The Cleveland Cavaliers are set to face the Chicago Bulls on Friday, aiming to extend their winning streak to 13 games. This matchup marks the Cavs' first game in the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup, and they are eager to secure an early advantage in their group.
However, the Cavaliers will be missing star player Evan Mobley due to illness, alongside Sam Merrill, who is out with ankle soreness. Mobley has been a significant contributor this season, averaging nearly 18 points and showcasing strong defensive skills.
On the other side, the Bulls will also be without their starting point guard, Lonzo Ball, who is sidelined with a wrist injury, adding to the stakes of this crucial game.
