Atlanta Hawks at Chicago Bulls Scouting  Report

Preview

With four games remaining in the regular season, only one game separates the eight-seed Atlanta Hawks and the ten-seed Chicago Bulls. However, a lot could change before Sunday afternoon, beginning with tonight's matchup between the two teams.

Throughout the season, Atlanta has been consistently inconsistent. Never too hot or too cold - just hovering around the .500 mark. Meanwhile, Chicago has been far more streaky but has won seven of their last ten games.

Atlanta and Chicago have faced off three times this season, with each team taking one game by a buzzer-beat and the Bulls gaining a 2-1 advantage in late January. Therefore, the season series and Play-In seeding rely directly on the outcome of today's game.

Trae Young has played well in all three games against Chicago this season, and his team needs him to snap out of his ongoing cold streak tonight. Meanwhile, Chicago's dynamic duo of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have proven too much for Atlanta's shaky perimeter defense before.

Injury Report

Chicago's injury report lists Alex Caruso (foot) and Javonte Green (knee) as probable. Meanwhile, Lonzo Ball (knee) remains out.

Atlanta's injury report lists Trae Young (non-COVID illness) as questionable and De’Andre Hunter (bone bruise and muscle strain, left knee) as out.
