Chicago at Atlanta

The Chicago Bulls have excelled on the defensive end of the court the past few seasons. They have had to overcome the loss of Derrick Rose, which has impeded their offense, so they have compensated with an even greater intensity on the defensive end. That new-found defensive intensity keeps them in every game. They have the advantage of getting stops down the stretch, controlling tempo and always have a chance to grab the win. Atlanta has suffered off-season losses that has changed their offense, and getting wrapped up in a slow tempo game is not something they are immune to. The Bulls don't often allow 100 points, but when they do, their next game has seen them bear down to go 33-16-1 ATS in their last 50. Overall they are 35-17 to the UNDER in their last 52, and five of the last six vs. the Hawks have gone UNDER the total. This is a good spot for a road win, so play Chicago on the moneyline, and take the UNDER.
