Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls (42-31) will take on Darius Garland and the Cleveland Cavaliers (41-32) in part of the NBA Saturday slate.
After a strong start to the season, the Bulls have experienced struggles as of late. They are coming off a 126-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans without DeMar DeRozan in the lineup.
The Cavaliers ended up losing 117-104 to the Toronto Raptors in their most recent performance. Pascal Siakam’s 35 points proved to be too much to overcome.
The Bulls and Cavaliers both need to rack up as many wins as possible as they look to maximize their outlook for playoff seeding in the Eastern Conference. A head-to-head matchup will be important.
