Milwaukee Bucks vs Houston Rockets
PREVIEW: The Houston Rockets (5-3) travel to Milwaukee to face the Bucks (6-3) on Sunday, November 9, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. ET at Fiserv Forum. Houston enters with a pronounced three-point shooting weakness, ranking 30th in three-point attempt frequency at just 33.9 percent, while also struggling with defensive rebounding and a high turnover rate that ranks 28th league-wide. Meanwhile, Milwaukee boasts elite offensive efficiency, ranking first in both three-point shooting and attacking the rim, though the Bucks' perimeter defense remains vulnerable at 24th in the league.
The Rockets average 122.9 points per game compared to Milwaukee's 120.6, but the Bucks allow just 112.9 points defensively, making this a clash between two offensively-minded squads. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to play at an MVP level, averaging 33.4 points and leading the league with 12.9 rebounds per game for the home team. The Rockets counter with balanced scoring threats, though their reliance on midrange shots and post-ups combined with their reluctance to launch threes creates an unconventional offensive identity that contrasts sharply with Milwaukee's floor-spacing approach. Kevin Durant leads Houston with 24.0 points per game while Alperen Sengun contributes 22.8 points alongside 9.8 rebounds. The Bucks have found tremendous success at home, posting a dominant 4-1 record against the spread at Fiserv Forum this season.
