Bulls game day

Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers at the United Center, 6:30 p.m.

TV: Channel 9

Radio: WMVP 1000-AM

Update: The Cavaliers (17-61) have been on a roll lately and that’s not a joke. They’re 4-4 in the last eight games and have actually moved a half-game ahead of Minnesota in the race to avoid the NBA’s worst record. Power forward J.J. Hickson (21.6 pts., 10.8 rebs. in last five games) and guard Ramon Sessions (18.6 pts. in last five) have done most of the damage lately. Antawn Jamison and Anderson Varejao are out for the year. The Bulls are 3-0 against the Cavs this season, but none of the games were blowouts.

Next: Orlando Magic on Sunday, noon, at the Amway Center.
