Bucks vs. Rockets Best NBA Prop Bets
Rockets Best NBA Prop Bet
- Kevin Durant OVER 29.5 Points + Assists (-115)
Kevin Durant is coming off a strong showing against the Knicks last night with 27 points and eight assists in the victory. He’s now averaging 25.9 points and 4.6 assists per game on the season, and he’s been playing well as of late.
Durant has gone OVER 29.5 points + assists in six of his last seven games, including both halves of a back-to-back two weeks ago. He should clear this number again tonight at home.
Bucks vs. Rockets Prediction and Pick
The Bucks may be feeling good after a win last night, but that doesn’t mean much heading into tonight’s game in Houston. Milwaukee upset the Suns two weeks ago and then lost by 33 in its next game.
Houston is coming off a 17-point win last against the Knicks and a 28-point win in New Orleans. The Rockets should be able to cover against the lowly bucks tonight.
Pick: Rockets -17.5 (-108)
