Atlanta Hawks vs Houston Rockets Preview

The Hawks need changes

The Hawks will come into this game after clashing against the Minnesota Timberwolves away from home. Thus, this home affair will be a back-to-back match which means they will be exhausted during the game. The Hawks have double more losses than wins this month, which has jeopardized their chances to get into the top six rankings. Trae Young has been sensational on the offensive end as usual but his lack of perimeter defense has hurt the team. The Hawks allow the most three-pointers a game and give up over 118 points a game, easily making them one of the worst defensive squads in the league. This is despite Dyson Daniels’ emergence as a defensive player(ranks 1st in steals with 3.1 SPG)

The Rockets are hitting the gas pedal

The Rockets will enter this back-to-back affair after clashing against the reigning champions Boston Celtics. They have won more than 70% of their matches in January and are closing in on the second seed in the Western Conference steadily. The team is terrific at all positions on both ends. The quartet of Amen Thompson, Dillon Brooks, Fred Van Vleet, and Jalen Green meshes brilliantly while Alperen Sengun brings a tremendous feel to the game as their Center. The squad plays a four-guard, one-big lineup, and sixth man Tari Eason enhances their two-way prominence.
