LeBron James has undoubtedly put Cleveland on the map and his storied rivalries against Chicago will surely be a great underlying story aside from the excellent basketball.

Cleveland have a star-studded line-up but will be without Kevin Love who suffered a dislocated shoulder in their recent series against the Boston Celtics.

However, they still have Kyrie Irving who has paved his way as one of the elite point guards in the league.

On the other side, the Bulls are led by Jimmy Butler who has had a solid season so far, and Pau Gasol has revived his career with Chicago.

Moreover, Derrick Rose has shown glimpses of his old self at times in the playoffs and will need to step his game up against their biggest rivals.

The two teams met four times in the regular season, with the Cavaliers taking the series 3-1. They won the first game in Illinois after an overtime win that saw James score 36 points and grabbed eight rebounds.

In their next meeting, Cleveland wowed their home fans with a 108-94 win again led by James' 26 points and JR Smith's 20 points and 6-of-9 shooting from beyond the arc.

Chicago finally got their revenge in their third meeting as they beat the Cavs 113-98 at home with Rose leading the way with 30 points while shooting 50% from the field.

Tony Snell also played a great game with 22 points while shooting 9-of-11 from the field.

And in their last meeting, a 99-94 win for the Cavs clinched the regular season series behind Irving's 27 points as he went 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, while the Bulls played without Rose who was out due to injury.

This series is one that many fans are eager to see, and for scores and highlights, go to NBA.com. For live streaming, click here.
