Given their home-court losing streak and large COVID-19 problem, the Hawks are becoming an auto-fade.

Atlanta has lost seven in a row at home. The Hawks are 0-8 ATS in their past eight home games.

Chicago has COVID issues, too, but nothing as bad as the Hawks. The latest key Hawks player going into COVID protocol is John Collins. He joins Trae Young, Danilo Gallinari, Kevin Huerter, Lou Williams and six other players.

Missing all those players, the Hawks are having trouble competing. They lost, 101-87, to the Knicks on Christmas in their last game. That was their lowest scoring game of the season. Young and Collins are Atlanta's two best players.

The Bulls are one of the most improved teams in the league going 20-10. They are on a 3-game win streak. Chicago is 6-2 ATS as a road favorite.
