The Houston Rockets' postponed road game against the Atlanta Hawks has been rescheduled to Jan. 28, the NBA announced Wednesday. The new game date slots into the Rockets' schedule between a Jan. 27 game in Boston and a Jan. 30 game in Memphis, and extends Houston’s road trip from three games to four games including a Jan. 25 game in Cleveland.

Jan. 28 is the rescheduled date for last week’s postponed Rockets-Hawks game in Atlanta. Both teams will be on night two of a back-to-back.

The Rockets have won four in a row most recently knocking off the Grizzlies Monday Night at home. Jalen Green led Houston with a career-high 42 points. Denver has also won four straight. Last night the Nuggets routed the Mavericks in Dallas, 118-99. Jamal Murray had his biggest game of the season pouring in 45 points for the Nuggets.

Wednesday’s meeting between the Rockets and Nuggets (+1.5) is the first between the longtime Western Conference foes since four matchups in late 2023.
