There's plenty of credit to go around when it comes to the Cleveland Cavaliers undefeated start to the season. NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal has his doubts about one particular person's role in the hot start though.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were a modest contender last season in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, barely surviving the Orlando Magic in the first round of the playoffs before falling in the conference semifinals to eventual world title winner Boston.

When the Cavs host the Bulls for the first game of their Eastern Conference NBA Cup matchup, they'll be without a key role player.

Donovan Mitchell scored a season-high 36 points and Evan Mobley had a double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds as the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers remained undefeated with a 119-113 win against the Chicago Bulls on Monday.

It’s a quiet night Thursday in the Association, as there’s just one game on the card with the Dallas Mavericks visiting the Jazz. Dallas is coming off a disappointing 130-127 loss to the Warriors despite having a seven-point lead during the game’s final four minutes.
