NBA Look Ahead; Wednesday, Dec 22, 8:00pm CT

We’ve got a great week of NBA games slated for this week, and it’ll get started on Tuesday. The NBA is ramping up in intensity as we near the midway point of the season.

Positioning in the Eastern and Western Conference is starting to settle out as well. Although the lines aren’t available just yet, we can get a good idea of the winners of these ones.

To start it off, we’ll be covering Houston Rockets against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Rockets will head to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks on Wednesday.

10-20 Underdogs Houston Rockets vs Battered Milwaukee Bucks

The Houston Rockets have had a tough season this year and are currently 10-20 on the season. Strangely enough, the Rockets have a better record against the spread than the Bucks do.

Still, they’ll likely come in as heavy underdogs against the Milwaukee Bucks. This is especially true if Giannis is back in the lineup, and the Rockets are missing a ton of players. 

Milwaukee is pretty worse for the wear right now as well. They went into the weekend, missing Khris Middleton and Giannis Antetokounmpo. With so many players injured on each side, you’ll have to be careful about who to choose here.

For us, the best bet will be the home team here, the Milwaukee Bucks. So far this season, the Bucks are 10-4 when playing at home.
