The Hawks have already clinched their spot in the play-in tourney for the playoffs but they have not been playing well recently coming into this game. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games and they are going up against a Rockets team that has been losing a lot by not by much in their recent games. The Rockets have lost 6 straight games coming into this one but a lot of their losses have been within 10 points and they are coming off of a loss against the Raptors where they only lost by 2 points on the road and the Raptors had their starters playing in that game. The Hawks need to start getting into playoff form if they want to make a run and they should be able to win this game but it could be a challenge for them with how both of these teams have been playing. The Hawks should still win this game but the Rockets will likely keep this game close as they have recently and try to finish their season off on a good note.
