Rockets vs Hawks Betting Picks and Analysis
Atlanta has won five of the seven games after that match. On Friday, the Hawks defeated the 76ers 127-121 on the road, their first road win against the Sixers since 2021. According to pay per head bookie reports, the league named Trae Young as part of the All-Star Game this week as an injury replacement. On Friday, he added 37 points and 12 assists.
In addition to his eight boards, Atlanta big Onyeka Okongwu scored twenty-one points on nine of twelve shooting. With Clint Capela sidelined with a left adductor injury, fourth-year player Okongwu has started the last three games, averaging 19.3 minutes per game. Okongwu is used to coming off the bench to replace Capela.
Since Capela will sit out the match versus Houston, Okongwu will likely get more playing time than usual. With their final game of a four-game road trip, the Rockets will travel to Atlanta hoping to steal a victory.
