If you’re a big fan of Numerology, we’ve got one for you right
here! Houston and Milwaukee currently sit in the No. 5 position
in their respective conference races, and tonight’s game is
taking place on 2-25-25! Meanwhile, non-numerologists who
go schedule hunting to pick a side here will probably start
salivating over Milwaukee like a bowhunter drawing down
on an eight-point whitetail. That’s because the Bucks are on
a 5-1 SU run while the Rockets are clearly misfi ring, losing
two of their last three, including a surprising loss to bottom-
feeding Utah – and all of that was preceded by a 2-6 slide. The
last time these two laced ‘em up was in mid-November, when
the Bucks prevailed in Beer City, winning 101-100. However,
despite that recent win, Milwaukee is just 3-7 ATS in the last
ten games in this series, including 0-4 ATS in the last four
meetings on this court. We like the fact that the Rockets lead
the NBA in Team Rebounding, besides holding down the No.
6 spot in overall Defensive Field Goal Percentage. We also
won’t worry about the number biting us, not when Houie is
an incredible 11-1 ATS in its last dozen outright wins in this
series. Remember, the Rocketeers are just two games back
from the No. 2 overall seed in the Western Conference playoff
race. We wrap things up with THE CLINCHER: Houston is
10-4 SUATS in this series with same-season revenge
from a single-digit loss, including 6-1 ATS at home. BY PLAYBOOK
