Predicting Milwaukee Bucks' record through tough stretch to begin the season
By Rudy LB
Game Two - Bulls @ Bucks
This will be Chicago's first game of the year and will be Milwaukee's home opener. You can expect the Fiserv Forum crowd to be rocking. Chicago will have superstar guard Zach LaVine back in the lineup, but this writer expects Milwaukee to be able to take this one.
Chicago did add Josh Giddey to the fold, but it is hard to see him making a huge difference, especially since the price to acquire him cost the Bulls notorious Bucks enemy, Alex Caruso.
This should be a very winnable game for a team the Bucks faced in the preseason.
1-1
Game Three - Bucks @ Nets
Game three of the season has Milwaukee taking the low on the lowly Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn's going to be pretty bad this year. This should be a game that the Bucks should expect to win even though it is on the road. Milwaukee has always played well at the Barclays, and sometimes, they can play so cavernous that it won't really matter.
This game also starts an interesting three-game road trip for Milwaukee. The Brooklyn game on the trip almost feels like a must-win since the next two games are going to come up against harder opponents.
Look for the Brooklyn Nets to get some production from Cam Thomas. Who knows if Ben Simmons will be back? Again, this one should be a very winnable game for the Milwaukee Bucks.
2-1
