This is a 10* play on the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks have won nine of their last 10 overall, and six straight at home. They host the Chicago Bulls tonight, and they catch the Bulls on the back end of a back to back. Derrick Rose played limited minutes in a win at Miami last night, and Joakim Noah did not play as he is suffering from a sprained ankle.

Pau Gasol played 36 minutes last night despite missing practice on Thursday with a chest injury, but he's always a question mark when playing on back to back nights.

The Hawks have been playing some pretty impressive defense during their home winning streak, limiting opponents to 85.8 points on 39.8 percent shooting -- including 28.8 from 3-point range.

The Bulls have won six straight in this series, but tonight's game appears to be a particularly tough spot. The Hawks have been hot, and the Bulls are playing on no rest without a few key players. It might not be wise for Chicago to push it with Rose logging heavy minutes, and it wouldn't make much sense to rush things with Noah either.

Take ATL.
