Milwaukee Bucks vs. Houston Rockets, game to measure strength between conferences. Number one in the East vs. number five in the West. Some say the Bucks are far superior to the Rockets, but the Rockets are here on their own merit. Both teams have proven to be able to play and win against any team this season.
Milwaukee Bucks: Close to the title.
The Bucks are number one in the Eastern Conference at 54-12. In addition, the team has the best overall record of the season. Most recent was the victory against the Boston Celtics 119-112. The Bucks will most likely win the conference title, something the team hasn’t done since 1974. Also, the Bucks’ last NBA championship was in 1971.
The team is scoring an average of 118.7 points per game, 43.62 FG points, 74.5% free throw shots, 13.71 three pointers, 25.95 assists, and 29.57 points per quarter. The defense allows up to 107.4 points, 38.68 FG points and 13.65 three pointers. This is the first game of the season against the Rockets.
Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with 29.8 points per game, 55% FG points, 30.7% three pointers. Giannis’ weak point is free throws with just 63.2% effectiveness. Middleton is the second player with an average of twenty points with 21.0 per game, 41% three pointers and 91% free throws. Bledsoe (coronavirus) will not be available tonight like Connaughton and Williams.
Houston Rockets: The Dream in August.
The Rockets won against the Mavericks yesterday. The team showed superiority by preventing the Mavericks from winning 153-149. After this game the Rockets play against Trailblazers and Lakers.
