Hawks at Bulls: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Hawks 117, Bulls 112
Money line (ML)
HAWKS (-125) is a good play on the road as they kick off a new season with so much promise. Clint Capela is new in the middle with fellow newcomer Bogdan Bogdanovic, joining promising youngsters Cam Reddish and Trae Young. The Bulls (+105) have a strong frontcourt, and new coach in Billy Donovan, but their backcourt depth isn’t quite there. Atlanta’s depth should pull them through to a road win to start.
Against the spread (ATS)
A play on the HAWKS -2.5 (-105) is a play against the series trends, as the Bulls +2.5 (-115) are 8-2 ATS in the past 10 meetings in this series. However, with a new coaching regime, some backcourt issues, etc., look for Chicago to be on the short end at home.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 231.5 (-110) is the lean in the opener, based on trends in this series and a super high number. The Under has hit in 13 of the past 18 meetings at United Center. In addition, the Under is 22-8 in the past 30 for the Hawks as a road favorite, too.
