Atlanta tends to play better at home, but are the Hawks up for the challenge defensively against the up-tempo Rockets offense. There is a decent chance that Atlanta overlooked Washington last night to prepare for this game. If Atlanta controls the glass, the Hawks could win at home. Otherwise, Houston is more than capable of scorching Atlanta from beyond the arc.
