Houston Rockets vs Milwaukee Bucks Prediction: the Rockets will level the score

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 26. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Houston Rockets

The Rockets played their last game on the road against Western Conference outsider Utah and unexpectedly lost. Yes, this game was a back-to-back game for Aimee Udoka's team, but it still doesn't justify a loss to the penultimate team in the West - 115:124. Two Houston players scored double-doubles each. Alperen Schengyun had 27 points and 12 rebounds, and Jaylen Green had 25 points and 10 assists.

Interestingly, before the loss to Utah, Houston defeated a very tough opponent - Minnesota (121:115). The Rockets are in fifth place in the Western Conference standings with a 35-22 record, but the team's instability casts doubt on both the successful completion of the regular season and Houston's potential success in the playoffs.

Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks hosted Miami in their last game. Doc Rivers' team was losing for most of the game, but managed to make a decisive breakthrough near the end of the game. The result was 120-113. Yannis Adetokunbo had a double-double for Milwaukee, with 23 points and 16 rebounds. Damian Lillard also had a great game - 28 points and 8 assists.

Thus, having won their game and taking advantage of the opponent's misfire, Milwaukee overtook Indiana and are now in the top-4 of the Eastern Conference standings. The Bucks have a 32-24 win total.

H2H Meetings

The score in the season series is 1-0 in favor of Milwaukee.
