Bucks Seek Fifth Straight Victory Against Rockets

The Milwaukee Bucks are set to face the Houston Rockets in a matchup aimed at extending their current four-game winning streak. Coming off a victory against the Miami Heat, the Bucks, currently 32-24, are led by Damian Lillard and Brook Lopez, while the Rockets, sitting at 35-22, hope to improve their shooting performance after losing 7 of their last 10 games. Houston's Jalen Green is a key player, averaging 21.5 points, but the team struggles with a low three-point shooting percentage of 34.3%, the worst in the Western Conference. The game is critical for both teams as they vie for playoff positioning, with tip-off scheduled for 8 p.m. EST. Injuries may impact team performance, with Fred VanVleet's status uncertain for Houston. The Bucks aim to capitalize on their offensive edge, averaging 114.2 points per game compared to the Rockets' 109.0 points allowed.
