The Cleveland Cavaliers are looking to keep the race for a top spot in the Eastern Conference standings alive against the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night. However, an injury to guard Donovan Mitchell may prevent them from doing so.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell had another nasty highlight against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday.

Cleveland star Donovan Mitchell missed the Cavaliers' game Thursday night against the Chicago Bulls because of a bruised left eye. Mitchell was hurt in a collision in practice with Evan Mobley. The seven-time All-Star played through the injury in Cleveland’s victory at Milwaukee on Tuesday night and finished with 19 points on 4-for-14 shooting.

Reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley is the center of trade debates again. Would the Cavs trade him for Giannis this summer?

Then the incredible happened. The Cavs took that 14-point deficit and erased it with a 19-4 run over the next five-plus minutes of gameplay. That stretch would see the Cavs take a one-point lead with just 4:10 left in the game, thanks to James Harden and Donovan Mitchell, who combined for 17 points during that swing.

The heavily favored Cavs held off a furious fourth-quarter rally from the Chicago Bulls, avoiding a crushing collapse and escaping with a 115-110 victory.

Donovan Mitchell could miss Thursday night's game, which is good news for a Bulls team that still doesn't have its best defender.

James Harden had 36 points as the Cavs held on to beat the Bulls 115-110.
