Chicago Bulls Preview
The Chicago Bulls (42-31) have not been in great form since the All-Star break. They were the top team in the East for a while but are now down in fifth place.
The Bulls need a win to pull clear of the sixth-place Cavaliers (41-32). Zach LaVine has played well in the last few games. With only nine games left, the team will look for big performances from him. The likes of DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic will also have to start firing if the Bulls hope to end the regular season on a high.

Against the Cavs, the Bulls will have to step up to fancy their chances of a win.
Chicago Bulls Predicted Lineup
G - Alex Caruso; G - Ayo Dosunmu; F - Zach LaVine; F - DeMar DeRozan; C - Nikola Vucevic.
Cleveland Cavaliers Preview
The Cavaliers have been one of the most surprising teams in the league this season.
Despite missing Collin Sexton due to injury, they are sixth in the East. They have prospered at the defensive end, and in Darius Garland, they have a talented youngster capable of handling the offense.
The Cavs have tough matchups against the Philadelphia 76ers, Milwaukee Bucks and the Brooklyn Nets coming up. So they have their task cut out as they seek to reach the postseason.
