However, the Hawks face formidable challenge against the Houston Rockets (46-26) who, despite their recent loss to Denver, are in contention for the No 2 seed in the Western Conference. With only 10 games left in the regular season, every win counts.

Houston Rockets aim to bounce back at home

The Houston Rockets, who were on a nine-game winning streak, fell to the Nuggets. Despite their setback, they have been dominant at home. They boasted a 26-11 record at the Toyota Centre, the media reports stated.


The Denver Nuggets, on the other hand, now only are a game behind them in the standings. Houston, in this case, will be eager to regain momentum before heading on a three-game road trip.

NBA Season 2024-2025 Atlanta Hawks vs Houston Rockets: Prop bets to watch

According to the reports, one of the best prop bets for the Hawks is Trae Young, who has recorded over 9.5 assists (-120). Despite going up against a solid defensive team, Young has been a terrific player. He has averaged 11.4 assists per game this season and 11.3 in March. He has a strong chance of surpassing the mark, it added.

Meanwhile, the Rockets’ Amen Thompson is a solid bet to grab over 8.5 rebounds (-140). He has, reportedly, recorded at least nine rebounds in 11 of his last 12 outings and with Atlanta’s tendency to give up rebounds—Thompson is well-positioned to extend his streak.
