The seventh-place Atlanta Hawks take on the ninth-placed Chicago Bulls for this Eastern Conference clash in the NBA. The Hawks come into this one with a record of 15 wins and 15 losses while the Bulls are a few games behind at 13-17. Here’s our prediction for the match.

Atlanta has cooled down since winning six straight games at the beginning of the month. They’ve since managed just their second victory from their last six games following a 117-104 home win over the Timberwolves on Monday.

Trae Young dropped 29 in that win while Garrison Matthews added a career-high 25 from the bench after sinking seven three-pointers. This is the third in a four-game homestand for Atlanta who will look to give themselves a buffer above .500 in the next two before hitting the road.

The Bulls will be hoping to return to winning ways after a recent three-game winning run was halted. Chicago lost to the Celtics before falling 112-91 on their home court to the Bucks on Monday to make it two straight losses.

They might feel better about getting out of the Windy City as the Bulls are just 4-11 at home this season compared to 9-6 on the road. The away team has won their last three straight on the road and their last trip was a win over Boston.
