What to Know

The Chicago Bulls might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the Atlanta Hawks at 8 p.m. ET April 9 at State Farm Arena. The neutral point spread forecasts a close one for these two.

The Bulls netted a 122-113 win over the Toronto Raptors on Thursday. Chicago's shooting guard Zach LaVine did his thing and posted a double-double on 22 points and 13 assists in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, Atlanta received a tough blow on Wednesday as they fell 131-113 to the Memphis Grizzlies. Atlanta was down 110-87 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. Shooting guard Bogdan Bogdanovic put forth a good effort for the losing side as he had 24 points along with six rebounds.

Chicago found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 124-104 punch to the gut against Atlanta in the teams' previous meeting last December. Can the Bulls avenge their defeat, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
