    Do the Bulls win big in Game 5?

    Line is once again set at 8.5. The Bulls have been overvalued all playoffs but I kinda feel like they will win going away in this one. Atlanta is much improved but ultimately they are a pretender. With Miami looking primed to end their series early, Chicago might feel a sense of urgency to not let this series go the distance. I don't know if i can go big on Chicago giving 8.5 but i think they are definitely the play in Game 5.

    Thoughts???

    Yes. Game 1 was a fluke. All 5 wins over ATL this year by DD+. Bulls dominated Game 5 vs. Indy. Lay em. Bulls win 101-86.

    I think so, but I am a diehard. Thibs has been great at getting the guys up for big response games like these.

    Ran a situational check from SportsDB...Since 2002 with teams tied 2-2 the team going home is 39-13 SU by an avg margin of 6pts. The ATS record is 25-27. What does this mean...well that's up to you to decide.

    I'll play around with some other angles and see if anything stands out.

    A little more detail...

    The team going home off a loss by >10 is 14-1 by an avg of 12 pts...the ATS is crap but the games were close and the margins were small. When you look at anything greater than -7 it gives you a 5-0 SU rec by avg of 16 and a 4-1 ATS record with an avg line of -10. Also the O/U is 4-1 with an average of 184...note that one of these games was a rout by 40 that could skew the averages a bit.

    Once again due to this being the playoffs they sample size is small but it at least gives you an idea of what could happen. I'd say that Chicago has a fairly good chance to win either way, but you won't find me playing the ML.

    Shut down D. Rose some how, or if he has another ok day, and ATL should cover the spread at least.

    The Bulls are quickly running out of time to really get rolling. The way they're playing right now, the Heat are going to absolutely crush them. I would rather sit the game out and/or potentially grab a live/2H line. Only game of the day, and the -8.5 should be a pass.

    I wouldn't lay the wood in this spot. Bulls aren't playing that well in the playoffs. I think they'll win but covering is another story. Pass!

    Game 4 so many things went wrong and they still almost won. Whitey Kyle Korver was 0 for 6 shooting wide open shots.... that phantom idavertant whistle was huge....
    And the bulls still had a chance to win.

    Bulls win this by 4-7 Pt...
    ATL Will try to win with everything they have, very very important game ..
    Loss in DD is not included in their game plane..

    ATL +9 = nice bet

    Better than Trust on Chicago to cover the line..

    hawks are great shotblockers - all - i say they find a way to keep someone back to block rose shots after he beats his man = as he ALWAYS does.

    dont think it is a good time to bet the bulls. think they win, but dont see value in the ML, and just too many points for what will be such a hard fought game.

    I agree with most of you on here that Bulls find a way to win. But a cover is 50-50. As a big Bulls fan just gonna watch.

    Last night I had MIA +6.5 and OKC +10.5 in a 3 game 8 pt teaser... Only thing I have left is ATL +16.5 to win

    It seems like the Hawks have games where they dont show up at ALL - Hopefully this isnt one of those games

    I'm not sitting here looking at stats, but from what I recall the Bulls won a bunch of close games this year and the same has continued in the playoffs. They don't seem like a team that blows others out.

    Hawks are most unpredictable team in NBA. I live in this town. I go to games---have not got a feel for them all year. Bracket broke just right for them---overated magic---banged up bulls.

    Bulls wins over ATL this year are by 18, 31, 13, 17. Seems to me the value is with ATL ML or Bulls -8.5.

    The Bulls had a bad shooting night game 4 and the Hawks played well above their actual talent level. I think the Bulls win this game by 10+. I've got 4 units on it.
