Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
ESPN’s Matchup Predictor has the Hawks as 71.4 percent favorites against Houston’s 28.6 percent. Picking Atlanta SU is easy, but their trend of not covering is concerning, even against a poor team like the Rockets, if you’re looking at the spread.
The Hawks should walk away with a win on Friday, but if they let their guards down, the score might not reflect how far apart these two franchises really are on the competitive spectrum.
This game likely won’t ever really feel in question, but the Rockets could keep this one closer than most expect.
