(My Sportsbook) - The injury-riddled Milwaukee Bucks will resume a four-game road trip this evening against the Atlanta Hawks at Philips Arena. The Bucks have been without star guard Michael Redd (ankle) since earlier this month and he is out indefinitely. Center Andrew Bogut will miss at least a week of action because of a knee injury and guard Luke Ridnour (knee) is listed as questionable against the Hawks. Milwaukee is 1-1 so far on the trek and suffered a 108-101 loss to the Orlando Magic on Monday at Amway Arena. Richard Jefferson scored a game-high 25 points for the Bucks, who have dropped four of their last six games. Charlie Villanueva and Tyronn Lue netted 17 and 14 points, respectively, in defeat. Bogut left the game in the third quarter and posted 16 points. The Bucks will also visit Detroit on the current swing. Atlanta has dropped five of its last seven games and had a two-game winning streak stopped with Saturday's 110-96 loss to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena. Maurice Evans had 21 points off the bench to pace the Hawks while Acie Law finished with 20 points, seven assists and six rebounds in a reserve role. Joe Johnson was held to just four points on 1-of-8 shooting for Atlanta. Johnson is probable for Wednesday because of a sore foot. The Hawks have won two in a row as the host. Both teams split four matchups a year ago, but the Bucks are 10-5 in the previous 15 meetings. Milwaukee is winless in its last three games as the visitor in this series. |
