Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Season record: 24-23
The Atlanta Hawks are having a decent but not incredible campaign, and are currently eighth in the Eastern Conference. With only one game away from sixth place, they know they have to keep winning if they want to fight for a direct ticket to the postseason and avoid the dreaded play-in.
That’s precisely what they have been doing lately, since Atlanta has won seven of its last ten games. Unfortunately, the last of those games cut short a five-match winning streak with a 112-118 loss to an easy opponent on paper. It was surprising because the Charlotte Hornets, who came back in the last quarter with a 37-25 run to turn things around, have also ended a Hawks streak of at least 121 points scored in three consecutive games. This record is normal for a team that is 10th in the highest average points scored per game at 115.9, though oddly they are second-to-last in average three-pointers made per game at 10.6.
Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Season record: 21-24
The Chicago Bulls are currently in possession of the last ticket to the playoffs, as they occupy the tenth position in the Eastern Conference. For this reason, they can’t afford to lose more games since the Toronto Raptors are only two games behind them,
The team will at least be in good shape, as it has done just that on recent nights with great performances. The Bulls won their last two games, the first against the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors (132-118), and the last one was against the Detroit Pistons in Paris, whom they defeated 126-108.
The offensive performances in this positive span are good news, since in the three games prior to this positive period the Bulls were unable to surpass 110 points, even scoring less than 100 in two of them.
JefeBet Prediction
The Bulls are in a state of grace offensively and will have a good opportunity to continue on that path as they face a Hawks team that has allowed at least 120 points in its last three games.
However, Chicago will also have to deal with an inspired Trae Young and an Atlanta team that generally always presents a threat on offense. In fact, the Hawks have won the last four games they played on the road, and will surely want to keep that streak alive by scoring plenty of points.
With both teams going for the win and taking into account those precedents, betting on the over does not look like a bad idea.
Prediction: Over
