We expect a Hawks win given how both teams have played of late, but Houston has a good shot of upending that outcome.

The Houston Rockets will play host to the Atlanta Hawks at their home arena of Toyota Center this Friday (March 20) night. There, the Rockets will be looking to snap their current losing streak vs. their Eastern Conference foe.

On the other side of the court, a red-hot Hawks outfit has a different point of view on how this contest should end as they look to keep their current win streak rolling vs. Houston. We expect a Hawks win given how both ball clubs have been playing of late, but Houston has a very good shot of upending that outcome given their recent skid and the motivation it could provide.
