Command Analysis
Houston Rockets
USACurrent form
The Rockets had been fighting Memphis for the second place in the Western Conference for a long time, but at some point they began to noticeably sink. The team was losing points, and with them positions, as they had to let Denver and the Lakers go ahead.
Of course, Houston is not against returning to the previous level, but first we need to find stability. In the previous match, Ime Udoka's team lost to Utah (115:124). Everything would be fine, but Jazz is on the penultimate line this season. The Rockets clearly need to take a deep breath and finally get involved in the fight, especially ahead of the duel against the unyielding Milwaukee.
Disqualifications and injuries
Steven Adams, Tari Eason, Jayshawn Tate, Fred Vanvleet and Cody Zeller will not play in the next match due to injuries.

Approximate composition: Smith Jr. - Brooks, Shengyun-Thompson, Green.
Milwaukee Bucks
USACurrent form
The Bucks have been looking great lately. The team found a balance between defense and attack, which helped to form a four-game winning streak. Milwaukee managed to beat Minnesota (103:101), Clippers (110:116), Washington (101:104) and Miami (113:120).
Yannis Adetokunbo, paired with Damian Lillard, look great on the floor and pull on the team. I would like to mention the efforts of newcomer Kyle Kuzma, who is slowly gaining momentum. For example, he scored 16 points in the last meeting. The Stags are preparing for an away clash with a motivated Houston, from which you can expect anything now.

1.89Tip and bets
An interesting confrontation awaits us. Houston will try to find stability and finally show that recent failures are in the past and the team is ready to fight again. Milwaukee is in great shape, has won four in a row and is unlikely to be ready to change anything.
We expect Houston to play as aggressively as possible, although it will be difficult to show their best basketball without Fred Vanvleet. The Bucks have everything in order, and Yannis Adetokunbo and Damian Lillard are ready to challenge the opponent's defense. In our opinion, the guests will take advantage of the problems of the hosts and impose their own game.
Our prediction is that Milwaukee will win with a handicap of (+5.5) points in 1.78

Milwaukee will have to respond to counterattacks, respectively, there is a chance to see a productive match, that is, there are all prerequisites to believe that the total will be broken.
Forecast - total more than 224.5 points in 1.71
