Atlanta released their 2025 preseason schedule on Monday afternoon. Along with facing the Heat and Grizzlies, the Atlanta Hawks will take on the Houston Rockets twice, once at the beginning of preseason and once more at the end.
The schedule makers knew what they were doing with this one. These teams will only suit up against each other twice during the regular season, but this is a matchup that will bring in viewers no matter what. The amount of people tuning in will be even larger this year because of one simple trait both organizations share: front office competence.
