Chicago Bulls What To Watch:

The updated appearance On Tuesday, October 8, the Chicago Bulls kick off their preseason at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are their Eastern Conference opponents. The Cavaliers, led by Donovan Mitchell, have made the playoffs twice in a row, while the Bulls have missed out on a postseason berth for the second consecutive year. Both teams are coming off opposing streaks.

Changes were made by the Bulls throughout the offseason. They acquired Josh Giddey, the young point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, in exchange for Alex Caruso, one of the league's top point-of-attack defenders. In the 2024 Draft class, they selected Matas Buzelis, a native of Windy City, with the eleventh overall pick after trading DeMar DeRozan to the Sacramento Kings.

 

Cleveland Cavaliers What To Watch:

Cleveland will run it back with their backcourt tandem of Mitchell and Darius Garland. They made fewer moves, none of which were significant. Under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen have reclaimed their spots, and the four players will now try to continue playing competitively. Atkinson explained that having one of the league's most sought-after coaches will be the difference between their campaigns from the previous two seasons.

The Cavaliers' advantage will be their consistency. Garland's strong season will undoubtedly raise their ceiling. Although this team has boasted of having a fierce offensive and excellent defense, there was a noticeable lack of coordination, which is where Atkinson's clever planning comes into play. 

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers' preseason debuts provide intriguing clues about the preparedness of both clubs. Based on their previous season and their current preseason performances, a close matchup is likely.
