T.M. Selection: Milwaukee Bucks.

I like the Milwaukee Bucks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Friday. The Bucks have looked a lot better in their games lately now that their team has gotten a lot healthier from their injuries. They did not have a great start to the year but they have been playing great lately and have won a lot of games in their last 10, winning 8 of them. They have 2 losses in their previous 4 games but they also went on 8 game winning run right before losing 1 of those games. The Rockets have looked a lot better in their games lately too. They have won 7 games in a row but they still have only 8 wins this year so that run is only going to take them so far. The Rockets are also missing some players here due to injury like Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. which I think is going to hurt them a lot in this game. I think the Rockets are due for a let down since they are not a good team and have won 7 games in a row and they also just won their most recent game against the Nets in Harden's return to Houston. I think that they put a lot off effort and energy into that game to beat Harden and the Nets and I think this is going to be a let down for them. The Bucks are still trying to climb the standings and take over 1st place so they will be focused on winning this game. I think that the Rockets win streak is going to come to an end here by the Bucks and the Bucks are going to end it in a big way. I like the Bucks to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 114-94 Bucks.
