Who’s Playing
Houston @ Atlanta
What to Know
The Atlanta Hawks and the Houston Rockets are even-steven against one another since December of 2015 (7-7), but not for long. They will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET October 19th at State Farm Arena to kick off their 2022 seasons. The Hawks were on the positive side of .500 (43-39) last season and are hoping to kick off an even more successful year. Meanwhile, returning after a rocky 20-62 season, Houston is aiming to prove that the past does not define them.
Atlanta has the odds in their favor, so they’ll need to guard against complacency. A win is hardly a sure thing, especially this early in the season, so expect a good game.
