The Atlanta Hawks will travel to the United Center to face the Chicago Bulls in a matchup where both teams are in desperate need of win (8:00 p.m. ET). The Hawks are looking to add on to their 132-130 overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks. Atlanta has now won three of their last five games.

With a 39-39 record on the season and a 24-24 record in conference play, the Hawks are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta just has not been able to get carry their momentum after a win, as they are 5-5 in their last ten games. The Hawks desperately need to start stacking wins at they are currently in the Playoff play-in game. A bad thing though is that Atlanta has been bad on the road this season. They are 16-23 as the away team this season. Look to see if they can clinch a spot in the play-in game as the eighth seed.
The Atlanta Hawks have been led by Trae Young, who leads the team in points and assists. Young is averaging 26.2 points and 9.9 rebounds a game this season. His back court partner Dejounte Murray has been incredible this season averaging 20.6 points and 6.1 assists a game.

In their win against the Mavericks at home, Murray led the way with 24 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists. Young was right behind him with 24 points and 12 assists. John Collins had a monster game finishing with a double-double scoring 18 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. With 1.1 seconds left in overtime the game was tied 130-130 until Kyrie Irving tried to steal the ball from Young and got called for a reach in foul, which sent Young to the line where he made both free throws to win the game. In the win, the Hawks shot 47.2% from the floor and 34.3% from the three-point line.

They are trying to stack some wins on top of eachother and clinch a play-in game spot. Lucky for them they have been good at home as they are 21-18 in the United Center this season.

Hawks vs. Bulls Prediction
I love Zach LaVineover 27.5 points in this game. LaVine has been red-hot for the Bulls and has been playing great basketball. He has scored 20+ plus points in four of his last five games. Plus, two of those games have been 30+ point games. LaVine will have to score a lot too in this game too match the Hawks electric offense. LaVine over 27.5 points is the prop play in this game.
Hawks vs. Bulls Prop Pick: Zach LaVine Over 27.5 points (-113).
