November 6 – at LA Clippers

Four days after facing off against the team that won it all last year, the Bucks will meet against the key piece that stood at the front of ending their 60-win campaign last season.

Milwaukee will take on the revamped LA Clippers on Wednesday, November 6 for a nationally televised duel that will be the first of two meetings next season between the two clubs (the second will come on Friday, December 6 at Fiserv Forum).

The Clippers sent shockwaves throughout the NBA last month when they acquired a 1-2 punch in two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, as well as 2019 MVP finalist Paul George, all of which capped off an incredible two-year retool that comes off the heels of a 49-win season last year.

Now as the Clippers vie for legitimacy within their own city as well as the NBA, this early November duel may serve as a potential NBA Finals preview next year. But that may be getting ahead of ourselves at the moment.
