Chicago at Atlanta

The Chicago Bulls have had a lot of obstacles this season, two of which are playing no Derrick Rose, and Luol Deng on the floor. It took awhile, but the Bulls are 33-16 over their last 49 games. Once upon a time, Atlanta was one of three NBA Eastern Conference teams above .500, but this team has slipped in a big way and is now nine games under .500 and are fighting for their playoffs lives. The Hawks broke a six game losing streak, but how much stock can you put into a win over Philadelphia at this point of the season? The Hawks have not even been close to competitive vs. a winning team, and if you want a most revealing stat then consider the fact that Atlanta is 1-18 straight-up in their last 19 games vs. a winning team. Chicago comes away with the road win, so play the Bulls on the moneyline.
