The Rockets are playing better this season and they play really well at home. They have won their last eleven games at home and they are facing a Hawks team that is one of the worst in the league for covering spreads, especially on the road. Atlanta hasn't done well against the Rockets on the road in the past and is a let down spot for them after getting the win against Detroit. This is a nice bounce back spot for the Rockets who return home after losing back to back games on the road.

Houston is 11-1 ATS in home games this season. Atlanta is 1-12 ATS after failing to cover 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread this season. Atlanta is 7-24 ATS after a win by 6 points or less over the last 3 seasons. Atlanta are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games. Atlanta are 4-8 SU in their last 12 games against Houston. Atlanta are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games on the road. Houston are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games.

Best bet: lay the points with Houston.
