Bucks vs. Rockers preview tonight.

Milwaukee (23-21) at Houston (15-29) 8:30 pm EST HOUSTON (Ticker) -- The Milwaukee Bucks have an opportunity to pick up a rare victory in a place they have not fared well. Milwaukee tries to break a five-game road losing streak to the Houston Rockets when the teams conclude their two-game season series Wednesday. The Bucks have lost 11-of-14 games at Houston since the 1987-1988 season and have dropped 23 of their last 24 road contests against Western Conference opposition. Michael Redd scored 32 points - his 10th 30-point outing of the campaign - and T.J. Ford added 16 for the Bucks in Monday's 94-93 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats. Milwaukee's last three road defeats have been by a total of eight points. Houston is 29th in the league in scoring (89.6) and field goal percentage (42.5). The Rockets have the worst record in the Western Conference and the league's worst home mark (4-15). Tracy McGrady scored 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and Juwan Howard added 18 for Houston, which lost its third straight game with Monday's 86-77 defeat to the Memphis Grizzlies. Houston limited Milwaukee to nine points in the fourth quarter in their previous meeting, a 97-80 victory on January 23. McGrady scored 41 points for the Rockets.
