MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- The Milwaukee Bucks are back at home for the first game of the season. There are still tickets available for the game, whether you want to sit courtside or you just want to be in the house for the excitement. 

There will also be some entertainment out in front of Fiserv to get fans excited about the season. Bucks president Peter Feigin says he's looking forward to welcoming people back to Fiserv and giving them a memorable experience.

The plaza at Deer District will be playing the game on big screens. They'll also have food, drinks and activities for people to come together to cheer on the team.

"I think the reality is we had a long break," said Bucks president Peter Feigin. You never want to lose in the first round of the playoffs. Like, you’ve got a championship caliber team -- you desperately want to start playing again."

Milwaukee is coming off of a road opening win at Philly.

The Bucks were firing on all cylinders after a full off-season in Coach Doc Rivers' system and Damian Lillard and Giannis really seemed to click. They each had at least 25 points, five assists and five rebounds, the first Bucks teammates ever to do that in an opener.

Most importantly, they seemed to mesh a lot better on the court. The role players were solid too. Taurean Prince made his first four threes, Bobby Portis had 13 in the first half, and Brook Lopez blocked six shots. Basically, the Bucks had an answer for anything Philly threw at them. Tonight, they'll get a Bulls team that they've dominated lately, winning 25 of the last 30 matchups.

"I think we've started to really grow with the IQ side of what are teams doing to us to stop guys who have tremendous talent - like Giannis, like Dame, like Khris, like Bobby, like a bunch of guys on our team. How are we able to capitalize on that, and then it's going to open up more things for them," Bucks guard Pat Connaughton said.
