4 minCavaliers vs. Bulls Prediction: Can Zach LaVine, Bulls Surprise Unbeaten Cavs on Monday Night?
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls will meet from the Windy City on Monday night.
Cleveland comes into the contest with a perfect 11-0 record, good for the best in the NBA. Many will argue that the first few weeks of the NBA season are insignificant. The Cavs have proven that narrative false, giving themselves a significant cushion as we approach December.
Cleveland has enjoyed regular-season success over the past few seasons, reaching the playoffs in back-to-back years. Last season, Cleveland won its first-round matchup against the Orlando Magic but fell short in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Darius Garland has added 20.5 points per game and 6.6 assists.

Chicago begins the contest with a 4-6 record. The Bulls were expected to be among the worst teams in the Eastern Conference entering the season. Chicago moved on from their superstar DeMar DeRozan, who was traded to the Sacramento Kings in the offseason. The trade opened up multiple opportunities for younger players on the Bulls roster.
The Bulls have struggled in November, with a record of 1-4. Chicago snapped its losing streak with a 125-113 win over the Hawks on Saturday.
Veteran Zach LaVine leads the squad with 22.0 points per game. LaVine is listed as probable for tonight’s game.
Big man Nikola Vucevic has enjoyed a strong season with 20.9 points and 10.3 rebounds.
Coby White has added 19.4 points and 5.0 assists.
