Milwaukee Bucks Game Preview: Jan. 23 vs Houston Rockets

The Milwaukee Bucks losing streak is up to five, and the team will have a hard time snapping it against the Houston Rockets in Milwaukee on Monday.

The Milwaukee Bucks just can’t stop losing games. They’ve now lost five of them in a row, to the Atlanta Hawks, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Houston Rockets, the Orlando Magic and the Miami Heat.

The recent streak is all-the-worse because only two of those teams are actually all that good, although the 76ers have certainly been peppy in 2017. The Bucks used to look like a team that was better or as good as all of those teams besides Houston, but Milwaukee still lost all of the games.

Now those Rockets are back on the Bucks’ docket, although this time the game will take place in Milwaukee. The Bucks had a great first quarter against this team the last time they faced off–maybe Milwaukee can conjure up some magic to end this sad losing streak.

To find out how either team could come up with enough great quarters to win on Monday, we’ll look through major keys to victory for both the Bucks and the Rockets. After that it’s time to look at a Rocket to watch, followed by predictions on the game’s final score.
