The Rockets travel to Milwaukee to take on the Bucks with the impending likely return of Damian Lillard after missing a few games in the NBA concussion protocol. Giannis has been added to the injury report as well but is listed as probable.
The spread has been moving between -2.5 and -4 on the Bucks' side, as the injury news shakes out. Shoot around will happen around 1 p.m. ET, which is when these question marks should become clear.
I'm waiting on Giannis and Dame to be cleared, likely seeing this line return to -4, and then taking the Rockets ATS and ML at plus-odds.
Right now the Rockets moneyline is +135, and while this is the side I want, the injury news makes it worth waiting on.
The Rockets are on the second leg of a road back to back after playing the Bulls and winning handily last night in Chicago. They had a lax fourth quarter and a short road trip, so being wary of the exhaustion factor is minimal.
This Rockets team fights hard and is incredibly well coached, two things we struggle to say for the Milwaukee side.
The over/under opened right around 220, and has steadily increased to 224 since then.
This shows me Dame is likely going to be active and the betting market is starting to price that in. He is a sniper from deep, and a traffic cone on the defensive end. Lillard is one of the NBA's biggest boosts to overs as an individual player. HOU +3.5

Tonight's game will be a contrast in tempo with the Warriors ranking fifth in pace while the Clippers rank 23rd. The Clippers' style won out in the first meeting in a 112-104 victory that went under a line of 221.5 points. While Curry did not finish that game, tonight's matchup features two top 10 defenses with the Clippers being on a second end of a back-to-back.
The Clippers are playing their fourth back-to-back this season and on the second end of their back-to-backs so far, the under has hit in two of three games with an average of 222.6 points. One of those games was against the Warriors, which finished with 216 points. The Clippers are 9-5 to the under overall this season and tonight, we get the total at 225.5 points.
For the under to hit, we will need misses and rebounds and for that I am looking at Curry and Zubac. Curry will have opportunities for long rebounds off 3-point misses while Zubac will be able to capitialize on his size advantage against the Warriors as well as being in a more featured role this season.
