Milwaukee at Houston

The Milwaukee Bucks certainly appear to be the most improved team in the NBA this season. Last year this team struggled through a dismal season that left them with just 15 wins, but have already won 27 games, and we have not even reached the All-Star break. All of this in spite of losing their #1 draft pick and solid contributor, Jabari Parker, for the season. The Rockets' offense has not been up to par in their last five games as after scoring 102 or more points in 16 of 19 games, they have failed to top the 101-point mark in each of their last five. Milwaukee has held 15 of their last 19 opponents, in regulation minutes, to 95 or fewer points, and that should be the difference here vs. a Houston team that is suddenly struggling on the offensive end. Play the points on Milwaukee.
