Atlanta Hawks' (11-7) mixed win-loss record of late has left them in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Their opponents tonight, the Houston Rockets (3-14), have been considerably less fortunate this season and are now in last place in the Western Conference.
The Rockets have lost five of their past six games and are coming into tonight on a two-game losing streak. The Hawks, meanwhile, have been alternating between victory and defeat from game to game since November 10 and will need to build a more consistent streak if they are to progress through the rankings.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Houston Rockets Betting Prediction
The Rockets are in dire straits right now. Not only are they at the bottom of the table, they're coming in tonight with a litany of injured players. Jae'Sean Tate's continued absence has done the team no favors. While the prospect of Bruno Fernando getting cleared for tonight is promising, it doesn't change the fact that the Rockets have struggled to gain ground at any point this season.
Despite their alarming inconsistency on the court this month, the Hawks are still coming into this game as the stronger side. Beyond Bogdan Bogdanovic's continued absence, they have mostly avoided major injuries lately and will have a stronger line-up tonight. An away-game victory for the Hawks seems very likely.
Prediction: Hawks -8 (-107)
