The Milwaukee Bucks will start their NBA 2019-20 season against Houston Rockets on Friday, October 25. Let us take a look at their team profile, changes & form.

Milwaukee Bucks will start their NBA 2019-20 season with a few changes. In the pre-season draft, they bought back Brook Lopez, Khris Middleton and part-time closer George Hill successfully. However, they lost Malcolm Brogdon to Indiana Pacers. Nikola Mirotic has also returned to the EuroLeague. Instead, the Bucks have signed on a trio of veterans – Wesley Matthews, Kyle Korver and Robin Lopez. Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Dragan Bender are two more additions to their revamped roster. Thanasis will be uniting with his younger brother Giannis for the very first time in the NBA.

The Bucks have had a good pre-season, winning all their five games. They won the games with a combined 80-point margin. Dragon Bender was an integral part of their victories. Bender averaged 10.4 points on 17-of-28 shooting from the field (60.7 percent), 7-for-13 from three (53.8 percent), 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocks over his 15 minutes per game across his five pre-season appearances. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ersan Ilyasova also played well during the pre-season games and will be key players to watch out for, yet again.
