Atlanta Hawks vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

Jalen Johnson has been steady with his rebounds, but he's going up against the Houston Rockets tonight. The Rockets let opponents grab the same number of rebounds as the Hawks do, but they also have players who can really box out and limit second chances. Johnson averages just under 9.2 rebounds at home, and with the Rockets' defense, he might find it tough to reach double digits. Also, keep in mind the Hawks give up a lot of rebounds, which means they're not always the best team to rely on for extra chances. There's a real chance he'll struggle to hit over 9.5 rebounds here given how close both teams are in grabbing boards. This bet has a good chance based on the numbers, but it's not a sure thing.

Atlanta Hawks vs Houston Rockets: Onyeka Okongwu Under 1.5 3-Pointers (-111)

Onyeka Okongwu has been playing well, but he's not known for hitting a ton of threes. The Atlanta Hawks allow a decent number of three-point attempts, yet they also keep opponents from making too many. Since 2018, they've let rivals shoot 35.2 threes per game, which is about average for the league. The real risk here is how close the two teams are in terms of rebounding, with Atlanta allowing 44.6 boards per game and Houston at 44.2. If the game gets physical, it might limit Okongwu's chances to score from deep. Given his recent performances and the matchup, betting on him to make under 1.5 threes looks like a solid choice.

Atlanta Hawks vs Houston Rockets: Dyson Daniels Under 6.5 Rebounds (-135)

Dyson Daniels has been solid but not quite a rebounding powerhouse when playing away. He averages only about 6.7 rebounds in those games, which is below the line for today's pick. The Atlanta Hawks are also known to give up quite a few rebounds, but Daniels' numbers suggest he might struggle to hit that 6.5 mark. The matchup against the Hawks is tricky because they force turnovers, which can lead to fast-break opportunities instead of rebounds. So, while the Hawks allow plenty of boards, Daniels may not be in the right position to grab them. This makes the under on 6.5 rebounds a smart play for today.
