LiontipsAtlanta vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Atlanta have lost Trae Young. Without their leader Hawks are looking terrible. They are losing many games and are not scoring many points. For example, in the most recent match against the Knicks they scored less than 90 points. They have suffered a 87:101 defeat.
After the recent defeats Nate McMillan's men dropped to the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference. If they will be able to keep that position, they will play in the play-in. But it will be hard to save that spot. Atlanta players are too inconsistent now.
Chicago lost a number of players, but it didn't affect their performance. DeMar DeRozan has returned to the line-up. Nikola Vucevic and Lonzo Ball are also available to play. These players helped the Bulls to get back on track. Even Zach LaVine's absence didn't affect the team.
Billy Donovan's men recorded three victories in recent matches. They managed to beat the Lakers (115:110), Houston (133:118) and Indiana (113:105). After these successful matches Bulls are at the 2nd spot in the Eastern Conference.

Tip and bets
After previous matches it became clear that Atlanta is unable to compete without Young. Without their leader, it will be extremely difficult for the Hawks to beat Chicago. We are not expecting a sensation from McMillan's lads.
Our prediction - Chicago to win with a handicap (-4,5) points
Atlanta can't score more than 100 points without Young. We don't think that they will put up a better performance this time. Chicago has a great defense, so we are not expecting a high-scoring game.
Our second bet is on total under 212,5 points
