A team that’s which is expected to be in the same basic league as the Cavs on the road along with losing their all-star point guard earlier in the game could have led to the Raptors to lose badly.
However however, instead, the Cavs were battling and almost ended up winning however, they lost only by three points to the Raps.

Cleveland Cavaliers starting lineup tonight
There’s some debate about who will take over Darius Garland in the starting lineup. Cedi Osman played in the second quarter against Raptors Raptors this week, however it’s quite likely that the head Coach J.B. Bickerstaff elects to start Isaac Okoro for more defense or Raul Neto to allow more passing. Osman is the best we can guess at until the team is confirmed.
Cavs: Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert, Cedi Osman, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen
Bulls: Ayo Dosunmo, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams, Nikola Vucevic
Prediction
The Chicago Bulls are getting a major boost thanks to the return of All-Star player Zach LaVine, while the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to be without their All-Star player with Darius Garland. The quality of the two teams closer.
The Bulls attempt to beat teams with offense by pushing centers away from the rim, thanks to the shooting skills of Nikola Vucevic. The Cavs are not frightened by this, as they have the ability to maintain their size while still matching with each other; Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley are excellent at defending in the space. The intensity of defense that the Cavs can crank up will slow down the Bulls attacking.
On the other side on the other hand, the Bulls have a problem with Lonzo Ball, and with Garland out , the Bulls aren’t going to be able to keep up with Donovan Mitchell. DeRozan is likely to be able to get his But the Cavs are poised to take advantage of a low-scoring match.
Cavaliers 100, Bulls 95
