With the Cleveland Cavaliers playing their second preseason game in as many nights, coach Tyronn Lue has decided to rest all of his starters and four key bench players. Nine total players will be sitting out as the Cavs will take on the Chicago Bulls in the United Center.
To be clear: LeBron, Kyrie, Love, Shumpert, Thompson, RJ, Frye Bird Man, Dunleavy are not only not playing tonight — they didn't make trip

One change: Richard Jefferson did make the trip.

Real chance the Cavs go the Indians game while the Cavs play the Bulls in the preseason

With those players not even making the trip, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com also adds that they could very well show up at the Cleveland Indians ALCS opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Progressive Field.
The Cavs will have another chance to see who can step up and show what they can really do without any key rotation players.
