Bulls at Hawks Preview

The Atlanta Hawks currently sit two games above the Chicago Bulls in Eastern Conference standings. The Hawks have struggled to remain healthy this season with two notable injuries to star Trae Young and promising new addition Kristaps Porzingis. Nevertheless, their two bright spots have been Jalen Johnson’s ascension and Nickel Alexander-Walker’s Most Improved Player of the Year performance. The Bulls need to contain both of their scoring contributions to limit the Hawks’ offensive output.

Josh Giddey will be up against his fellow Australian, Dyson Daniels, which always makes them elevate their on-court play. Giddey has carried his improved three-point shooting throughout the entire season and must maintain a high volume to help secure a win. Lastly, head coach Billy Donovan must continue to utilize his double big lineups.
