The hottest team in the NBA is set to take the court Friday night for a chance to earn its eighth-straight win. Believe it or not, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks aren’t the ones streaking. It’s the red-hot Houston Rockets led by Christian Wood.
Houston has won seven in a row but will be facing their stiffest competition in weeks. The Bucks have won 10 of their last 12 games as Khris Middleton returned from a COVID-related absence that had Milwaukee stuck in the mud to begin the season.
Now that he’s back, the Bucks are looking like the NBA championship team of a season ago. Will their recent uptick in play be enough to put an end to the Rockets’ epic stretch?
Let’s see which player props are worth looking out for during Friday night’s game.
