I am in really solid form so far this week having landed a +789 odds Mega Parlay winner on Wednesday and a +861 odds NBA Mega Parlay winner on Saturday. Having only a 5-game slate on Sunday isn't ideal, but I will do my best to wrap up the week with another winner. I've picked out 3 teams on the Money Line, continue reading below to see them .

MIL Bucks ML vs HOU Rockets (-250)
Although the Bucks played last night, I wouldn't really put too much into that as their opponent was Detroit. They led by 23 points after the 1st quarter and none of the starters played more than 30 minutes, with Giannis Antetokounmpo playing just 26. Since their IST semi-final loss to Indiana, this team has recovered well with 3 wins on the bounce and is looking really sharp on the offensive end. They've now put up 146, 140 and 133 points in those 3 games, they'll need every bit of that to put the defensive minded Rockets away here.
Houston has won 5 in a row, however their last 3 wins were against Memphis (twice) and the San Antonio Spurs. I'm not taking anything away from this team though, they are definitely the biggest improvement in the entire NBA compared to last season. However, their road form has been suspect with just 2 wins in 10 outings. Milwaukee has owned them in recent head-to-head meetings winning 4 of the last 5 and 6 of the last 7 played at Fiserv Forum. With the Bucks also winning 12 of 13 at home overall, I think the 5-game win streak of the Rockets comes to an end tonight.
