Atlanta Hawks @ Houston Rockets -4.5
PLAY: 3* Houston Rockets -4.5
The Toyota Center will be the site of tonight’s matchup between the host Houston Rockets and the visiting Hawks from Atlanta. The Hawks are in the midst of a four-game road trip which includes visits to the teams that make up the Texas Triangle. The Rockets return home after a trip to Memphis last night where they lost 109 to 97 as 6.5 point road favorites.
The Hawks began their four-game road swing with a loss at Dallas on Saturday losing 100 to 98. Atlanta covered the 6.5 point spread as a road underdog and has cashed their last three on the road overall. Prior to recent ATS success they had failed to cover in their previous seven games.
The Rockets swept the season series from Atlanta last year, winning 108 to 89 as a 9.5 point home favorite and 83 to 75 as a 4.5 point road favorite. The last win ended an eight-game straight up winning streak and a seven-game ATS run by the home team in this series, with the Hawks going 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to Houston. The SU winner is 8-0 ATS in the last eight head-to-head meetings and the favorite is 6-1 ATS in the past seven.
The Rockets have responded well after suffering a loss they are 42-27-1 ATS. The Rockets are 56-41-1 ATS after playing on the road and 14-7 ATS if their current game has a line range of 4 to 5.5 points. Houston is 23-8-1 ATS when facing Southeast Division opponents. The Hawks are 41-58-1 ATS on the road and 36-50 ATS if they are installed as an underdog on the highway. The Hawks struggle after covering the spread in their previous game posting a record of 18-30-1 ATS in that situation. The Hawks are 10-22 ATS their last 32 on the highway when facing a team that has a home record of .600 or better. Atlanta is 8-20 ATS on the road after 1 or more consecutive losses the last 2 seasons.
Data base research has uncovered two powerful technical systems that back our position on the Rockets tonight. Play AGAINST NBA teams off a road ATS win where the team lost straight up as an underdog versus an opponent off an upset loss of ten or more points as a road favorite, 28-7 ATS since 1996. Play AGAINST NBA underdogs off an ATS win where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog, with the current game involving teams with a win percentage of 60% to 75%, 40-8 ATS since 1996.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (3*) Houston Rockets 94 Atlanta Hawks 85
