The Rockets should get the benefit of the doubt at home and they’re due for a win after a rough week. However, in what world am I going to lay points with the struggling Rockets and step in front of the red-hot Hawks? It makes no sense. The Hawks have won 11 straight games and are 10-1 ATS in those games as well. The Hawks have a pep in their step and we’ve been backing them blindly along the way. For their talent level, the Rockets have been underwhelming as of late and they’re 29-39 ATS on the season. Give me the points.
