Hawks vs Bulls Prediction
I’m not sure why the Hawks are favored, as they continue to pile up the losses, and they’re 5-7 SU at home. Sure, the Hawks have Young back in the mix, but who cares. The Hawks have been a subpar team even with him in the lineup, and they weren’t that competitive against the Hornets and Spurs. The Bulls have quietly won 3 of their last 4 games, and that includes back-to-back upsets over the Cavs. The underdog has covered 8 of the last 10 games between the Hawks and Bulls. I want the points in this spot.
