Tuesday, January 28th the Rockets are on the road to face the Atlanta Hawks in the first of two scheduled meetings this season.
Both teams are completing back-to-back sets with the Rockets having pulled off another statement win, this time in Boston versus the Celtics on Monday while the Hawks lost 92-100 to the Timberwolves.
Season Series
In a rarity, the two clubs have each won 82 times in their franchise’s history while last year the Hawks swept the two-game regular season contests.
*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Monday, January 27th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Tuesday, January 28th.
Houston Rockets
It’s been an impressive run by the upstart Rockets who keep collecting statement-type victories. In the last three games alone they took down the top two Eastern squads with consecutive victories versus the Cavaliers followed by their clutch time win in Boston.
Young teams take time to learn how to close out games so the fact the Rockets are winning with such a young roster speaks to their growth.

Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta’s Jekyl and Hyde season reached its apex last week as the Hawks fell not once but twice in a row to the Raptors. In fairness, (as you’ll know if you read my previews) the dino’s record was impacted by injury and they’re finally somewhat healthy.
The oddity is how well Atlanta has fared versus the upper echelon combined with their defensive improvement this season.

Free NBA Prediction
Since both clubs are completing a back-to-back set neither has a rest advantage. The Rockets are the stronger, deeper, more talented team but that is precisely the type of team the Hawks were shocking earlier this season.
But they have lost five games in a row, are somewhat hobbled (need Jalen Johnson desperately), and just look to be in a funk offensively. Take the Rockets to win and cover the spread.
