The full schedule is here, and this is the weekend ahead:

Jan. 27: vs. Milwaukee Bucks (7:00 p.m. CT, WCIU)
It's the first meeting of the season between these two teams; Brandon Jennings leads the Bucks in scoring, while Andrew Bogut leads in rebounding.

Jan. 29: at Miami Heat (2:30 p.m. CT, ABC)
The Bulls and Heat tangled in the playoffs last season, with the Heat prevailing, and this could prove a preview of a playoff rematch in 2012. These two franchises could be primed to battle for Eastern Conference supremacy for years to come.
