Milwaukee at Houston

There is no way to sugarcoat it, the Houston Rockets have gone from an annual Championship contender to a bottom feeder as they have emptied the roster of all-star elites. Houston is just 8-16 on the season despite their seven straight wins. All but one of those are vs. a poor team. They won't have an easy time of it tonight. The Milwaukee Bucks are among the NBA elite, and they are playing as well as they have all season at 10-2. I think the much improved-looking play by the Rockets is dwarfing this line because Milwaukee is a better team and is playing even better right now. I like Milwaukee to cover in this one. Play the Bucks.
