A look at the Milwaukee Bucks 2023-2024 regular season schedule
On Thursday, the NBA released its full schedule of games, giving fans a glimpse of when their favorite teams would play the most intriguing games. The Milwaukee Bucks are no doubt eager to embark on their regular season campaign, beginning with a matchup against fellow Eastern Conference powerhouse Philadelphia 76ers on November 26th.
Match-ups to watch out for
There’s no use beating around the bush: the Bucks and its legion of fans are eager to face off against the team that unceremoniously ousted them from the first round of the NBA Playoffs last season—the Miami Heat. The two teams will face off for the first time next season on November 28th in Miami. However, it remains to be seen what the Heat’s roster would look like by then. It’s no secret that Portland’s Damian Lillard has been linked to Miami in recent weeks, so the Bucks will no doubt be keenly assessing the situation.
Another match-up the Bucks will no doubt be looking forward to is their showdown with the Boston Celtics on November 22nd at the TD Garden. The Celtics present a massive challenge to the Bucks, especially after acquiring All-Star center Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards in the offseason.
Giannis is the difference
Despite these challenges, the Bucks remain confident that they can make a run at a title this season. With two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the charge, the Bucks will have a fair chance at the NBA title this upcoming season.
“As long as the Bucks have a healthy Antetkounmpo, they will be fine. He's a walking 50-win season, the game's best player, and likely will remain so for the foreseeable future,” Tyler Conway of Bleacher Report wrote.
