The matchup against the Houston Rockets is a challenging one; they have given up the least points per game in the league to the opposing team's starting SGs over the last 20 games (12.6).The Hawks will likely experience a decrease in possessions in this game from sharing the court with the slowest pace road offense in the league this year (the Houston Rockets).Offensive rebounds lengthen possession and spark further chances for scoring and assists, but the Hawks grade out 6thworst in in the NBA with just 9.9 offensive rebounds per game this year.Over the last 5 games when they are on their home court, the other team's starting SGs have attempted 1.0 free throws per game (4th-fewest in the NBA) against the Rockets, facing an uphill battle to get to the foul line.
