Hawks at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Hawks 119, Bulls 110
Moneyline
BET HAWKS (-105).
Atlanta will be motivated to bounce back after a bad loss vs. a bottom-2 team in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks had won 5 straight before losing as 7.5-point favorites Saturday and should be focused Monday in Chicago. In the last meeting on Dec. 21, the Bulls covered as 5-point underdogs with a 110-108 win at Atlanta on a buzzer beater by G Ayo Dosunmu.
Against the spread
PASS.
There is no need to buy the extra 1.5 points on Atlanta when the Hawks should win straight up. Bet the moneyline or total instead.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 239.5 (-106).
The Hawks are good at bouncing back defensively as the Under is 4-0 in Atlanta’s last 4 games after failing to cover the spread in its previous contest. The Under is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings between these 2 teams in Chicago and Monday’s matchup should be another low-scoring affair.
