The Bucks crushed the Rockets Tuesday at home, where Zaza and Danny G shut down Yao, and the Bucks rolled. I'd have to think the Rockets will be looking for revenge, and will win this game at home Rockets by 5
Rockets are out for blood in this one. Yao, though, might again have a bad night due to physical play from Zaza and Gadzuric. We have Wesley this time around in his home debut though, so we will definitely be more enthusiastic tonight than we were in Milwaukee. Rockets by 9.
