The Atlanta Hawks will likely suffer a drop-off in plays today from squaring off against the most lethargic pace offense in the league over the last 5 games (the Houston Rockets).

Over the last 10 games when they are the visiting squad, the opposition's starting PGs have attempted 1.7 foul shots per game (lowest in the league) against the Houston Rockets, struggling to draw fouls.
