Bulls vs Hawks Injury Report

The Hawks won’t have Jalen Johnson, Cody Zeller, Larry Nance Jr., or Kobe Bufkin. De’Andre Hunter also left last night with foot soreness, so that’s something to watch as well.

The Bulls will be without Adama Sanogo, Ayo Dosunmu, and Torrey Craig. The newly signed Emanuel Miller is considered day-to-day.

Bulls vs Hawks Prediction

This line makes no sense to me. Sure, the Bulls have the edge at home given both teams are on the end of a back-to-back, but they also just lost to the Pelicans. The Pelicans don’t win on the road, and well they did against the Bulls. The Hawks have injuries and may also now be without Hunter, but they’ll also have the best player on the floor and are actually putting in effort defensively. I understand the Hawks are 16-23 ATS, but this is a game they should win regardless of venue. Remember, the Hawks lit the Bulls up for 141 points a couple of weeks ago on 52 percent shooting. I’ll grab the bucket with the Hawks while sprinkling the ML as well. The Bulls aren’t scaring anybody.
