Hawks vs Bulls Prediction

I’m not sure what the Hawks have done to be favored, but I’m not buying it. The Hawks have lost 7 of their last 9 games overall, and they have 8 losses at home. The Bulls just beat the Hawks on Sunday and have won 7 of the last 10 games against them overall. The Bulls are enjoying a strong week and are playing the better basketball. The Bulls are also the healthier team, as the Hawks won’t have Porzingis or Daniels for this one. This line makes no sense. Give me the Bulls and the points in a game they could win outright.
