1 Unit - Houston Under 185
Houston is really struggling to get good shots right now. They havent seemed to find a groove with all the changes to the line-up that they have gone under. Also, Atlanta logged some pretty heavy minutes last night with their starters before taking a long trip down to Atlanta for tonights game. The Rockets will be happy to try and use their size advantage which means that possessions on their side of the ball might go a little longer than usual. I also expect the Hawks legs to get tired in the second half, and that should hurt their already mediocore outside game. This game to me seems like one of those where both teams really cant get much going on offense and try to win the game on the defensive side of the ball. Im sure Houston got a talking to after their dismal performance last night, but I only see that translating on the defensive end. Normally with tired legs, I would expect defense to fall off, but with the offensive struggles the Rockets have had as of late, I just see this one as a struggle. The Hawks have gone over 200 in 3 of their last 4 games, but I tihnk those numbers arnt a true reflection because they were playing up-tempo opposition. After being off for a couple days and logging 45+, I think the Hawks are pretty sore this morning. This one should be a dogfight settled in the 80s.
