The Milwaukee Bucks face the Chicago Bulls tonight in a preseason matchup at the United Center.
Having started the preseason 2–0 after wins over the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons, Milwaukee will feature Giannis Antetokounmpo tonight for the first time this preseason to debut him alongside new roster pieces.
Chicago, also 2–0 in preseason play, is eager to test its depth and defensive schemes against one of the league’s top-tier rosters.
Kevin Porter Jr., one of the Bucks’ key offseason additions, has impressed early—shooting a perfect 4-for-4 with two threes and two assists in limited minutes against Detroit. With Giannis returning, Milwaukee will look to refine its offensive rhythm and spacing, building chemistry between its core stars and new rotation players.
Chicago, also 2–0 in preseason play, has shown encouraging signs of balance and ball movement. Ayo Dosunmu led the Bulls with 18 points and six assists in their win over Cleveland, while Jevon Carter added four threes and Matas Buzelis — averaging 15 points per game this preseason on 55% shooting — continues to impress as a rookie. Chicago’s defense has been notably active, forcing 13 steals against the Cavaliers, and tonight offers a valuable test against one of the NBA’s most efficient offensive teams.
The Bucks will aim to maintain pace, spacing, and efficiency while balancing star minutes with developmental opportunities for their supporting cast. For Chicago, the spotlight falls on its young core and bench depth — players like Buzelis and Collins have a chance to prove they can contribute in meaningful minutes against elite competition. Expect the Bulls to push tempo and challenge Milwaukee’s defense early, while the Bucks use the game to tighten rotations and integrate Giannis into live action before the regular season tips off.
