The Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls have been consistently hovering around the Play-In Tournament picture this season, which is not too unlike how the last few seasons have gone for these two teams. While the Eastern Conference can be more forgiving at times than the West, neither Atlanta nor Chicago have been able to establish themselves as contenders in recent years.

The mediocrity of these two teams is despite having some talented players on both rosters. For Atlanta, it is led by star point guard Trae Young. The Bulls also have some talent with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic each being two-time NBA All-Stars.

Atlanta and Chicago have released their injury reports for Wednesday night’s matchup at United Center, and there are several players listed.
