The Cleveland Cavaliers are on a roll.
They started the season on a 15-game winning streak, and while some believed that level of play was unsustainable for the rest of the season, the Cavaliers continue to perform like a top team in this league.
Cleveland is riding a 10-game winning streak, hoping to extend it to 11 against the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
While the Bulls aren’t having a great season, the Cavaliers can’t take any opponent for granted, especially with the Boston Celtics wanting to creep up behind them in the standings.
They want to win every game possible, which will be slightly more difficult with Evan Mobley sidelined.
According to Chris Fedor on X, Mobley will sit out of this matchup with the Bulls, electing to get some rest ahead of the last month of the season.

Mobley has been a crucial piece of the Cavaliers’ success thus far, a player that his teammates have come to rely on.
He might not have been viewed as a top option heading into the year, but he’s a big reason why the Cavaliers have made it to this point.
Thankfully for his teammates and the Cavaliers’ chances of winning this game, they are one of the deepest teams in the league.
Their depth has come up clutch in key situations before, and Kenny Atkinson will need his players to step up again and fill in during Mobley’s absence.
It should only be for one game, and with many more marquee matchups coming down the road, the Cavaliers will want him to keep his energy levels high, especially for what they hope will be a deep playoff run.
