What you should know

The Houston Rockets have quite the challenge ahead as they are expected to be swept off the field. They might have tired legs after yesterday’s contest as they hit the road against the Milwaukee Bucks at 8 p.m. ET on Oct. 22 at the Fiserv Forum. The Rockets were on the wrong side in a one-sided rivalry with Milwaukee and are hoping to record their first win since April 29 last year.

Houston came up short against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, losing 129-122. One thing that held Houston back was the mediocre game of power forward Jabari Smith, who didn’t have his best game, playing a 3-for-14 shot for 34 minutes.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee sure made it a thrill, but they managed to walk away with a 90-88 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo was one of the most active players on the roster, nearly losing a triple-double with 21 points, 13 boards and eight assists.

Milwaukee’s win elevated them to 1-0, while Houston’s loss dropped them to 0-2. We’ll see if Milwaukee can repeat their recent success or if the Rockets strike back and reverse their fortunes.
