              Chicago Bulls at Atlanta Hawks [ESPN | 8:00 PM ET]

              Bulls: After taking the NBA by storm with their recent 5 game SU winning streak, the Bulls have come back to earth by losing their past 2 games SU. It seems to be that type of season for the Bulls, where they are stuck in mediocrity. The Bulls are 23-24 SU on the season, yet surprisingly would make the playoffs as the #8 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are 9-16 SU and 12-13 ATS away from home this season. Today will mark the 9th game out of 10 that the Bulls will have played on the road. Chicago is a very profitable 16-13 ATS as the listed underdog for the entire season. The Bulls have played overtime games twice in their past 3 games. PG Derrick Rose leads the Bulls in both scoring and assists with 19.9 PPG and 5.9 APG respectively. Rose has averaged nearly 25 PPG over his past 6 games, raising his game to All Star status. For the season, the Bulls only average 95.4 PPG, the 4th lowest point total in the NBA.

              Bulls are 6-0 ATS last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
              Over is 5-0 last 5 vs. a team with a winning SU record.

              Key Injuries - C Jerome James (Achilles) is out.

              PROJECTED SCORE: 99

              Hawks (-7, O/U 197): Atlanta has lost 3 of their past 5 games SU, all on the road. Luckily for the Hawks, they are playing at home tonight, where they are 20-5 SU on the season. The Hawks are 31-17 SU on the season, placing them 4th in the Eastern Conference playoff chase. The Hawks are 17-8 ATS at home this season, and 12-6 ATS as a single digit home favorite this season. The Hawks have lost 3 consecutive games ATS heading into tonight's game. The Hawks had won 5 straight games against the Bulls before losing SU in overtime in their last meeting. The Hawks are 7th in the NBA in scoring at 102.2 PPG this season. G Joe Johnson leads the Hawks in scoring with 22 PPG, and he's been especially hot of late averaging nearly 26 PPG over his past 12 games. 4 other Hawks average double digits for the Hawks, including super sub G Jamal Crawford. Crawford averages 17.6 PPG off the bench for the Hawks.

              Hawks are 9-3 ATS last 12 games vs. a team with a losing SU record.
              Over is 6-0 last 6 vs. a team with a losing SU record.

              Key Injuries - None.

              PROJECTED SCORE: 104 (OVER - Total of the Day)



              Phoenix Suns at Sacramento Kings [10:00 PM ET]

              Suns (-3, O/U 220.5): Phoenix has won 4 straight games, with their prime time TV game against Dallas last week serving as a spark for this Suns team. The Suns are 30-21 SU on the season, and currently sit 6th in the Western Conference playoff chase. Despite their success this season, the Suns still struggle on the road. The Suns are 12-15 SU and 14-13 ATS on the road this season. Phoenix is 5-5 ATS as the listed road favorite this season. The Suns always get excited to face the Kings, as they've won 14 of the past 16 meetings SU. F Amar'e Stoudemire leads a group of 6 Suns averaging double digits in PTS. Despite strong trade rumors, Stoudemire has averaged 27 PPG and 13 RPG over his past 3 games. The Suns have scored more than 100 PTS in 22 of their past 23 games, and lead the NBA with 110 PPG this season. PG Steve Nash has averaged more than 30 PPG the past 4 times combined that he's faced off against the Kings.

              Suns are 4-0 ATS last 4 games overall.
              Over is 12-4 last 16 vs. Western Conference.

              Key Injuries - G Leandro Barbosa (wrist) is out.

              PROJECTED SCORE: 114 (Side of the Day)

              Kings: Certainly the Kings will be looking for revenge tonight, as they've lost both meetings this season to the Suns in close, hard fought games. 2010 hasn't been kind to Sacramento as they've lost 15 of their 17 games SU, with only 5 wins ATS for added measure. The Kings are 16-32 SU for the season, but they have performed well at home. The Kings are 13-11 SU and 11-12-1 ATS at home this season. Sacramento is 6-5-1 ATS as the listed favorite this season. However, the Kings haven't won a game ATS that they were favored in since December 12th of last year. This Kings offense is starting to wear down, as they've been held under 100 PTS in 6 of their last 8 games. 6 Kings players average double digits, with both Guards Kevin Martin and Tyreke Evans averaging more than 20 PPG. Martin is still out due to injury, but Evans has the inside track for Rookie of the Year. Evans averages 20.7 PPG, and a team high 5 APG this season.

              Kings are 2-8 ATS last 10 games as a home underdog.
              Under is 6-2 last 8 vs. Western Conference.

              Key Injuries - F Jason Thompson (personal) is doubtful.
              F Francisco Garcia (forearm) is out.

              PROJECTED SCORE: 104
