Jabari Smith Jr. seemed to have stripped Giannis clean. Lucas argues a bit, checks with the assistants but chooses not to challenge the call, Smith’s second foul. Giannis misses both free throws but Bucks get rebound and hit a 3 to tie it. – 7:57 PM

Rockets in their past six games have made just 30.7 percent of their 3-pointers. They are 0 for 5 to start, down seven with 3 1/2 minutes left in Q1. Only three teams allow fewer 3s than the Bucks but the Rockets must hit a few. Made 43.2 % in the first meeting. – 7:28 PM

With Giannis Antetokounmpo in town, thought it would be good for those clicking on Tankathon to remember not just that he famously went 15th in the 2013 draft, but just one of the first 14 picks has ever been an All-Star (Victor Oladipo.)
FWIW (not much), you never know. – 6:56 PM
