Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will open the 2019-20 season Thursday at Toyota Center against the Houston Rockets, seeking to take the next step in its collective growth. Of the nine Bucks players who logged at least 1,000 minutes last season, seven are back in the fold for Milwaukee -- including guard Eric Bledsoe, who returned from a rib injury this week and will start the opener.
The Bucks have really pushed the tempo in the preseason and I expect that to continue. The Rockets have Harden and Westbrook but i expect it to take some time for that duo to gel together and work.
I like the BUCKS in their opener and this game to go OVER the total as I look for a run and gun game tonight.
