ATL vs CHI Dream11 Prediction NBA Live Atlanta Hawks vs Chicago Bulls

ATL vs CHI Dream11: NBA keeps on churning games and we have already witnessed a lot of memorable moments throughout the season. Although it may sound strange, I prefer the Regular Season to the Playoffs because there are so many different match-ups on a daily basis. We see the growth of young players, the rise of various teams, and yes, it may be all about the championship for some, I love looking through the different sets of teams, roster combinations and here we are, discussing another such scenario. Let us dive into the match-up between the Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago Bulls.

The Hawks have had a disappointing season and after reaching the Eastern Finals during the last one, they are looking in rather tatters these days. One reason for their so-so performances has been the rise of the Eastern Conference and as multiple teams have elevated their game, the Hawks have not showcased major improvements.

On the other hand, the Chicago Bulls are surely showcasing major improvements. DeMar DeRozan has been a force as a scorer and he has kept on the heat as an MVP candidate. Apart from DeMar, Lavine, Vucevic, Dosunmu, and White have done their bits too but the East is a fierce race this season.

Host: Atlanta Hawks
Visitors: Chicago Bulls
Match Timing: 4 March, @ 05:30 AM
Venue: State Farm Arena

NBA Projections, Stats & Analysis

Hawks: Overdependence on Trae, flailing fortunes
The Atlanta Hawks derive most of their winning contributions from Trae Young. He is an excellent offensive playmaker and his beautiful ball-handling skills and eagle-eyed vision help the team in accumulating a bench of points. As a prime driver, there is a lot of burden upon Young and when he has an inefficient night, the Hawks have a 90% chance of losing the game. This is a concern even if the Hawks are not the only team that is likely to fail with their ace being ice-cold. For the Hawks, finding a winning combination has been tough. And with the absence of John Collins, the team balance has been compromised.

However, the team does have effective shooters. Bogdan Bogdanovic has been scrapping 20+ points regularly, Gallinari can get 10-15 a night every now and then while Kevin Huerter is a stabilizer at the off-guard position. Clint Capela’s production has gone down at the Center position and that has been a cause of concern. The bench isn’t shabby, especially with Bogdan coming as the sixth player but the overall team balance has lacked some fizz. The Hawks are struggling to beat the major teams in the East and this is largely due to them not having an effective defense or overly relying upon Trae to work his magic.

Bulls: Can the DeRozan-LaVine duo go the distance?
The Bulls have been also highly reliant upon DeMar DeRozan but they also have another effective shot-creator in Zach LaVine. However, the bulk of the offense has depended upon DeMar and he looks like he is on a mission this season. But that doesn’t mean LaVine will not be huge during the Playoffs and this is a blessing for the Bulls because DeRozan’s ability to score in the halfcourt situations will especially be huge during the slowed-down tempo during the Postseason. The middle is packed by Nikola Vucevic who has done his part well and has made the Bulls his home through his stunning scoring and rebounding. These three are the core of starting lineup but the depth has been hurt with the absence of Ball and Caruso.

But that has paved the way for Ayu Dosunmu to be a high-octane two-way one-Guard and his ability to score at a high keep and also act as a ballhandler has helped take some load off the two major scorers. Patrick Williams’ absence has hurt the team balance too and his defense can be hugely effective during the postseason. Surely, the Bulls will need Ball and Caruso back because they are major difference makers and gave the Bulls huge balance earlier. Bulls’ defense has been a bit suspect at times but once Caruso returns, they can seize the perimeter I believe. So how will they fare as the Playoffs come near?

Where to watch NBA Live Score?

Wouldn’t you love to catch DeRozan catch heat and dip in jumpers from the mid-range while also being a terrific driver to the rim! In not a piece of great news, the designated NBA Indian streaming services Voot and JIOTV are not going to field this game. Hence, I believe that the most viable model to dive into all the NBA games is by purchasing the annual subscription in the NBA League Pass through which you can plunge into all the live streams and catch the full game replays too.
