Atlanta Hawks at Chicago Bulls Pick
Spread Pick for Hawks vs. Bulls
- Chicago Bulls +1.5 (4 units)
The Chicago Bulls have been playing at an excellent level to begin the season and should be in a good spot in this game as well. Their defense has been elite, while Atlanta is still searching to get to that point, even with some great on-ball defenders. The Hawks are dealing with some injuries and the number is not going to be better than right now while their statuses are in limbo, so take advantage of that as well. The Bulls are averaging 9.5 steals per game and are passing the basketball to the open man. With the team playing at a superb level and being 2-0 ATS so far this season, go with the Chicago Bulls to cover the spread at home.
Over/Under Pick for Hawks vs. Bulls
- Under (5 units)
The injuries that we are talking about for Atlanta are some of the best non-Trae Young scoring threats on the team, which, when going up against Chicago’s stout defense, is going to be even more difficult to score. The defensive ratings are stepping up as the Hawks are 19th with a 116.4 defensive rating, while the Bulls are best in the sport with a 98.1 defensive rating up to this point. Chicago’s offense is shooting well, but are in the middle of the league as they are 12th with a 36.8 team 3-point percentage, as they are not going to be lights out in that aspect. All in all, go with the under as the better bet here.
