After a tough loss in Donovan Mitchell's debut on Wednesday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers will try to get their first win with their new star tonight as they visit the Chicago Bulls.
In Wednesday's opener at Toronto, Mitchell made a big splash, scoring 31 points and dishing out nine assists. But after leading by eight entering the fourth quarter, Cleveland was outscored 32-21 in the final period in a 108-105 loss.
The Bulls are coming off of a tough loss as well. They won their opener in Miami on Wednesday thanks to a huge game by DeMar DeRozan, but they fell in th e final seconds last night to Bradley Beal and the Washington Wizards.
Chicago may have one of the best home records in the Eastern Conference last season, but the Bulls are an underdog for their home opener. But they are due to receive a big personnel boost tonight, which could flip things in their favor.
