The legendary Chicago Bulls will look to take one step closer to a playoff spot this evening by defeating Trae Young’s Atlanta Hawks at the United Center in tonight’s NBA play-in tournament.

Hawks enter the game in poor form having lost their last four games, though the Bulls appear to have hit a steady run of form recently having won two of their three match-ups. They did lose their last game against an in-form New York Knicks, though they can take heart from the fact it took the Knicks until overtime to finally defeat them 120-119.

How does the NBA play in tournament work

The play-in tournament offers lower-seeded teams one more shot at partaking in the NBA playoffs.

The tournament begins with the seventh-placed team in each conference playing the eighth-placed team while the ninth-placed team plays the 10th-placed team. Just one game is played and the winner of the game will go on the take part in the playoffs later this month as the seventh seed.

The loser of the game between Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat earlier in the day will then face the winner of the game between the Bulls (ninth) vs Atlanta Hawks (10th) in order to decide the eighth seed from the Eastern Conference - the winner will then enter the playoffs.
