October 7 – @ Chicago Bulls

The Bucks are set to open their 2019 NBA preseason against their biggest rival, the Chicago Bulls, on Monday, October 7 for a 7 p.m. central time tilt at the United Center.

Scheduling a meeting against the Bulls is a yearly staple for every Bucks preseason and this will be the second straight year where the Bucks take on the Bulls to open up their preseason slate, after they hosted what was the first-ever game played at Fiserv Forum last October.

Opening up their 2019 preseason in the Windy City will give the Bucks their first look of a semi-revamped Bulls team that is looking to lift their youth movement off the ground, given that they went out and brought in veterans such as Tomas Satoransky and Thaddeus Young this offseason.

It will also serve as the first time that veteran big man Robin Lopez will get a chance to face up against his former club after spending the last three seasons wearing red and black before landing with the Bucks earlier this month.
