Atlanta Hawks Â
The Atlanta Hawks have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost four of their past six games overall, but they will be feeling better after outlasting the Suns in a 122-117 home win last night. Trae Young led the team with 43 points and five assists, Onyeka Okongwu added 22 points with 21 rebounds off the bench, while Garrison Matthews chipped in with 19 points. As a team, the Hawks shot 43 percent from the field and 17 of 41 from the 3-point line. The Hawks jumped all over the Suns from the tipoff and poured in 64 points in the first half to take control. The Hawks weren’t in control until the fourth quarter, where they went on a decisive 13-3 run to pull away in the end. The Hawks will face the Celtics following this one.
Chicago BullsÂ
Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in decent shape as they’ve won five of their past nine games overall. The Bulls will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Pelicans in a 119-113 loss last night. Zach LaVine led the team with 25 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, Nikola Vucevic tallied 22 points with 15 rebounds while Coby White chipped in with 22 points and four assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 44 percent from the field and 14 of 43 from the 3-point line. The Bulls got off to a solid start to take the lead into halftime, only to allow 66 points in the second half to allow the Pelicans off the hook in the end.Â

Atlanta Hawks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Jalen Johnson and De’Andre Hunter, while the Bulls are still missing Ayo Dosunmu and Torrey Craig. You couldn’t back either team with too much confidence as neither team has been able to go on any sustained run lately. The Hawks did look good in their win over the Suns last night, and I think they can carry that momentum into this one and escape with the win behind another big game from Young.Â
