What to Know

This Monday, the Chicago Bulls are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 115.02 points per game. They will take on the Atlanta Hawks at 8 p.m. ET Monday at United Center after having had a few days off. Chicago is out to stop a four-game streak of losses at home.

You can’t lose the contest if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the Bulls’ strategy against the Detroit Pistons this past Thursday. Chicago had enough points to win and then some against Detroit, taking their matchup 126-108. Chicago’s success was spearheaded by the efforts of shooting guard Zach LaVine, who had 30 points in addition to five rebounds, and small forward DeMar DeRozan, who had 26 points and five assists along with nine boards.

Meanwhile, it was close but no cigar for Atlanta as they fell 122-118 to the Charlotte Hornets this past Saturday. The Hawks were up 65-49 at the end of the half but couldn’t hold on to the lead. The top scorers for Atlanta were point guard Dejounte Murray (26 points), small forward De’Andre Hunter (25 points), and point guard Trae Young (25 points).

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Bulls are expected to win a tight contest. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Chicago came out on top in a nail-biter against Atlanta in the teams’ previous meeting last December, sneaking past 110-108. Will Chicago repeat their success, or does Atlanta have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
