Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 23, 2025

Chicago's three-point road trip to Atlanta marked a sharp departure from their recent head-to-head pattern. The teams had split two earlier meetings this season with dramatically different scoring profiles: a 302-point explosion in December and a tighter 251-point total in October. This matchup landed firmly in the latter camp, finishing at 249 combined points—well below the 254.5 market line—as both offenses cooled considerably in the fourth quarter.

The third quarter proved decisive. After a sluggish first half that combined for just 123 points, the pace picked up markedly in Q3, when the teams combined for 74 points to seize control of the game's trajectory. That surge wasn't sustained: the fourth quarter yielded only 52 combined points, a 22-point swing from Q3 that ultimately defined the Under. Coby White led Chicago with 24 points and 4 assists, while Nikola Vučević added 21 points and 10 rebounds. Josh Giddey contributed 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 15 assists in a well-rounded effort. Atlanta's Jalen Johnson (24 pts, 9 reb, 10 ast) and Trae Young (22 pts, 15 ast) kept pace offensively, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker chipping in 21 points. DAGGER leaned Under, and it cashed. The Bulls won 126–123, a result that reflected the offensive limitations both teams faced relative to season averages—Chicago's per-game output dropping below their 116.8 recent norm, and Atlanta's falling short of their 120.5 mark.
