Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have lost two of their first three games of the season, and they will be eager to bounce back after getting routed by the Thunder in a 117-100 home defeat on Saturday. Nickel Alexander-Walker led the team with 17 points on six of 10 shooting, Trae Young added 15 points with 10 assists, Vit Krejci added 13 points off the bench while Onyeka Okongwu tallied 11 points with 12 rebounds and four assists.
As a team, the Hawks shot just 41 percent from the field and 16 of 39 from the 3-point line, which was good enough to stay within striking distance of the Thunder until the third quarter. They got outscored by 39-25 to trail by as many as 24 points at one stage. The Hawks had no answers for the Thunder’s duo of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, who combined to torch them for 61 points.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have hit the ground running this season as they are now gunning for a third straight victory after making light work of the Magic in a 110-98 road win on Saturday night. Josh Giddey led the team with 21 points, eight rebounds, and three assists on seven of 18 shooting. Jalen Smith provided the spark off the bench with 16 points in just 17 minutes of action. Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu each scored 15 points, while Tre Jones chipped in with 13 points, eight assists, and five steals.
As a team, the Bulls shot 47 percent from the field and 10 of 27 from the 3-point line as they traded shots with the Magic in a close contest. Until the fourth quarter, where they used a crucial 10-2 run to start to pull away from the cold-shooting Magic squad.

Atlanta Hawks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction
The Hawks could be severely shorthanded for this contest, with Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, and Kristaps Porzingis all listed as questionable. The Bulls are already missing Coby White, and they are keeping eyes on Josh Giddey, who is questionable with a finger injury. This is another one of those games where you should check the lineups before tipoff with both teams having key players listed as questionable.
The Hawks are getting desperate for a win, especially after getting smashed by the Thunder in their last game. Meanwhile, the Bulls have been one of the surprise teams in the league so far, with a couple of nice wins to start. The line could shift significantly by the time tipoff comes around, but as it stands, I am slightly more comfortable going with the Bulls to get the win and cover at the short line at home.
