Hawks (-1.5) at Bulls

The Bulls (2-0) have jumped out to a quick start following victories over the Pistons and Magic. Chicago took care of an unrested Orlando team in Saturday’s 110-98 win as 6-point road underdogs.

Atlanta (1-2) rallied to stun Orlando on Friday night, but the Hawks fell short against defending champion Oklahoma City in Saturday’s 117-100 home setback.

Last season, the Hawks and Bulls split four matchups, as Chicago’s two wins came in the underdog role. The Bulls opened as a ‘dog tonight, but that line has flipped with Atlanta as a short favorite.

The Hawks hope to get F Kristaps Porzingis back tonight after missing the last two games with an illness. He scored 20 points in the season-opening loss to the Raptors. This is a good spot to fade Chicago after a pair of victories over playoff teams from last season.

Raptors/Spurs Under (233.5)

Toronto has cashed the Over in each of its first three games this season. The Raptors (1-2) lost to the Mavericks on Sunday night, 139-129, as Toronto allowed its most points through three games.

The Raptors have a quick turnaround tonight against the Spurs (3-0), who also played on Sunday. San Antonio pulled away from Brooklyn, 118-107, marking their second Under of the season.

The Spurs have not allowed an opponent to shoot better than 43% from the floor in three wins, while their lone Over came at New Orleans thanks to the game going to overtime.

The Raptors have been torched at the free throw line this season, giving up 29 points to Dallas and 32 points to Atlanta. San Antonio has scored 17 points from the foul line in two games, while shooting 68.9%.

Look for a better defensive effort from the Raptors tonight to stay Under the total against the Spurs.

Suns (-1.5) at Jazz

The Jazz (1-1) pulled off the biggest stunner of the opening week by blasting the Clippers, 129-108 as 9.5-point home underdogs. Utah fell short in its second game, dropping a 105-104 decision at Sacramento on Friday as the Jazz shot 44% from the floor.

The Suns (1-2) visit Salt Lake City tonight, looking to rebound off a pair of losses to the Clippers and Nuggets by double-digits apiece. Phoenix rallied from a 17-point halftime deficit to shock Sacramento in the season opener prior to the pair of road losses.

Last season, the Suns captured all four matchups with the Jazz, as Phoenix seeks its first road win of the season. The Jazz covered in both games as an underdog of six points or higher, but this is the shortest line Utah is seeing as a ‘dog.
