The Milwaukee Bucks certainly weren’t lacking in motivation to start the 2019-20 season, as they set off on righting the disappointments of last year’s Conference Finals, but they were facing up to a tough challenge in the early running.
The Bucks have been close to an ever present in terms of strength of schedule early in the season, and even beyond the quality of opponents Milwaukee has faced up until now, they haven’t had the luxury of playing all that many games at home.
As the Bucks return home to host the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday, they boast a stellar record of 11-3 in spite of only playing four games in Milwaukee to date.
