Atlanta at Houston

At 36-16, the Houston Rockets have seemingly moved among the elite teams in the NBA Western Conference. However, they have cooled off considerably after posting a long winning streak as they are just 5-7 in their last 12 games. They have also relied solely on offense as they have allowed seven of their last 14 opponents to score 118 points or more. Atlanta doesn't have the record to match Houston, but the Hawks are 28-21 on the season, and when you consider this team went through a woeful 1-10 stretch, they are 27-11 otherwise, and we are looking at an entirely different situation for this contest. Play the points on Atlanta.
