Hawks vs Bulls prediction
The Hawks have the rest advantage, but they've been hit or miss all year, and they remain the worst cover team in the NBA with a 27-47 ATS record. The Bulls are coming off a massive road upset over the Timberwolves last night and now have a chance to create more distance between the Hawks for likely the ninth seed in the East. The Bulls have won 4 of the last 5 games against the Hawks. I don't love the Bulls in the favorite role, but this seems like a fine spot to back them against a Hawks team that doesn't make anyone money.
