Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead the Bucks to victory, but perhaps none more so than Damian Lillard, who scored 33 points along with five assists. Another player making a difference was Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 22 points along with eight rebounds and six assists.
Meanwhile, the defenses reigned supreme when the Rockets and the Grizzlies played on Friday, rewarding bettors who took the risk on the low 212.5-point over/under. Houston walked away with a 103-96 victory over Memphis. The win was all the more spectacular given the Rockets were down 17 points with 0:11 left in the first quarter.

Sunday’s game is shaping up to be a blowout: The Bucks just can’t miss this season, having made 50.3% of their shots per game (they’re ranked second in field goal percentage per game overall).
