The Hawks are loaded offensively and enter the season with high expectations. They say they're going to prioritize defense this season, but on opening night they won't have some of their best defenders, including Clint Capela and Kris Dunn. Billy Donovan's Bulls will play faster than last season, which should enable Zach LaVine and Coby White to shine. Grab the points.

The Bulls have some good young talent, they were just horribly coached last year by Jim Boylen. Billy Donovan should be a huge upgrade. Coby White, then a rookie, absolutely blew up at the end of last season and largely carried that over to the 2020 preseason. Chicago swept Atlanta in 2019-20 and has covered eight of the past 10 in the series. The Hawks are a bit thin with rookie No. 6 overall pick Onyeka Okongwu not ready yet due to knee inflammation, and starting center Clint Capela doubtful. Point guards Rajon Rondo and Kris Dunn (former Bull) are both out.
