The Bulls and Hawks will attempt to keep their playoff hopes alive in the No. 9 vs. No. 10 matchup of the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament.
Chicago is looking to bounce back after dropping three of its last five games, ending the 2023-24 regular season with a 39-43 record. On Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, the Bulls lost to the Knicks in overtime despite strong offensive performances from DeMar DeRozan (30 points), Nikola Vucevic (29 points) and Coby White (26 points).
Atlanta is in the midst of an April swoon, too. The Hawks have lost six games in a row, most recently falling to the Pacers in a 157-115 blowout. They own the worst record (36-46) of any team that qualified for the Play-In Tournament.
