After a quick off-season, the NBA is set to return soon. The defending champions Milwaukee Bucks will go all guns blazing to retain their crown. However, their path to glory will not be easy. Giannis Antetokounmpo and co. have a tough set of fixtures ahead of them. Right from the onset, many challenging games await the champions.

Last season, the men in green were aided by quality play from Giannis. Along with him, the likes of Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez also made some valuable contributions. This time around, their mainstays will return fresh and ready to go again. With that being said, they will have to get going right from game one. Let’s take a closer look at what the Bucks‘ season ahead looks like.

What are the key Milwaukee Bucks fixtures in 2021-22?

In their very first game of the new edition, the reigning winners will lock horns against the Brooklyn Nets. In a repeat of last year’s final, it will be Giannis vs Durant yet again, on the 19th of October. This battle of the trios will kickoff at 7:30 PM EST.
