Preview
The Chicago Bulls enter into Saturday nights game on the road with an ugly 1-4 record. The young core in Chicago just hasn’t been able to find a rhythm early on, hence their struggles in the numbers. After playing back-to-back games against the Charlotte Hornets where they split games 1-1, the Bulls are on the hunt to get back to normal as they were dominated on Friday night by the Hornets.
There isn’t much to be optimistic about for Bulls fans heading into Saturday nights matchup against the Hawks. Although Atlanta hasn’t made much noise for their on-court play, they are finally on a two-game win streak and will look to improve at home on Saturday.
With Chicago’s defensive struggles, the Hawks are predicted to be the clear favorite over the Bulls, with a line of -5.5. Saturday’s game between Chicago and Atlanta won’t issue too much star power, but it could be exciting for Chicago’s young core as they will look to build some confidence against a team that is more within their league of playing at the moment.
Chicago’s star Point Guard, Zach LaVine looks to continue his dominant play against Atlanta, but the Bulls Guard is going to need some help moving forward. As he is averaging an impressive 29 points-per-game, he’s only been able to get minimum contributions from his teammates aside from his fellow guard, Cameron Payne.
With a little more effort from the bench, the Bulls have the ability to step up and create an upset on Saturday. As far as the Hawks go, they don’t necessarily have any major standout pieces on board with their roster, but they have clicked well as a collective.
As the team is beginning to find some balance in the chemistry, they have been able to close out games with a winning outcome. Against a struggling Bulls team, Atlanta shouldn’t have too many issues trying to get the win at home on Saturday night.
