Cleveland Hosts Chicago in Conference Matchup

The Bulls enter a tough stretch 1-8 in their easiest schedule phase while the Cavaliers have won 12 of 13 recent meetings despite missing key player Evan Mobley.

  • On November 8, 2025 the Chicago Bulls visited Rocket Arena in Cleveland to face the Cleveland Cavaliers, who had won 12 of their last 13 games against them in this third meeting this season.
  • After a 6-2 start into Rocket Arena, Head coach Billy Donovan's Bulls went one-8 in what many deemed their easiest stretch.
  • Personnel availability and shooting volumes complicate the Bulls' game plan, with Nikola Vucevic scoring 9 on 4-11 and Cleveland averaging 14.9 made 3-pointers per game, 1.4 more than the Bulls allow.
  • Taking advantage of minutes when Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland sit is essential, as Chicago's bench outscored Cleveland's 58-18 with four reserves scoring 11+ on November 8.
  • The Cavaliers' transition offense and offensive glass work provide long-term advantages, scoring 21+ second-chance points in three of six games this month.
