Night two of the play-in tournament features the nightcap of the 10th-seeded Atlanta Hawks versus the ninth-seeded Chicago Bulls. The winner of this match will move on to face the loser of the Heat – 76ers match.
Season Series
This year the Bulls won the season series 2-1 while last season, the squads played four times with each team winning two contests. The Bulls hold the advantage all-time having won 139 times of the club’s 259 meetings.
The teams have met five times in the postseason although it’s been a minute as the last time they played was in 2011. Chicago has won the last three of those series.
Atlanta Hawks
Every franchise reaches a point where they have to make decisions and the Hawks will be back in that familiar position again this offseason. Just two seasons ago the Hawks’ brain trust pushed in their chips to add Dejounte Murray to the roster believing his presence in the backcourt with Trae Young would propel them up the ladder.
Instead, the duo has never clicked and now it’s likely one will exit this summer although few teams are open to eating up Murray’s pending contract so it might be the franchise cornerstone Young who is the more logical trade chip (with the Spurs and Lakers both licking their lips at that proposition).
Hawks Stats
This season the Hawks rank 12th offensively (116.4), and 27th defensively (118.4) while possessing the 21st-ranked net differential of minus -2.0.
Atlanta was one of the worst bets against-the-spread bets this season with a 29-53 record through 82 matches.
Hawks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Saddiq Bey, SF (OUT for season— knee)
- Onyeka Okongwu, PF (OUT indefinitely— toe)
- Jalen Johnson, SF (OUT indefinitely— ankle)
Chicago Bulls
Like their opponent, this offseason has copious questions to be answered as this club has suffered primarily by the absence of Lonzo Ball.
When Ball was healthy the big 3 of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic made sense because Alex Caruso and Ball flanked them providing playmaking and stellar defense.
But with Ball being out injured the past two seasons the club has regressed to a middling play-in squad. The big question is whether the front office will once again exercise patience in the hopes Lonzo’s return will equate to winning.
Bulls Stats
The Bulls rank 22nd both offensively (114.0), and defensively (115.7) with a minus -1.7 net differential that ranks 20th overall.
Chicago performed in the middle ground against the spread this season with a 41-40-1 record through 82 games.
Bulls Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Zach LaVine, SG (OUT for season —ankle)
- Julian Phillips, SF (OUT indefinitely—foot)
- Patrick Williams, SF (OUT for season — foot)
- Lonzo Ball, PG (OUT for season—knee)

Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Chicago Bulls NBA Prediction:
Considering neither of these clubs would be remotely close to this position if they played in the West they should be thanking their lucky stars they play in the East.
Still, it’s hard to envision either team being around for more than one more game since the Heat and 76ers are both superior teams.
As for this match, look for Diar DeRozan to have her lungs ready as she attempts to be the x-factor two seasons in a row. Notably, in 2023 her shrieking caused the Raptors to miss half their free throws (18-36) in a match that was won by four points!
Plus, her father will be primed to make up for his missed shot in the final regular season game — something he rarely does in clutch time.
