What to Know

The Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET October 19th at Fiserv Forum to kick off their 2021 seasons. The Nets are coming off of a 48-24 season with hopes of advancing further than the second round of the playoffs, where they were eliminated by Milwaukee 115-111 in game seven. Likewise, Milwaukee was 46-26 last season and, of course, is the reigning champ after their 105-98 win over the Phoenix Suns in game six of the NBA finals.

A couple last-season offensive stats to keep an eye on: Brooklyn was the best in field goal percentage, finishing the 2020-2021 season at 49.40%. Milwaukee displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they ranked first in the league in points per game, closing the year with 120.1 on average.
