Welcome back to the NBA season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls square off on Tuesday night after the Cavs eliminated the Bulls in last season’s conference semifinals. Now, they look to spoil Fred Hoiberg’s Chicago coaching debut at the United Center.

Of course, the biggest emphasis will be on the play of both James and Rose. James, playing in his 13th NBA season, practiced each of the last two days after sitting out nearly two weeks for a lingering back injury. Rose, meanwhile, needed surgery to repair a fractured orbital suffered on the first day of practice.

Tipoff for the season-opener is slated for 8 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on TNT. Not going to be near a TV when the game starts? That’s totally cool. Here’s how to watch online and on mobile:
