This line has flipped in which the Hawks were favored originally. Atlanta has struggled with defense and have not been able to cover the majority of their games, let alone break .500. This team is 7-22 ATS this season and worse on the road where they have not had success against the Bulls in their last eight games against each other. This is a travel spot for Hawks during the holidays and if favors the Bulls who are rested and at home and off of having won four out of their last five games before their bad beat by Cleveland the other night while at home. This is a great bounce back spot for them as they do play the better defense and have the edge in this series as they are 5-2 ATS versus Atlanta in their last seven games. Atlanta is 2-14 ATS after failing to cover 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread this season. This will be a close tight game so the value is in playing the Bulls on the moneyline.
