The Hawks, having won their last eleven games, are currently the most dominant team in the NBA. They'll be looking for their twelfth straight on Friday against the Rockets at the Toyota Center. They're also feeling confident, since many of those wins were by comfortable margins, and they covered the spread in nine of their last ten games.
Undoubtedly, part of this success, and Atlanta's rise in the standings to a 38-31 record, is due to the astute moves their management made in trading and acquiring players. Landale, Kispert, and McCollum didn't start the season with the Hawks; they arrived later, but they've commendably adjusted to their teammates. It continues to be a fantastic season for Jalen Johnson, who is shaping up to be the team's new star going forward, but he's well supported by Alexander-Walker, Okongwu, and Daniels.
The Rockets are no longer as high in the standings; they're currently in fifth place. Houston failed to win two consecutive games in March and is coming off two straight losses against the Lakers in Los Angeles. Their offense, known for its clutch play in key moments, hasn't been sharp lately in the fourth quarter; they lost their last two games against the Lakers there, after both were close going into the final 12 minutes.
