Chicago Bulls
USACurrent form
The Bulls are currently holding the tenth place in the Eastern Conference, but Philadelphia is actively catching up. The team has started losing more often, meaning the game is not going well right now.
In recent games, Chicago has failed to show anything against top opponents. The club lost to Boston (98:123) and Milwaukee (91:112). Billy Donovan charges understand that a third defeat in a row could cost them a place in the playoff zone. Now the Bulls have a tough trip to Atlanta, where they will have to give their best.

1.70Tip and bets
Atlanta did everything possible to avoid prolonging the losing streak. The team managed to regain confidence in the last home game, which allows them to enter the next game as favorites.
For Chicago, a loss in this match could be critical, as it could push them out of the top ten. The visitors understand the importance of the fight and will try to put up maximum resistance. In our opinion, the Hawks will retain their advantage thanks to the support of their home crowd, but the visitors will show character.
Our prediction is a Chicago victory with a handicap of (+7.5) points for 1.78
Bet on total
Atlanta often relies on open play and attacks from the first minutes. At the same time, Chicago prefers to play defensively and slow down the tempo. The visitors will probably focus on neutralizing Trae Young, which will make the game less productive. The total will most likely not be broken.
Forecast - total under 244 points for 1.76
Bet on statistics
Despite the recent victory, the Hawks have not demonstrated a stable game yet. The team is just getting into shape, and against the defense of Chicago, it will be difficult for the hosts to beat the individual total.
