The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had much of a chance to see LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in action together, but Cavs head coach David Blatt said will likely change on Monday.
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t had a chance to use its intended rotation very much in the NBA preseason due to planned rest days and injuries, but head coach David Blatt said he would “probably” treat Monday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bulls in the same way he’d treat a regular season game:

James is expected to sit out Wednesday’s preseason game, meaning this will likely be the Cavs’s last chance to use the preseason to get their rotations a little more settled, although the team doesn’t seem to be too concerned about having to use part of the regular season to learn to play together.
Irving returned on Friday night from an ankle injury and dropped 23 points and five assists in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks, and he, James and Love will play together for the first time in game action on Monday.
