Houston's hot streak

The Rockets' recent nine-game win streak was a tad fraudulent given every victory came against teams with losing records. Following a loss to a Nuggets team playing without Nikola Jokic on Sunday, Houston draws another sub-.500 squad in the 35-36 Hawks.  Ime Udoka's club is 27-8 against teams with losing records this season.

Still, it's hard to quibble with a young Rockets team that's currently holding down the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference. Jalen Green, the team's leading scorer (21.3 PPG), has exceeded 23 points in seven of his last eight contests. Alperen Sengun also recorded his 4th triple-double of the season (17 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists) in the defeat to Denver.

Hawks heating up?

Trae Young scored 28 points with 12 assists in Atlanta's 132-119 win over the 76ers on Sunday. The 26-year-old point guard has shot 50% or better in four straight contests after only doing so in eight of his first 62 games.

Winners of seven of their last nine, the Hawks have scored 130.4 points per 100 possessions over their three-game winning streak - that's their best stretch of offense this year.

One game within .500 for the first time since late January, Quin Snyder's club plays seven of their final 11 games on the road, starting on Tuesday in Houston.
