The Atlanta Hawks will travel to the United Center to face the Chicago Bulls in the NBA on Saturday morning. The Bulls (6-10) are 12th in the Eastern Conference, while the Hawks (7-9) are sixth in the conference standings. Check out our match prediction below. 

After a bright start to the season, the Chicago Bulls have begun to cool off and lost their 10th game of the season on Thursday 122-106 to the Milwaukee Bucks on the road. 

Zach LaVine led the team with 27 points, but they allowed their opponents to score 69 points in the first half alone and were playing uphill for the entire match. 

The Bulls are a top-10 side on offence, scoring 115.4 PPG on average this season, but they are second-bottom on defence, allowing 122.9 points per outing. 

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been solid over the opening phase of the season but they proved no match for the Warriors in midweek when they suffered a 120-97 road loss. 

It was an all-round poor performance by Atlanta, as they only managed to shoot 33% from the field while making just 12 of their 45 attempts from beyond the arc. 

The Hawks are scoring 0.5 points fewer than the Bulls on average this season, but they are allowing 3.3 fewer points than Chicago per game.
