Atlanta Hawks Form
Atlanta head to Chicago having seen their four-game win streak end on Monday, dropping them to 7-5.
The Hawks opened with back-to-back wins, only to then suffer three consecutive defeats to drop below .500.
They snapped that losing skid with a 114-111 win over Cleveland, and then answered a 121-99 defeat in New Orleans with a run of four straight wins.
Atlanta beat Indiana 108-104 and Washington 120-105 on the road, before returning home to down the Wizards, 139-132, and Brooklyn, 124-121.
The Hawks failed to make it five-in-a-row though, as they were beaten 124-114 by the Los Angeles Lakers at the start of the week.
Chicago Bulls Form
Chicago come into this matchup having lost eight straight games to fall to 1-9 this season, and to make matters worse rookie star Caleb Wilson is now sidelined with injury.
The Bulls opened with a 135-92 blowout loss in Toronto, but rebounded with a 132-125 come-from-behind win in Milwaukee.
They failed to follow that up though, as a 124-120 defeat to Washington proved to be the start of an eight-game skid.
Chicago sandwiched a 133-127 home defeat to New York with 134-99 and 125-111 losses in Boston, and then lost 126-107 in Philadelphia.
The Bulls’ slump continued with a 135-104 blowout loss in New York, and reached eight games at home as they fell 127-121 to Philadelphia and 124-119 to San Antonio.
Verdict
Chicago continue to lose games, but they have at least shown some signs of life in the last couple of outings, covering against two contenders.
Atlanta, on the other hand, have been a terrible spread bet this season, so we are leaning towards the Bulls with the points.
