Bucks Host Rockets in Potential NBA Betting Online Finals Preview

Houston Rockets vs. Milwaukee Bucks NBA betting odds and Picks

In contrast to most teams Milwaukee has been one of the top NBA betting online values for this season.  Overall the Bucks have been one of the most profitable teams in the Association all year.  Giannis Antetokounmpo has emerged as a top tier marquee superstar.  In fact, Giannis is so great that he had an All-Star team named after him.  By contrast the Houston Rockets have been a disappointment.  Houston may be playoff bound but is struggling to stay in the black for 2018-19.  Questions abound about the Rockets ability to get back to the Western Conference Finals.

Milwaukee Bucks   

Now Milwaukee holds a three-game lead for top seed and home court advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs.  Six payouts in their last nine games have maintained the confidence of the betting public.  Milwaukee has lost only 13 of 35 home games to the odds makers.  NBA metrics are indicative of the Bucks strength as a top contender.  To illuminate Milwaukee ranks first in the Association for scoring offense and ninth for points allowed.  Owing to that is a record of 54-19 straight up, 43-27-3 against the spread, and 35-38 under the total.

Houston Rockets

By contrast Houston has paid in only two of their last six games with eight of their last ten staying under the number.  Road value has been poor for the Rockets.  Consider they have gotten the money in just 14 out of 36 away matchups.  Houston ranks 11th for scoring offense and 12th for points allowed.  As a result, the Rockets are 46-27 straight up, 33-37-3 vs. the odds, and 36-36-1 on totals.

Stats to Consider

Houston has been slightly profitable as an NBA betting online road dog.  For example, the Rockets have paid in seven of their last 12 getting points away from home.  Five of their last seven in that role have gone under the total.  Milwaukee has been in the black long term as a home favorite.  To show the Bucks have covered 10 of their last 17 as a home court chalk.  Eight of their last 12 in that situation have gone under the total.

Team vs. Team

Late, Milwaukee has had the recent edge in this head to head sportsbook series.  Houston has gotten the money in just one of their last four against the Bucks.    Three of the last five between these teams have gone under the total.  Further, at Milwaukee, the Bucks covered two of their last three with the Rockets.  Three of the last four between these teams in Brew City went over the total.

Matchup to Watch

On this occasion the Bucks and Rockets boast two of the most prolific scorers in the game.  Giannis Antetokounmpo of Milwaukee and James Harden of Houston dominate the NBA betting online matchup marquee.  Harden is averaging an astounding 36.5 points per outing.  Concurrently Giannis leads the Bucks with 27.5 points per game.
