The Atlanta Hawks welcome the Houston Rockets to State Farm Arena Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockets vs. Hawks odds, and our expert NBA picks and predictions.
The Hawks come into this game with high expectations on the season after trading for former Spurs star G Dejounte Murray in the offseason. The combination of Murray and G Trae Young is expected to be one of the best in the NBA. F John Collins and C Clint Capela are also players to keep an eye on.
The Rockets added F Jabari Smith Jr. from Auburn with the 3rd-overall selection in the 2022 NBA Draft. Smith and the No. 2 overall pick from the 2021 NBA Draft, G Jalen Green, will spearhead Houston’s attack. The Rockets traded away C Christian Wood this offseason, and his absence will be notable.
