The Game Every NBA Team Is Circling on Its 2020-21 Schedule

Atlanta Hawks

The Game: Feb. 3 vs. the Dallas Mavericks

Trae Young is never going to escape the comparisons to Luka Doncic. That's the inevitability that sometimes comes with draft-night trades.

Young is already an All-Star, but Luka looks like a perennial MVP candidate (he just finished fourth in voting last season).

In their two head-to-head matchups, though, Young has actually outplayed Doncic. And with recently arrived reinforcements like Danilo Gallinari and Bogdan Bogdanovic, the Atlanta Hawks should be better equipped to help Young secure a win over Luka.

Chicago Bulls Schedule: 5 compelling matchups over first half of season

Season opener vs. Atlanta Hawks (Wednesday December 23rd)



Of course, the game every fan is looking forward to is the regular season opener. Bulls basketball is back, and the general sense of optimism around the club is invigorating. On Wednesday December 23rd, the Bulls will take on the Atlanta Hawks at home in a game featuring what should be plenty of exciting guard play.

Atlanta boasts one of the better young guards in the league in point guard Trae Young, while also adding former Bull Kris Dunn to help add experience, defense and depth to the position. In Young, you have an offensive explosion waiting to happen while Dunn is there to assist in locking down the perimeter.

On Chicago’s side, you’ll of course see Coby White and Zach LaVine ready to start together in the Bulls’ back court, looking to do some damage as a budding duo.

Don’t look past the front court, though, as Atlanta has one of the best young power forwards in the game today. John Collins put up arguably the most quiet 20-10 season of all-time last year, putting up 21.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. Collins is a legitimate threat, and he can also shoot the three ball.

The Bulls will have their work cut out for them from the get-go this season, and a matchup with the Hawks couldn’t be a better game to start with. It should be fireworks from the opening tip. Lots of offense and young talent in this one — is it opening night yet?
