    The Milwaukee Bucks (1-0) welcome the Chicago Bulls (0-1) for their home opener tonight at Fiserv Forum.

    Damian Lillard scored 13 points in the first frame to help the Bucks take a 32-30 lead. With just under two minutes left, Milwaukee led by eight points, but the Bulls closed with a 6-0 run.

    Milwaukee came out of its season-opening win over Philadelphia a bit banged up as starting shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. suffered a right calf bruise and Brook Lopez suffered a right quadriceps bruise. However, head coach Doc Rivers said both will be available for the game against Chicago. The Bucks are already without starting forward Khris Middleton.

    Is Giannis playing?

    He is available. The MVP candidate will likely play with right patella tendonitis. He overcame the injury in Wednesday's season opener, scoring 25 points and grabbing 14 rebounds in the Bucks' win.

    Bucks injury report

    • Khris Middleton is out (surgery on both ankles)
    • Gary Trent Jr., available (right calf contusion)
    • Brook Lopez, probable (right quadriceps contusion)
    • Giannis Antetokounmpo, probable (right patella tendinitis)

    Bucks starting lineup

    • Guards: Damian Lillard, Gary Trent

    • Center: Brook LopezInactive: Khris Middleton, Liam Robbins, Stanley Umude.
