Hawks vs. Rockets Game Info
Atlanta Hawks (19-20, 9-11 Away) vs. Houston Rockets (11-26, 5-11 Home)
Date: Tuesday, March 16, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: Toyota Center — Houston, Texas
New Atlanta Hawks coach Nate McMillan has turned the team around in a hurry. The Hawks are winners of the last five games. Trae Young has been the leader of the team, scoring 25 in three of the past five games. In a blowout of the Cavaliers last game, John Collins led the Hawks with a 22-point, 13-rebound double-double. Danilo Gallinari has also turned up his play as a late, averaging 17.2 points during March thus far.
While the Hawks are winners of the last five games, the Rockets are headed in the opposite direction. They have lost 16 straight games, going a month and a half without a win. They are a dumpster fire, and both John Wall and Eric Gordon continue to be out tonight. If there is a positive to bring up about Houston, it has to be Kevin Porter Jr. In his three games since joining the team, he has averaged 17.0 points and 8.3 assists.

Hawks vs. Rockets Prediction
We really have two teams heading in different directions here, and it feels foolish to bet for that to change. Yes, 9 points is a lot, but the Rockets don’t match up well with Atlanta.
Prediction: Hawks -9
