It’s Tuesday, January 28, and the Houston Rockets (31-14) and the Atlanta Hawks (22-24) are all set to square off from State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
Houston continued its ascendant season with a win in Boston last night over the Celtics, 114-112. Amen Thompson scored the winning bucket with 0.7 seconds remaining. Thompson finished the night with 33 points as the Rockets won their third straight, fourth in five games, and ninth in their last 11. The Hawks lost last night in Minnesota, 100-92. It was their fifth consecutive loss. DeAndre Hunter scored a career-high 35 points but it was not enough to lift Atlanta to victory. Starters Trae Young (hamstring), Dyson Daniels (ankle), and Jalen Johnson (shoulder) each sat the game out for the Hawks.
The Rockets are currently 16-6 on the road with a point differential of +6, while the Hawks have a 5-5 record in their last ten games at home.
