Reinforcements are coming for the Bulls. Zach LaVine is set to return from his knee injury and they recently signed Tristan Thompson to provide depth at center. They have been very successful at home this season, posting a 21-10 record there ATS. They have played the Hawks twice, winning both games by at least 12 points. Add in John Collins (foot) being unlikely to play for Atlanta and I like the Bulls to cover.

The Bulls will get back All-Star Zach LaVine from injury to pair with scorching-hot DeMar DeRozan, who carries a historic streak of seven straight games with at least 35 points and 50 percent shooting -- with LaVine back to steal some shots, I'd imagine that ends. Thursday also will be the Chicago debut of Tristan Thompson, who adds some needed size and rebounding. Atlanta is expected to be without John Collins.
