Check here for the game recap for the Cavaliers and Bulls.

The Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers are playing live on the Martin Luther King Day NBA schedule and the matchup from the Quicken Loans Arena has LeBron James and Derrick Rose matching up with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and Pau Gasol in action on TNT and the game starts at 7:30 pm ET as the central division teams matchup.

The Cavaliers come into the game after a win against the Clippers and they have been on a west coast road trip and finally have returned home. The team has the Utah Jazz next and the team comes in at 21-20 and they are trying to get on a positive run. The Cavaliers have dealt with uneven play all season and now that LeBron James is back healthy they can get into more of a rhythm. The team comes in scoring 100 points per game and they have been starting to click on that side of the ball but not on offense.

 

The team comes in after a nice win over the Clippers and they allowed 121 points in that matchup and they are looking to start playing better on defense. The team had Kyrie Irving lead the way with 37 points per game and James led with seven assists and Tristan Thompson also had 12 rebounds. Love sat out against the Clippers and he will be returning against the Bulls for the divisional matchup on the national holiday.

James has looked good since coming back from an injury and he will be the key for the Cavs to turning things around. The Bulls are the favorites in the central division this season and they are one of the best teams in the east and could make a finals run if the Cavs don't get it together.
