The Milwaukee Bucks will host the new-look Miami Heat Saturday afternoon, which will serve as the Bucks’ home opener for the 2019-20 NBA season.
Having kicked off their regular season with a signature comeback victory last time out, the Milwaukee Bucks will look to make their 2019-20 home opener a celebratory one when they host the Miami Heat at Fiserv Forum.
The Bucks’ collective second half heroics catapulted them to victory on Thursday night as they took down the Houston Rockets in their 117-111 win to open up their regular season account.

And with nearly everything going against them to start out the night, the Bucks will certainly look to establish a tone early on so they don’t have to face the level of adversity that they did in their regular season opener.
The Heat, meanwhile, come to Milwaukee holding a 1-0 start after edging past the Memphis Grizzlies in a 120-101 win Wednesday night to open up their 2019-20 campaign.
However, while they’ll look to topple the Bucks and make a mess of their home opener, they’ll have to do so at less than full strength, with their star newcomer Jimmy Butler slated to miss the action this Saturday afternoon, as we’ll get into shortly.
So without further ado, let’s dig into what to watch for in the Bucks’ clash against the Miami Heat Saturday afternoon.
