Full disclosure: Due to time constraints, I am writing this preview before Houston takes on the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. So if anything wild happened in that game or any injuries occurred, I am not mentioning them because I cannot tell the future.
The Milwaukee Bucks had to wait an extra day to start their season. Most teams began on Wednesday, but the Bucks played their first game in Philadelphia on Thursday. Milwaukee led by 10 heading into the final frame and by 13 with 10:30 left in the game, but the Sixers erased the deficit over the next four minutes.
