In this story:


The Houston Rockets are hoping to flush out their last loss with a game back at home tonight as they take on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Rockets lost the first meeting between the two teams this season back in November when the Bucks walked away with a one-point win. Now, the Rockets are looking to settle the score with both teams playing in Houston at the Toyota Center.

The Rockets and Bucks both need this win to keep pace in their respective conferences, so it could very well be a bloodbath on the court.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of tonight's game.
