Hawks at Bulls Stats
Looking at the Atlanta Hawks stats
The Hawks have struggled mightily as of late. Atlanta has dropped seven of their past ten games. On the bright side, Trae Young recently returned from covid protocols.
Perhaps, he will provide the spark to turn the Hawks’ season around.
Young is making an MVP case for himself this season. The superstar point guard is averaging 27.3 points per game to go along with 9.3 assists. Young has done a tremendous job of balancing scoring with playmaking which makes his team better every time he steps on the court.
One thing Atlanta does at an elite level is shoot the three ball. The Hawks own a league-best 37.9 three-point percentage. They also rank inside the top ten in points per game. However, they are near the bottom of the NBA in team defensive efficiency.
Alatna will need to pick up the slack on defense if they want to establish themselves as a true contender in the Eastern Conference this year.
Looking at the Chicago Bulls stats
The Bulls have stayed strong despite a myriad of covid cases. They are 8-2 over their past ten contests and currently place second in the East.
DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine were excellent yet again on Monday in their victory over Atlanta. DeRozan scored 35 points to go along with ten assists, while LaVine added 30 points and nine rebounds.
Nikola Vucevic had a big game as well, with 24 points and 17 rebounds.
Even with Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball out of the rotation due to protocols, Chicago featured the depth to earn the win.
The Bulls will look to make it two in a row against the Hawks on Wednesday.
