Sure Atlanta likes it fast, but this total is simply too high. The pace may actually force him to play less min. Under

Just a half unit because I trust the Hawks zero percent, but Alex Caruso being out for the Bulls was the decider here. He's that important defensively, especially against a perimeter-oriented team like Atlanta.

This Hawks team has been impressive over the last two weeks with some nice wins (Warriors/Suns) and some narrow losses (Clippers/Celtics) while the Bulls have been coasting to some wins against a relatively soft schedule. The Hawks have also been covering ATS at an impressive rate over that same stretch. I like how the Hawks have been trending and I like the plethora of contributions that they can get from their entire starting five. I'm counting on the home team to continue its impressive stretch.

Here we have another inflated line as Nikola Vucevic averages 31.6 PRA. The reason this line is inflated is more than likely due to this matchup being against Atlanta. While as first glance that would normally qualify as a plus matchup, I'm not sure it does in this specific instance for Vucevic. Onyeka Okongwu is the starting Center for Atlanta after Clint Capela suffered an injury that is going to cost him a few weeks. It wouldnt surprise me if Capela never gets his starting job back as Okongwu is an extremely impressive player with tantalizing upside on both ends of the court. Okongwu's defensive metrics are already very impressive and I believe he'll be able to hold Vooch to his season averages.
