Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview 

The Atlanta Hawks have been in pretty good shape as they’ve won five of their last seven games overall, but they will be hoping to bounce back in this one after having their four-game win streak snapped by the Lakers in a 124-114 loss on Monday. CJ McCollum led the team with 21 points and four assists off the bench, Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 20 points with four assists and two blocks while Onyeka Okongwu chipped in with 16 points, nine rebounds and three assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line, but they couldn’t find a way to slow down the Lakers early on and quickly found themselves trailing by 19 points. The Hawks rallied late to cut the lead to just two points at one stage, but they scored just three points in the final 3:29 of the fourth quarter to allow the Lakers to pull away at the end.

Chicago Bulls Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been ice-cold so far as they’ve lost nine of their first 10 games and they are now on an eight-game losing streak after falling just short to the Spurs in a 124-119 home defeat on Wednesday. Jalen Smith led the team with 23 points on eight of nine shooting, Nic Claxton added 17 points on five of six shooting off the bench while Caleb Wilson chipped in with 15 points on five of seven shooting. As a team, the Bulls shot a healthy 58 percent from the field and 15 of 29 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 41 points in the first quarter to open up a 22-point lead. However, the lead didn’t last very long as the  Bulls allowed the Spurs to tie the scores in the fourth quarter and they just had no reply after the Spurs went on a 13-2 run to start to pull away. Josh Giddey had a quiet game of just nine points with seven turnovers while Isaac Okoro finished scoreless in this one.

Atlanta v Chicago Free Prediction

The Hawks have ruled out Keshon Gilbert, Asa Newell and Mouhamed Gueye, while the Bulls have ruled out Caleb Wilson with Norman Powell and Dailyn Swain both questionable.

The Hawks were really starting to heat up before they ran into the surging Lakers in their last outing so they open as clear road favorites against the Bulls who are still stuck on just one win for the season so far. The Bulls showed plenty of fight in a narrow loss to the Spurs in their last outing, but with Powell still out injured, I have to stick with the healthier and more consistent Hawks to take advantage in this spot.

Peter Tran's Pick: Atlanta -6.5
