Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/23/25

This will be the second straight meeting between the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks, with the first not disappointing in terms of point output. The teams combined for a staggering 302 points in regulation and conditions look set for this to be an incredibly high scoring contest too. The Hawks have confirmed that Dyson Daniels will miss the second of these contests which strips the hosts of their best perimeter defender. With Trae Young back in the fold, look for the Bulls guards to see very little resistance at the point of attack. With the Bulls being 27th this season in opponent points in the paint, the hosts should have easy ways to get their buckets too.

One thing that will ensure this will be another high scoring encounter is the tempo the game will be played at. Over the last 10 games these sides have ranked 2nd and 7th in the NBA in pace. It helped ensure the teams took 92 and 98 field goal attempts, respectively — marks that would rank them in the top 5 of the league in terms of field goal attempts per game. With the teams 25th and 27th in defensive rating during that time, neither looks set to put up much resistance. The line is high, but these teams have shown that they are more than capable of making easy work of it.
