Atlanta Hawks vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Rockets are the better team and should be favored at home, but they’re also a young team that’s having issues dealing with expectations. Right when it looks like the Rockets have figured things out, they lose to the Nuggets as 7.5-point favorites. The Hawks have quietly won seven of their last 10 games and they’ve outright won three of their last five games as an underdog. The Rockets have failed to cover eight of their last 11 games when favorites of five or more points. I want the points with the Hawks in a game they could win outright depending on which Rockets team shows up.
