The Milwaukee Bucks will be back on the court in a regular-season contest on Friday, July 31. They square off against the Boston Celtics a day after Utah and Orlando tip off a schedule featuring 22 teams that will determine playoff seeding. Six teams will be eliminated with a traditional 16-game playoff bracket set by August 14. The NBA postseason will not be divided by conference this season. Instead, it’s merely the 16 best teams. Milwaukee had the league’s best mark in March when play was suspended.
