Nov. 14: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks

The mighty Bucks suffered their first loss of the season when they faced the Hawks last week. That was a game that the Bucks could have easily won since the Hawks were playing without their best player, Trae Young. Milwaukee’s Jrue Holiday had eight turnovers in that game, so look for him to have a cleaner contest this time around.

Nov. 16: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

This will be a battle between teams that could be in the top five in the East by the season’s end. The highlights from Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell will bring an electric atmosphere into the arena. Fundamental to Cleveland’s rise in the past few weeks has been the addition of Mitchell. Now, Milwaukee’s fans can see what he is all about.

Nov. 16: Phoenix Suns vs. Golden State Warriors

The last time the Warriors went to Arizona to play the Suns, fans in the arena were ecstatic to see the heated exchange between Devin Booker and Klay Thompson. How hot was that battle? Well, there were trash-talking incidents and Thompson got ejected for the first time in his career. Expect the fans to see a sequel of this Booker-Thompson showdown.

Nov. 18: Philadelphia 76ers vs. Milwaukee Bucks

These teams met and had a thrilling game on the third day of the season. It was a win for the Bucks, but everyone knows that they blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter and that they needed a Wesley Matthews three-pointer to ice the game. The Sixers let that win slip away and are looking forward to this revenge game.

Nov. 19: Indiana Pacers vs. Orlando Magic

When Orlando’s Paolo Banchero faced fellow rookie Jabari Smith Jr. of the Houston Rockets last week, everyone expected an exciting battle. In the end, Banchero thoroughly outplayed Smith. Fortunately, fans won’t have to wait long for another blockbuster rookie matchup. When the Pacers host Orlando’s team, people in the arena will be eyeing the showdown between Banchero and Bennedict Mathurin. Stats will show that these two are the top rookies so far this year. The only thing we have to worry about is Banchero’s availability.
