The Houston Rockets faced the Atlanta Hawks in the final game of last season. Houston looks much different these days, while the Hawks, currently sitting at 13-13, bring back the core of their Eastern Conference Finals appearance earlier this year.
Houston is coming off a pair of losses to Milwaukee and Memphis. They are missing Jalen Green, Kevin Porter Jr., and Danuel House Jr. Eric Gordon has also been day-to-day with a groin issue. We’ll see if the Rockets get some of those pieces back.
Atlanta is missing De’Andre Hunter and Bogdan Bogdanovic.
