The Chicago Bulls dropped only their second game of the season yesterday in an NBA Cup tie against the division rival Milwaukee Bucks. The theme of "seconds" will continue tonight (though hopefully with a different outcome): the second game of a back-to-back, second in a row on the road, second straight against a division opponent and second night facing an Eastern Conference contender when the Bulls face the Cleveland Cavaliers.
For better or worse, both teams come into the contest relatively healthy, with the exceptions of two important backcourt stars.
Still no Coby White for Bulls against Cavaliers, Dosunmu probable
Chicago's leading scorer from last season remains out with a lingering calf injury -- though there seems to be a plan for his return.
