Houston Rockets vs Atlanta Hawks prediction

The Atlanta Hawks are still the worst covering team in the NBA, but they've won 5 of their last 7 games, making this their best stretch of the season. The Houston Rockets also can't get out of this funk as their offense can't find any consistent success, and I doubt playing on the end of a back to back helps things. I'll continue to fade the Hawks, but in their current form, especially against bad teams, they have to be the play. Give me the Hawks in this spot against a Rockets side going nowhere fast.
