Terms & Conditions Bulls Wrap Up Road Trek
The Chicago Bulls are wrapping up a road trek in this one. Chicago is enjoying one of its best stretches of the season. They have won three straight games. This includes two straight games against the Cavaliers last week. The Bulls beat Cleveland by 16 points in the first meeting and recorded a 136-125 road win in the second clash on Friday. The success continued in a 152-150Â road win against the Hawks on Sunday. Chicago shot a stellar 58% in the victory. The Bulls are now 10th in the conference, 1.5 games out of eighth. The Bulls have covered the spread in three of their past five games.
Coby White missed the first 1.5 months of the season, and the Bulls have been a better team since his return last month. The 25-year-old did not play in the first meeting against the Hawks and scored 21 points on Sunday. White has delivered an average of 21.2 PPG. Josh Giddy has been a huge threat in most games, but has been inconsistent this month. The 23-year-old has netted an average of 20.1 PPG and 9.2 RPG.
Nikola Vucevic has reached 20 points in just two of his past five games. The veteran center is having another steady year, reporting 16 PPG and 9.2 RPG. Tre Jones scored 11 points against the Hawks on Sunday. The 25-year-old is averaging 12.5 PPG on the season. Kevin Huerter has scored double digits in three of his last five games. The veteran guard has issued an average of 12.3 PPG.
Chicago has been a threat on the road, where they have netted a 3-2 mark in their last five games. They covered the spread in three games in that span, including a win against the Hornets. Chicago is averaging 119.5 points on the year, rating them ninth. The Bulls are conceding an average of 123.1 points, pegging them 28th in the NBA.
Atlanta Eyes First in Division
The Atlanta Hawks continue a five-game home stand on Tuesday evening. Atlanta has been hovering near the .500 mark most of the season. The good news is Trae Young is back. The Hawks are in good shape in the standings. They are ninth in the conference but play in a subpar division and are just two games out of the top spot. The Hawks were charged with a road loss by the Hornets last week and a home defeat against the Spurs. Next, they host the Bulls in the first game of this set on Sunday and were exposed in the defensive end in the 152-150 defeat. The Hawks were tabbed 3.5-point favorites. Atlanta sank 52% of its shot attempts in the defeat. The Hawks have covered the spread in one of their past six games.
Jalen Johnson is capable of taking over a game. The young forward has reached 20 points in five games this month. Johnson has scored 25 and 36 points in two games against the Bulls this season and has registered an average of 23.8 PPG and 10.5 RPG on the season. Trae Young is back in action after missing last month and most of this month. The star point guard dropped 35 on Sunday and is averaging 19 PPG in seven games.
Nickeil Alexander Walker has sunk 22 or more points in three of his last five games. The 27-year-old guard has contributed with 20.3 PPG. Onyeka Okongwu was sharp on Sunday, scoring 23 points. He is averaging 15.9 PPG. Vit Krejci has reached double digits in two of his past five games. The 25-year-old has posted an average of 10.3 PPG.
Atlanta is 1-4 in its last five home dates, covering the spread in one of those games, including the 126-98 loss to the Spurs. Atlanta is posting an average of 118.8 points on the year, marking them 11th. The Hawks have yielded 126 or more points in three of their past five games. They are squandering an average of 119.5 points, placing them 25th in the NBA.
Bulls vs. Hawks PickSpread Pick for Bulls vs. Hawks Atlanta Hawks -5 (5 units)
The Chicago Bulls have been hit or miss this month. They have posted a 4-6 record in their past ten games. The Bulls have not been a team to back on the road, where they have managed just six wins in 15 games. The Atlanta Hawks have been shaky this month, but they did not have their star player, Trae Young, who is back in action.
Furthermore, Chicago’s top strength is the scoring, but the defense has been shaky. They shot 58% in the win on Sunday, but only won by two points. They won’t shoot 58% again. The Bulls have squandered an average of 125 points in their past five games. Atlanta is a threat from beyond the arc, shooting a sharp 37% on the season. This is key as the Bulls are pegged 23rd in the NBA in three-point defense. Atlanta connected with 23 three-pointers against the Bulls on Sunday.
Over/Under Pick for Bulls vs. Hawks
I expect a shootout. Chicago plays at a quick pace and scored 125 points in the first meeting, in which the over hit by five points, and posted a stunning 152 points on Sunday. The Hawks have surrendered an average of 135 points in their last five games.
In addition, Atlanta is posting big numbers. They have scored 126 or more points in five of their past seven games, including 126 points against the Hornets and 150 points on Sunday. These squads play at a quick pace. The Bulls are fifth in pace while the Hawks are sixth. These squads scored a staggering 302 points on Sunday, with the over cashing with ease. The over is a convincing 5-1 in the Hawks’ past games.
