The Chicago Bulls are putting together a nice week and have been kind to bettors in the underdog role all season, but they’re on the end of a back to back and going up against a young, athletic Hawks squad. The Atlanta Hawks are also winning their last five games by an average of 6.4 points while shooting 48.8 percent from the field. The Bulls have been covering machines on the road, but we’re not being asked to lay much. Give me the Hawks and the small chalk.
