3. Bulls vs Cavaliers – January 4

There’s always physicality and a desire to win when the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls play each other. The two have plenty of history together and they don’t like each other at all. This year, the rivalry will look a bit different in Chicago.

With Derrick Rose gone and Dwyane Wade in, LeBron James is going to have his best friend with him in the same division. That’s going to make these two battles must-see television and any of the four games will be an absolute must-watch for sports fans.

When these two teams do battle on January 4, it will be right around the time when the season in the league really starts kicking into full gear. Everyone knows where the Cavaliers will be at when that time rolls around, but where the Bulls end up in the standings remains to be seen.

If the trio of Jimmy Butler, Wade and Rajon Rondo ends up working out, then this could be a fantastic game. The battles between Wade and James have tended to favor Wade, which raises the bar for their one-on-one battles with each other. Either way, it’s a division game and those are always fun.
