The Bucks have won 3 in a row and have taken the first 2 of their 4 game road trip.
As for the Rockets, they’ve completely lost it on the defensive end and will look to lock down here and put the brakes on their losing streak as they continue to slip in the West.
Milwaukee
Milwaukee has played their best basketball during this recent 3 game winning streak as they’ve knocked off Atlanta at home and have now taken the Hornets and Heat both on the road.
Milwaukee has finally locked down defensively and for the first time all season long they’re playing with some confidence.

The Bucks have held their last 3 opponents to an average of 90.7 points per game and have won 5 of their last 7 overall. This recent stretch comes after allowing an average of 120 points in back to back losses earlier this month against the Bulls and Spurs.
The Bucks back to back road wins have now pushed their road record to 7-18 SU. They sit in 12th in Eastern Conference, but are just 3.5 games off of the final playoff spot.
Houston
The Rockets meanwhile have been completely lost it on the defensive end.
They’ve allowed 263 points combined over their last 2 losses to the Clippers and Pistons. The losses have now pushed them back to the .500 mark and into 7th in the West.
The most encouraging thing for Houston has been the play of James Harden. The Rockets star went off for 33 points, 17 rebounds, and 14 assists in the loss to Detroit.
Dwight Howard sprained his ankle in the loss to Detroit early in the first quarter and is listed as questionable for Friday. Howard has played such a big role, when healthy, for this Rockets team as they are completely lost inside without him.
Houston has won 4 straight games in this series.

The Bucks have played much better than the Rockets recently, but Milwaukee has still been a bad road team this season.
Pending Howard’s status, look for the Rockets to dominate inside here and have no problem getting to the rim with him and Harden.
