Bucks learn their schedule in group play for re-branded Emirates NBA Cup

The Milwaukee Bucks know their path to potentially win the re-branded Emirates NBA Cup.

The NBA announced on Tuesday the schedule for group play of the in-season tournament that has a new sponsor for next season.

The league already released the groups last month. The Bucks landed in East Group B along with the Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons.

What is the Bucks' schedule for the Emirates NBA Cup?

The Bucks have two home games and two on the road in group play.

Emirates Cup games will be scheduled on Tuesdays and Fridays from mid-November through early December.

Here is the Bucks' schedule for group play:

  • Nov. 12: Bucks vs. Raptors

  • Nov. 22: Bucks vs. Pacers

  • Nov. 26: Bucks at Heat

  • Dec. 3: Bucks at Pistons

The top two teams from the six groups, along with two wild cards, advance to the quarterfinals in home markets on Dec. 10 and 11.

Like last season, the semifinals and finals will be in Las Vegas on Dec. 14 and 17.

How did the Bucks do last season in the in-season tournament?

The Bucks went 4-0 in group play, earning an extra home game at Fiserv Forum.

Milwaukee beat the New York Knicks at home in the quarterfinals, then lost to the Indiana Pacers in the semifinals in Las Vegas.
