ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Brandon Jennings, Shooting guard Charlie Bell, Small forward John Salmons, Power forward Luc Mbah a Moute, Center Andrew Bogut. Bench -- Guard Luke Ridnour, Forward Ersan Ilyasova, Guard Jerry Stackhouse, Center Kurt Thomas, Guard Royal Ivey, Center Primoz Brezec.
PLAYER NOTES:
--G Charlie Bell stepped into the starting lineup Wednesday night because of an injury to F Carlos Delfino. Bucks' officials said Delfino had a sore left ankle and foot. He wore a walking boot during the team's shoot-around. Bell started at shooting guard against the Clippers and John Salmons was moved to small forward. Bucks coach Scott Skiles said Delfino's injury didn't appear to be serious and felt he could have played if it was a playoff game.
--F Luc Mbah a Moute hasn't been much of an offensive contributor in recent weeks. Mbah a Moute finished with six points against the Clippers Wednesday night and now has scored just 38 points in the last six games.
--G Royal Ivey came off the bench and played 14 minutes against the Clippers Wednesday night. It marked just the second time he's seen court time in the last five games.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Michael Redd (torn ACL and MCL ligaments) underwent surgery March 2 and is out for the season.
--F Carlos Delfino (sore left ankle and foot) didn't play against the Clippers Wednesday night. His status is day-to-day.
--C Kurt Thomas played in his 950th NBA game Wednesday night against the Clippers and backup point guard Luke Ridnour appeared in his 500th NBA game.
--G Brandon Jennings continues to change his hairstyle. Last week, Jennings colored his hair orange down the middle. This week, he had his hair closely shaved.
--Bucks general manager John Hammond and Bucks assistant general manager Jeff Weltman accompanied the team on its West Coast trip. After watching Wednesday night's game against the Clippers, they planned to scout NCAA West Regional games in San Jose, Calif. Butler, UTEP, Vanderbilt and Murray State are competing in that regional.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Brandon is certainly deserving of any awards or accolades he might get. He's been a big, big part of our team. We'll hope other people recognize that." -- Bucks coach Scott Skiles, on G Brandon Jennings' chances of being Rookie of the Year.
The Bucks don't exactly have the easiest remaining schedule. Starting Friday night against the Kings at Sacramento, the Bucks will have 15 games left.
Of those 15 games, 10 of them will be against teams that currently have winning records. The Bucks, who are trying to secure a playoff spot for the first time in four seasons, haven't fared all that well against teams with winning records this season. In fact, they are just 13-18 against teams that are .500 on the day of the game.
The good news for the Bucks, though, is that the vast majority of their remaining games at home. The Bucks will play nine of their next 15 games in the Bradley Center, where they have gone 23-9 this season.
CLIPPERS 101, BUCKS 93: The Bucks' offense sputtered in the fourth quarter as they saw their six-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday night in Los Angeles. After scoring 31 points in the third quarter, the Bucks managed only 13 in the final period. Point guard Brandon Jennings and small forward John Salmons scored 21 and 20 points, respectively, for the Bucks. Bucks center Andrew Bogut also had a strong game, finishing with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
