Atlanta - Houston. NBA match betting tip

Match announcement
Atlanta Hawks
Current form
Atlanta returned home after an unsuccessful road series. In the last match, the team from Georgia lost to Phoenix (115:123). The Hawks failed in defense and were unable to stop the star tandem of Suns forwards. Even 21 points and 7 assists by Trae Young did not help the Hawks much.
Atlanta continues to occupy the ninth place in the Eastern Conference standings. For now, this place gives the team the opportunity to hope for getting into the playoff zone, but the Hawks' position is quite shaky.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out: Cody Zeller, Larry Nance.
Interesting facts for betting
Atlanta players are quite confident in the current season at home. They have won 10 out of 17 matches on their home court. This is the eighth result in the Eastern Conference.
Probable line-up : Capela - Daniels, Young - Krejci, Richaser.
Houston Rockets
Current form
Aima Udoka managed to build a great team. This season Houston is showing good play and is in second place in the Western Conference standings. The Rockets have 25 wins. Only Oklahoma is performing better.
In the last match, Houston even beat Memphis (119:115). Let us recall that the Bears are considered the Rockets' main competitor in the fight for a place in the playoffs. This victory was very opportune.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out: Jabari Smith.
Interesting facts for betting
Alperen Sengan has become a real pillar of Houston defense. The Turkish center collected 14 rebounds in the last match, and before that the indicator was at the level of ten such actions. Without Sengan, it is difficult to imagine Aime Udoka team. In the next match, the representative of Turkey will try to stop Trae Young and company.
Probable lineup : Sengan-Green, VanVleet-Brooks, Thompson.

It is quite possible that the Rockets will take advantage of the Hawks' crisis and try to take the victory away from Atlanta. It is possible that they will succeed, because the Hawks are currently acting unconvincingly.
They recently lost to Denver and Memphis at home without much resistance. Another leader of the Western Conference may well repeat this. We suggest giving preference to the guests from Texas.
Our prediction is Houston with a handicap of (-2.5) points for 1.72
Bet on total
Atlanta has always paid a lot of attention to attack. The Hawks are not strong in defense, so their matches are productive. It is possible that the meeting with Houston will be played in a similar style.
