Houston at Milwaukee

You never hope for an injury. But the Bucks may have gotten extremely lucky when their starting point guard, Kevin Porter Jr., suffered a knee injury that required surgery. Unheralded Ryan Rollins has been a revelation replacing Porter. Rollins is averaging 16.7 points and 5.4 assists a game, while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor and making 85 percent of his free throws. Giannis Antetokounmpo also is off to a great start living up to his superstar status averaging 32.3 points, 12.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game. Milwaukee is 4-1 SU and ATS at home. The Rockets' five-game winning streak came to a crashing end with a disappointing, 121-110, road loss to the Spurs as 4-point favorites two days ago. Houston's biggest defensive weakness is defending against 3-pointers where it ranks 14th. Milwaukee is the fourth-most accurate 3-point shooting team. Take the Bucks.
