The home games against the Pistons and Thunder do not have start times yet, however.

The game against the Heat will be at 6:30 p.m. CT at the Kaseya Center and the game against the Bulls will be at 6 p.m. CT at the United Center.

Miami features Whitnall High School alumnus Tyler Herro, who made his first all-star team last season.

The Pistons have emerged as an Eastern Conference playoff contender after finishing four games behind the Bucks for the No. 6 spot in the East last year.

Chicago didn’t do much in the offseason and will likely again be in the mix for a play-in spot – though the Bulls did contribute to the Bucks’ rough start last year by starting a six-game losing streak for Milwaukee with a 133-122 win on Oct. 25.

The Thunder won the NBA championship last season by besting Indiana in seven games. Milwaukee beat Oklahoma City to win the NBA Cup in Las Vegas in December.
