The NBA regular season is only a couple of weeks old, but the new, in-season tournament is about to begin.
Friday marks the first day of Group Play games, as the Knicks and Bucks kick off a doubleheader of tournament contests. Group play is the first of two stages in the in-season tournament, with these group games happening on Tuesdays and Fridays throughout November.
The Milwaukee-New York matchup is one of four designated Group Play games for each squad. All 30 teams have been randomly divided into groups of five, with every team playing against each opponent in its group, with two games at home and two games on the road.
The Bucks and Knicks are in a group along with the Heat, Hornets and Wizards. The winners of each group, along with two wild card teams, advance out of group play to the knockout rounds.
