Randy’s Pick
The Atlanta Hawks are still the worst covering team in the NBA, so we should be treading lightly. However, there’s no doubt the Hawks are playing their best ball of the season, and they’re quickly finding themselves in the thick of the playoff race. The Chicago Bulls are an inconsistent bunch, and you’re just never sure which team is going to show up. I don’t trust the Bulls, especially on the road. The Hawks are hot right now, and they’re led by swaggy players who thrive off confidence. This run could continue for a bit. I’ll lay the points with the Hawks.
