The Hawks are coming into this game with an 11-15 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but those are their only 2 wins in their last 8 games and their 2 wins in that span came against the Pistons and the Raptors in a revenge game. The Hawks started the season playing well on the road but this has been a team that has struggled on the road over the last 3 years now and those road troubles have started to creep up once again this season. They have lost 4 of their last 5 as well as 6 of their last 8 games on the road with their only 2 wins in that span coming in a 2 point win over the Spurs and a big win against the Raptors in a game where they had lost in Toronto the previous game. They are going up against a Rockets team that is 13-11 this season and has been very dominant at home all year as they are 11-1 there. They have also been playing much better recently as they have won 5 of their last 7 games and are starting to figure things out now with their new lineup. They are coming off of 2 straight losses in their last 2 games but both losses were on the road against the Bucks and the Cavaliers who are 2 of the better teams in the Eastern Conference. The Rockets are going to be hungry to bounce back at home here where they have been so much better all season and the Hawks will continue to struggle on the road like they have recently. The Rockets will cover the spread in this game.
