Milwaukee Bucks Scouting Report

The 76ers take on the Bucks tonight. Here's a short little look at the Bucks so you can get familiar with Milwaukee.

Milwaukee is on last place of their division at 18-28. The Bucks have lost seven of their last nine games. The last meeting between the 76ers and the Bucks, Milwaukee won 87-83. The Bucks are 5-21 away from home.

Milwaukee's latest struggles come without leading scorer Michale Redd who is out with a knee injury. Without Redd, the Bucks don't have much fire power.

Mo Williams is their second leading scorer at 16.7 points per game and leads the team in assists at 6.7 per game.

Their front court features a diverse group of players. An alien (Charlie Villaneuva), a Chinese man (Yi Jianlian), and an Australian (Andrew Bogut). Together they form a solid group of fairly young forwards.

In the backcourt, Charlie Bell (the link is definitely worth a read) joins Mo Williams. It's been recently documented that Bell is having one of the worst season ever in the NBA.

Despite Philadelphia's struggles since the Kyle Korver trade, the 76ers should have the upper hand in this game since Milwaukee has not been playing well on the road and without Michael Redd.
