Free Milwaukee Bucks vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
Milwaukee is fresh off a gutsy and dramatic one-point showdown. And why would anyone have expected anything different? Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic headlining? Absolutely beautiful stuff.
This Bucks game on Sunday, though? It shouldn’t resemble that last contest in any way, shape or form—except for the win.
Milwaukee won’t mess around in Houston. Getting the lead early and keeping on the gas should be an actual goal for the Bucks, who would love to rest their starters late.
Don’t expect a close game even if both teams put up big points, since Houston, specifically, should take advantage of garbage time.
Road Bucks get this one straight up and against the spread.
