Preview: Friday night's loss at Boston was the Bucks' fifth in six games, a stretch that included a four-game losing streak on a West Coast road trip. The lone victory was over Orlando, which came to Milwaukee with the league's best road record. The Bucks are 7-2 at Bradley Center, 2-11 on the road. ... Milwaukee and Philadelphia are the only two teams to have used the same starting lineup every game this season.

Player to watch: Guard Michael Redd increased his scoring average in each of his first seven seasons, a streak in danger this year after he averaged 26.7 per game last season. He came within an assist of his first career triple-double in Wednesday's victory over Orlando.

Numbers: The Bucks are 5-0 this season when Redd gets five rebounds and five assists in a game.

Injuries: Wolves guard Greg Buckner's calf injury is better, but he remains out day to day. Bucks forwards David Noel (sprained wrist) and Michael Ruffin (fractured wrist) are out.
