1st place, Central Division
The Bucks enter this game undefeated at the Bradley Center and at first place in the Central Division, off to their best start since 2001-02. Michael Redd is again among the league leaders in scoring, currently ranked eighth in the NBA with 24.5 ppg. Mo Williams paces the Bucks with 7.3 apg, also good for eighth in the NBA. As a team, Milwaukee is ranked in the top 10 in the league with 22.0 apg (8th in the NBA). Rookie center Yi Jianlian has averaged 9.8 ppg and 6.2 rpg over the first 11 games of his NBA career and former No. 1 overall selection Adrew Bogut is averaging 12.5 ppg and 8.6 rpg. Milwaukee follows this game up with a trip to Atlanta on Wednesday.
Strength - The Bucks are ranked 5th in the NBA in blocks per game with 5.6.
Weakness - Milwaukee is ranked 25th in the NBA in steals per game with 6.1
Key Match-Up Milwaukee center Andrew Bogut vs. 76ers center Samuel Dalembert. Bogut comes into this game having scored in double-figures for 10 consecutive games. Over his last five games Bogut is averaging 17.2 ppg on 54.2 shooting from the floor. Dalembert, who had two blocks and 10 rebounds in last Saturday’s game against Golden State, could use his shot blocking prowess and rebounding skills to keep Bogut in check and take away his presence inside.
Opposing Player to Watch
Mo Williams is averaging 19.0 ppg over his last three games, as well as averaging 9.0 apg. Williams loves to penetrate to the basket and look for weapons like Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut and Yi Jianlian once the defense collapses on him. He’ll be somebody the Sixers have to keep under wraps if they’re to leave Milwaukee with a win. .
