00:03Another team in the Western Conference off to a pretty strong start this year.

00:07In fact, there's only three teams with double-digit wins.

00:10That's the Houston Rockets, 10-4 in year number two under Emei Odoka.

00:15Five-game win streak for Houston as they take that five-game streak

00:20on the road to Milwaukee tonight to box a three-and-a-half-point home favorite

00:24inside the Pfizer Forum.

00:26Yeah, give me the points in this with the Houston Rockets.

00:29Also, we're taking a look at the anticipated starting lineup,

00:31which does have Damian Lillard listed in there.

00:33But is that actually a good thing?

00:34It was like, hey, man, he was playing great basketball

00:36before he got his concussion.

00:37No, he wasn't, playing some of the worst basketball of his career.

00:40We saw a couple games ago a 59-point effort at Aeonis,

00:43which then the following game turned into a 22-point effort.

00:45Why not take the points with the Rockets?

00:47I don't understand what's going on with the Bucs.

00:49Way too talented at this type of season.

00:51But again, as I said, Damian Lillard coming back,

00:53which should be a great thing.

00:54I'm not so sure it is.

00:55I'll take the points tonight.

00:57The Houston Rockets, on this five-game win streak,

01:00have covered in four.

01:01In fact, the Rockets have covered in nine of ten victories

01:04so far this year, including twice outright as an underdog.

01:09And their two outright wins as a dog against the Mavericks

01:12and against the New York Knicks.

01:14Both totals have stayed under.

01:17Maybe something to keep in mind if, like Donnie,

01:19you expect this game to be competitive.

01:22The Bucs are still just four and nine this year.

01:26They have won two of their last three.

01:29They're four and nine straight up and four and nine ATS.

01:33It has not been pretty for the Milwaukee Bucs so far this season.

01:37Under an eight of 13 games,

01:39maybe leading to that under of a total tonight.
