CLEVELAND -- The Chicago Bulls have already played one game without Taj Gibson.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will get their first look at the Bulls without him, and they aren't too upset about Gibson's absence.
"We had problems guarding (Doug) McDermott and Taj the last game," Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said. "McDermott's movement and his shooting ability and then just Taj with his physical presence of being able to post up and offensive rebounding."
The Cavs host the Bulls at 8:30 p.m. Saturday in ABC's weekly primetime NBA slot.
On Thursday, the Bulls traded forwards Gibson, McDermott, and a 2018 second-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for guards Cameron Payne and Anthony Morrow and center Joffrey Lauvergne.
