Houston Rockets vs Atlanta Hawks Predictions

• Rockets vs Hawks pick: Under 228.5 points (-115)
• Rockets vs Hawks prop bet: Thompson Under 17.5 points (-120)

This is a makeup game between these teams, as bad weather in the Atlanta area forced this game to be postponed on January 11.

Now, both teams play the makeup game after playing the night earlier. The Hawks have struggled on the second night of a back-to-back, going 3-6-0 against the spread. Houston has been a better bet, posting a 4-3-1 mark ATS, a Top 10 mark in the NBA.

Without their offensive catalyst in Young, Atlanta — a Top 10 scoring unit at 116.3 points per game had its lowest scoring output of the season with 92.

The defense hasn’t been great either, but that’s been true to form for the season, as the Hawks are 28th in the NBA in scoring, allowing 118.9 points per contest.

The Rockets enter after going into Boston and upending the defending champs, with Amen Thompson playing hero, dropping in a floater with 0.7 seconds left to seal the victory.

Over the last 11 games, Houston has been a scoring dynamo, putting up 120.6 points per contest, shooting 47.5% from the field and a blistering 40.6% clip from 3-point range. The Rockets are the top offensive rebounding team in basketball, and they’re averaging 16.2 per game during this fun-run, a big reason why they lead the NBA in field goal attempts per game at 93.6.

If there is a concern, it’s that the Rockets’ sixth-ranked scoring defense has sagged, as they are allowing 114.6 points per contest, with teams shooting a crisp 39.1% against them from 3-point range.

This is set up for a letdown game for the Rockets. After a supercharged win in Boston, it’s going to be tough to ramp it up again the next night against the the ninth-place team in the East. Thompson and Sengun each played 40+ minutes, while all the Houston starters went for at least 34 minutes except Green, who was headed there too until he left with an injury.

Atlanta has also owned this head-to-head recently, winning and covering the spread in four of the last five meetings. However, the Hawks injuries are notable, so we’ll target the total. Houston is averaging 110.8 points on the second night of a back-to-back, with Atlanta averaging 112.3.

The Houston Rockets are set to take on the Atlanta Hawks in what promises to be an exciting matchup on January 28th. Both teams have been performing well this season, with the Rockets currently sitting in the middle of the Western Conference standings and the Hawks making a strong push in the Eastern Conference.

As we look ahead to this game, there are a few key player props and odds to keep an eye on. One player to watch for the Rockets is James Harden, who has been putting up impressive numbers all season long. Harden is currently averaging over 30 points per game and is a threat from beyond the arc as well as driving to the basket. Look for Harden to have a big game against the Hawks and potentially hit the over on his points prop.

On the other side of the court, Trae Young has been leading the charge for the Hawks this season. Young is averaging over 25 points per game and is a dynamic playmaker on offense. He will be a key player for the Hawks in this matchup and could potentially hit the over on his points prop as well.

In terms of odds, the Rockets are currently favored to win this game by a slim margin. However, the Hawks have been playing well as of late and could potentially pull off an upset. It will be important to keep an eye on the injury report leading up to the game to see if any key players will be sidelined.

Overall, this matchup between the Rockets and Hawks promises to be a high-scoring affair with plenty of exciting plays on both ends of the court. Keep an eye on player props and odds leading up to the game to make informed decisions on your bets.
