Houston Rockets vs. Atlanta Hawks preview

The Toyota Center is set for a fascinating cross-conference clash as the red-hot Rockets look to bounce back from their streak-snapping loss to Denver, while the Hawks aim to strengthen their grip on the Eastern Conference's seventh spot.

Trae Young's been lighting it up for Atlanta, dropping 28 points and 12 dimes in their last win, while the Hawks' offense has been on fire this March, putting up a whopping 123 points per game.

Houston's Alperen Sengun's recent triple-double (17-14-10) shows just how dangerous the big man's become, but the Rockets' league-worst free-throw shooting could come back to bite them in what's shaping up to be a close one.

The Hawks' defense has looked shaky lately - ranking 21st in defensive rating over their last 13 games - but their league-second-best steal rate might give Houston's offense some headaches.

These teams tend to produce nail-biters when they meet, with Atlanta covering in five of their last six head-to-heads, though Houston's recent nine-game tear proves they're no pushovers at home.

Keep an eye on Jalen Green, who's coming off a 30-point performance against Denver, while the Hawks will need to navigate without the injured Clint Capela and season-ending loss of Jalen Johnson.

The contrast in styles should make for compelling basketball - Houston's league-leading rebounding against Atlanta's high-octane offense and push-the-pace mentality.

With both teams ranking in the top eight in offensive rating, we're likely in for a high-scoring showdown at the Toyota Center.
