But at least the Rockets have put up a decent fight recently at the betting window. They’ve covered in four of their last five road games and they’ve been solid coming off losses, going 4-1 ATS in their last five games coming off defeat. The Bucks, meanwhile, are 2-5 against the number in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home and are just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games versus Western Conference opponents.
In a matchup where both teams are licking their wounds, we trust Houston to play better coming off a loss than Milwaukee.
