The Milwaukee Bucks are set to take on the Houston Rockets in what should be a jam-packed matchup that fine-tuned Miluakee for the postseason. It will also be a chance for gamblers to get in on the action and make a little money during the week.
Milwaukee Bucks
Let’s start with the Milwaukee Bucks, who are 3-2 in their last 5 games and 6-4 in their last 10 outings. That might sound like the most consistent record to have during this final stretch of the season, especially after getting beaten by the Atlanta Hawks, but they are still one of the most consistent teams in the league
Their last 5 games even include 2 wins over the Philadelphia 76ers and a victory over the 8th ranked Charlotte Hornets. Sure, there is a matter of their 1 point loss to the Phoenix Suns, but one could argue that had more to do with burnout than a measure of which team is better.
Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets are 0-5 in their last 5 games and 1-9 in their last 10. It’s also no secret that this team has next to nothing going for it without the presence of James Harden. In fact, their leading scorer, Jae’Sean Tate, only averages 11 points per game and averages around 4 turnovers as well.
If nothing else, this is not a team you want to take a chance on under any circumstances. Not only the Moneyline or even on the spread. The team is in full rebuild mode and will need a few seasons to even be a competitor again.
Add in the fact that the Bucks are one of the best defensive teams in the league and you can’t imagine the Rockets getting over that large hump.
Free Milwaukee Bucks vs Houston Texans NBA Prediction:
Let’s start with the factors in the Bucks’ favor. This includes having the better overall record, the better 5 game record, and being one of the best defensive teams in the league.
They also have an all-star cast of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brooke Lopez, Jrue Holiday, and several others, who should shut down the Rockets offense real quick.
The only real caveat affecting the Bucks is their low assist totals this season, but even that shouldn’t be enough to give the Rockets any kind of chance.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Bucks -12.5
Just do yourself a favor and go with the Bucks straight up. If you want to bet the spread, go only with the Bucks even if you think Houston can keep it somewhat close. The truth is that the Rockets have lost 6 of their last 10 games by 10 points or more. That’s not a team you want to bet on.
As for the over-under, you might want to go over with this one due to how badly the Houstons blowouts have been lately. Add on the white-hot Buck’s offense and you could easily hit over pretty quickly.
As long as you stay away from the Rockets side of the table entirely, you’ll be just fine and could even end up making some money off of it!
