The Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Chicago Bulls at Quicken Loans Arena on Monday.

The Bulls (10-36) come into this matchup losing 10-straight games, as they're simply not playing competitively. In fact, Chicago is losing by an average of 16.2 points per game in that span, with numerous ugly losses. It's easy to see why when looking at the offensive statistics, with the Bulls sitting 29th in scoring and 27th in assists. That's unacceptable when you have offensive studs like Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen and Zach LaVine, as one has to wonder if it's this system that's slowing them down. The hits just keep coming too, as Wendell Carter Jr. is expected to miss 8-12 weeks due to thumb surgery. That's the prized rookie that this team wanted to lean on and it'll give more opportunity to players like Bobby Portis and Robin Lopez. The losses will probably keep coming quickly but this is a great opportunity for them to snap this ugly 10-game slide against the worst team in the league.

The Cavaliers (9-38) are the only team in the league who own a worse record than the Bulls, as they simply don't have the personnel to match up with NBA teams. It's one thing if LeBron James and Kyrie Irving leave town but it's another when you're three best players get injured after that. What's even more discouraging about that is the fact that all three of those guys are frontcourt players, with Kevin Love, Larry Nance Jr. and Tristan Thompson all currently injured. That's way too much to overcome from an already dismantled roster and it has them in line to land yet another top-pick. The statistics speak for themselves, with the Cavaliers sitting 26th in scoring, 26th in rebounding, 29th in assists and 23rd in points allowed. That's obviously a recipe for disaster, as Cleveland comes into this matchup losing 16 of their last 17 games. The fans just want to see more development from players like Jordan Clarkson and Collin Sexton, as that's the only silver lining in what's becoming a dark season.

These teams have had lopsided season series over recent years, with Chicago winning both of their meetings this season. Cleveland actually swept the four-game season series last year, which followed up the Bulls sweeping the four-game season series the year prior.
