Houston brings a perfect record into Milwaukee, but must keep rolling without Alperen Sengun.
Houston arrives 4-0 and ranked No. 2 in the power index, while Milwaukee is 1-3 and ranked 24th. The Rockets average 120.75 points per game; the Bucks are allowing 122.25, a gap Milwaukee must address on its home floor. Houston will be without Alperen Sengun, who has 98 points, 36 rebounds and 28 assists in four games, leaving Kevin Durant’s 94 points even more central as Tyler Herro leads Milwaukee with 94. The key is whether the Bucks can slow Houston’s attack and make their own 116.75 points per game count against a Rockets defense allowing 111.
