FINNs NBA EAST TOP of the TICKET I - Hawks at Bulls Total Over 238.5 (-108) over-under position in this early NBA Eastern Conference contest is good to 240 points
3% game rating
The return of the Atlanta big, the team's rim protector, has happened physically, but not spiritually. The Hawks' defense has been horrid in the last month, especially without Capela dressed and active. Hunter, the team's best wing defender is out tonight and if Atlanta is going to hang with a Bulls squad that is executing their offense like an elite Association roster to the tune of 118 points per 100 possessions, I expect them to give it their best college try, this game will exceed the oddsmakers closing total by the middle of the third quarter.
The offensive efficiency numbers that the Bulls have put together across the last month, 16 games, have found the Bulls with a eFG% of over 57 percent. When viewing the shot quality of the Bulls the decisions that the squad is making is pushing me to not only consider backing them on the side but nearly playing blindly to the over until the proper adjustments are made by the bookmakers and Chicago totals exceed 240 points.
Atlanta is healthy, for the most part, without their defensive stalwart Hunter, puts me in the chair of supporting a play Over the Total tonight in at the United Center.
