Overview
- Houston hosts Milwaukee on Wednesday at Toyota Center as the Rockets look to extend a three-game win streak.
- Milwaukee ended a rough stretch with a 123-99 win over Dallas on Tuesday, and Doc Rivers said he did not know if Giannis would play in Houston.
- The Rockets will be without Fred VanVleet and Steven Adams, and one preview listed Houston as a heavy favorite at HOU -16.5.
- Houston’s offense has leaned on the Durant–Sengun two-man game, which clicked in Tuesday’s 111-94 win over the Knicks with 35 assists and only 10 turnovers.
- Reports suggest Houston may pursue Giannis in the offseason, a possibility that adds intrigue to a late-season matchup shaped by injuries and shifting lineups.
