Who’s Playing
Chicago @ Atlanta
Current Records: Chicago 11-14; Atlanta 13-13
What to Know
The Atlanta Hawks will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Chicago Bulls at 6:30 p.m. ET Sunday at State Farm Arena. If the matchup is anything like Atlanta’s 130-124 win from their previous meeting in March, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.
The Hawks were close but no cigar this past Friday as they fell 120-116 to the Brooklyn Nets. A silver lining for Atlanta was the play of shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic, who shot 7-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 31 points. Bogdanovic’s performance made up for a slower contest against the New York Knicks this past Wednesday. Bogdanovic’s points were the most he has had all season.
Meanwhile, everything went Chicago’s way against the Dallas Mavericks this past Saturday as they made off with a 144-115 victory. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 82-53. Chicago’s small forward DeMar DeRozan did his thing and had 28 points and five assists in addition to nine rebounds.
Atlanta is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Charlotte Hornets Oct. 23 easily too and instead slipped up with a 126-109. In other words, don’t count the Bulls out just yet.
