Gosh, I want to pull the trigger on the Bulls ... They've already lost to the Hawks twice and Atlanta is not the same team on the road ... Could be a letdown game for the Hawks ... I don't know, I would either take the ML or buy some points ... Regardless, the Bulls let me down last week and they are still in timeout according to me ... Atleast it's only down to 3 NBA games now ...

Yes, I know ALT is a  bad road team, but +4.5 is a lot to a Chi team? Can someone explain

Neither of these teams has even tried to play defense in the first two matchups.  Even when the Hawks had a healthy squad they didn't stop the Bulls and the Bulls don't play defense period.

Like the over right now.

Al, Marvin, & Acie are out for Atlanta (Acie not a big factor in my opinion)...
 
I think that total is way to high
 
Looked at the last 3 for both teams and see a total of about 191 or so....
 
I like the Under but won't pick a side in this one...
 
96-94

after contemplating, i'm going with Chitown and the Under, Atlanta's lack of depth and poor road play won't take this one, Chicago is healthy with Hinrich back and Gooden / Tyrus / Noah all stepping up their game, a much needed home win.  Final around 98-92 chicago

are Horton and Williams 100% to miss this game?  no possibility at all they will play?
 
if either was gonna play Atl (+4.5) would be a gift... without them it's probably 50/50 either way, and not worth playing...

Hawks are 20-5 when holding opponents under 100.

If you are taking Chicago, take the Over.

I sense a over and CHI town win here with points.

Chi Town healthy and ATL injury riddled = Strong offensive effort by Chi Town and weak D by ATL - High Scoring for sure

OU lines seems very high at 199.  Usually, I would take the under, but both are playing B2B games.  And Chicago playing 3 in 4 nights.  Tired players don't play D, especially in the 2nd half. 
 
OVER 1st Half,
if it doesn't hit,
Chase OVER 2nd half

Despite 2 losses, Chicago is playing hard the last week and have been a solid home team.  Derrick Rose will make Bibby look like he is wearing cement shoes.  Atlanta is hitting the dog days of January and after a win last night, are going to have their guard down tonight.  Public betting is 50-50, even with the heavy line movement.  Medium play on Chicago for me tonight.
