Atlanta, GA (My Sportsbook) - The surprising Chicago Bulls look to remain perfect on the season whey they travel to Atlanta on Saturday to take on the Hawks.

The Bulls are 2-0 this season after wins against Boston and New Orleans. The last time Chicago started a campaign 3-0 was the 1996-97 season, when they began 12-0 and went on to win the NBA title.

In Friday's game, Jalen Rose scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half to lift the Bulls to an 84-79 win over the Hornets in the home opener at the United Center. Donyell Marshall had 15 points and 12 rebounds for the Bulls.

Chicago is also above .500 for the first time since the 1997-98 season, when Michael Jordan led the Bulls to the last of their six NBA titles in the 1990s.

Chicago didn't win its second game last season until November 29.

The Hawks are fresh off a 105-98 win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday. Glenn Robinson poured in 30 points and dished out seven assists as Atlanta opened the home portion of its schedule.

Jason Terry added 21 points and 13 assists for the Hawks, who rebounded from a season-opening loss at New Jersey on Wednesday.

Shareef Abdur-Rahim played in his first game of the season after missing the opener with a stiff back. The All-Star forward chipped in 17 points and five rebounds.

Alan Henderson and Ira Newble rounded out Atlanta's double-digit scorers with 10 points each.

Atlanta guard Dion Glover missed Thursday's game with an ankle injury and is questionable for Saturday's contest.

The Hawks have won the last two meetings with Chicago and four of the last five. Chicago has dropped five of its last seven games at Atlanta.
