CAN'T BUY ME LOVE, BUT FREE THROWS ARE FREE – The Bucks rank among the league's best at the free throw line this season – 3rd in the NBA – shooting 78.8 percent as a team. Individually, six Bucks players are shooting 80 percent or better, including the player on the team with the most attempts this year: Drew Gooden: 83-97, 85.6%, 19th in NBA Stephen Jackson: 48-58, 82.8% Mike Dunleavy: 40-50, 80.0% Shaun Livingston: 35-41, 85.4% Luc Mbah a Moute: 30-36, 83.3% Jon Leuer: 17-21, 81.0% As a team, the Bucks have failed to shoot at least 70 percent from the line just once in the last 16 games.

ALWAYS GOT TO STEAL THE BALL FROM YOU – Milwaukee has consistently ranked among the best in the NBA this season for opponent turnovers per game, currently sitting at No. 8 with 16.07. After forcing their opponent to cough up the ball, the Bucks don't waste the possession, averaging 18 points per game off turnovers which is good for eighth in the NBA.

ALL'S FAIR IN LOVE AND BASKETBALL – Milwaukee ranks 6th in the NBA in offensive rebounds per game, grabbing an average of 12.11. New Orleans ranks 2nd in the NBA in opponent offensive rebounds per game, allowing only 9.93. When these two teams meet on Wednesday, something will have to give in the rebounding battle. Only time can tell which side will prevail on Wednesday night.

OK TO BE ON THE REBOUND – Ersan Ilyasova has been a rebounding machine in recent weeks, grabbing at least one offensive board in a career-best 18 straight games and posting 10+ rebounds in four of his last seven games. Those raw numbers are even more impressive when considering that Ersan has done it all in a reserve role and hasn't played more than 35 minutes in a game yet this season. Ersan already owns the top-two rebounding games by a reserve this season (and three of the top 10) and ranks second in the league in double-digit rebounding efforts by a reserve.
