The Houston Rockets, riding a three-game winning streak, will host the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. The Rockets' offense has been clicking, with All-Stars Kevin Durant and Alperen Sengun leading the way. In their last game against the Knicks, the Rockets shot an impressive 53.8% from the field and drained 15 3-pointers, thanks in part to their ability to share and protect the ball.

Why it matters

The Rockets' recent success has been fueled by their efficient offense and improved ball security. As they look to extend their win streak against the struggling Bucks, the Rockets will need to continue to get contributions from their supporting cast to complement the Durant-Sengun duo.

The details

Against the Knicks, Durant paired a game-high 27 points with 8 assists, while Sengun posted a 13-point, 10-assist double-double. The Rockets' success was also due to their role players, as Reed Sheppard, Tari Eason, and Jabari Smith Jr. combined to shoot 10-for-19 from behind the arc. The Rockets have averaged just 10.6 turnovers during their current winning streak, a significant improvement from their season average of 15.7, which ranks 27th in the NBA.

What they’re saying

“I think they do a good job of recognizing who has it going on what matchup. But teams will try to take us out of that, and as I've always said, we've got to improve against the blitz and making the right plays in the pocket. When you see Alperen being that decisive and making the right read, you're encouraged by it.”
