THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* *Bucks/Rockets* TOP CONSENSUS TOTAL!
(NBA) Milwaukee vs. Houston, 08/02/2020 8:30 PM, Score: 116 - 120
Total: 242.00 | -106.00 Under
Result: Win
This is a 10* TOP CONSENSUS TOTAL on the UNDER Bucks/Rockets.

Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead over Boston, but then had to hold on for a 119-112 win in its return to play opener.

The Rockets managed to push their game to OT vs. the Mavericks and then they'd hold on and pull away for the 153-149 win.

These are two teams which like to get out and push the pace of the ball from the opening tip until the final horn, however we think that each side comes in "gassed" here after their difficult opening contests.

Furthermore note that Milwaukee has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 12 after allowing 110 points or more in an ATS victory in its last outing, while the Rockets have seen the total dip under in 15 of their last 21 after winning and scoring more than 150 points in their previous outing.

Heavy legs leads to a lower-scoring (in relative terms) contest between these two normally high-scoring sides.

Good luck, NP
