The Cleveland Cavaliers host the visiting Chicago Bulls for a divisional matchup Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Chicago and Cleveland played three times in last year's lockout-shortened season, with the Bulls winning each matchup by at least 21 points.

The Cavs pulled off a 94-84 season opening victory against the Washington Wizards led by point guard Kyrie Irving who scored 29 points and pulling down six rebounds.

Also impressive was Anderson Varejao, who put up a ridiculous line of nine points, 23 rebounds and nine assists. The 23 rebounds marked a career-high for the big man.

Meanwhile, the Bulls pulled out a gritty 93-87 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday during their season opener.

Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer led the team as the duo combined for 41 points on 14-of-25 shooting and 18 rebounds. The win embodied what many Bulls games will be like this year without Derrick Rose, who is rehabbing a torn ACL.
