The Chicago Bulls, fresh off their second loss of the season to the Milwaukee Bucks in an NBA Cup matchup, are set for another tough challenge against the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 8. This marks the second game of a back-to-back and their second consecutive road game against a division opponent.
Both teams enter the matchup largely healthy, with two notable exceptions in the backcourt. Chicago’s top scorer from last season remains sidelined by a lingering calf issue, though there’s optimism about his return soon. He aims to rejoin the lineup during the upcoming Western Conference road trip starting in mid-November.
Even with injuries, Chicago shows strong depth under coach Billy Donovan. Josh Giddey’s recent surge into MVP contention, Nikola Vucevic’s steady production, and the bench’s consistency help balance the team until all starters are healthy.
"He’s probable for tonight’s game against the Cavs."
The Bulls approach their second straight road game versus Cleveland with solid depth and cautious optimism as key players near recovery.
