5*
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Chicago,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -105.00 Chicago (Home)
Result: Win
Dennis Schroder is OUT for the Hawks and he is their best player averaging 23 ppg. Atlanta is one of the worst shooting teams in the NBA and they allow 110 ppg, not a good combination. Atlanta, like a lot of teams, has no one to truly matchup with Bulls 7-foot forward Lauri Markkanen, who takes can play inside and shoot the 3-ball. One of the strangest schedules to open a season belongs to the Atlanta Hawks. Thursday, they'll compete in their fifth straight road game to start the season against the Chicago Bulls. Though the Bulls are winless I like them to get a win here on Thursday night.
