Jalen Johnson has been called for 2.6 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.0 more than he's been called for over the course of the season.The Bulls have played at the 3rd-most sluggish pace-of-play in the league over the last 20 games, which should decrease possessions for the Hawks.With the home court advantage, the Bulls have allowed the 5th-most offensive rebounds per game (12.0) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore create additional chances for scoring and assists).As a team, the Atlanta Hawks have been bad at getting to the free throw line: 9th-worst in the NBA this year, totaling a lowly 22.4 foul shots per game.This matchup may be a good one for getting to the foul line; when the Bulls are on their home court, opposing teams have attempted a massive 24.6 free throws per game over the last 5 games (7th-most in the NBA).
