Chicago has one of the best road records (9-6) in the Eastern Conference. They've won their last three road games at San Antonio (139-124), Toronto (122-121), and Boston (117-108), the latter as a +14 underdog. The offense is seventh in the NBA in points scored, 11th in shooting, 13th from long range, and fifth from the free-throw line. Meanwhile, Atlanta is on a 3-4 SU, 2-5 ATS run. The offense is 18th from 3-point land and 16th from the line, while the defense is 27th in points given up and 29th at defending beyond the arc. They've failed to cover six of their last seven as a favorite. The Hawks have lost twice to the Bulls this season, 125-113 and 136-122, both times as a favorite. Play Chicago.

Premium Picks
Chicago at Atlanta
The NBA Eastern Conference has a pair of elite teams in Boston and Cleveland. The rest of the conference has 1 .500 team and 12 teams below .500. The Bulls and the Hawks are among those 12 teams. Unfortunately, the Hawks are off to a bad start, that has gotten worse as they are 2-6 in their last 8 games. The Hawks are playing no defense and in those last 8 games they are allowing 122ppg. Can't win games like that. The Bulls find themselves in a similar state as they are off 4 straight losses. The Bulls can score, and I'm sure they will vs. the Hawks, and when this team scores, they win. Make the play on Chicago.

Premium Picks
Atlanta at Chicago
Atlanta has been a moneyburner all season with a 29-53-0 ATS mark overall and 14-26 ATS on the road. The Hawks limp into the preseason with a current six-game losing streak and they are 1-7 ATS their past eight games. Atlanta is 15-37 ATS following a loss, 11-26 ATS against teams with losing records, and 3-8 ATS as an underdog of 0.5-4.5 points. Chicago is 9-4-1 ATS playing with two days rest and it won two of three of its final regular season games and covered the number in all of them, including a tough 120-119 overtime loss as a 13.5-point underdog against New York on Sunday. Trae Young's return from an injury hasn't helped the Hawks' chances much as they are 0-3 since he returned to the lineup. Take the Bulls as a Max Play.
