Despite losing five of their last six road games, the 76ers come into Wednesday's game with three straight wins over the Bucks and consecutive victories at the Bradley Center. Philadelphia outscored Milwaukee 26-15 in the fourth quarter of a 93-88 win on Dec. 17 by holding Bucks star Michael Redd to six points on 2-of-13 shooting for the game.

However, the 76ers will face a Milwaukee team that has won seven of its last eight home games. The Bucks have held opponents to 89.9 points per game in that time and outscored them by a 12.4-point average margin.

"We're playing with a lot of confidence at home," forward Charlie Villanueva said. "We're starting to protect our home court. You can't lose at home. That's our mentality."

They opened the homestand Monday by rallying for a 107-97 victory over Toronto. Milwaukee didn't allow a point over the final 2:11, outscoring the Raptors 13-0.

Redd scored a season-high 35 points in that stretch, and Villanueva added 13 of his 25 in the fourth quarter. He has reached the 30-point mark in two of the past three games and has averaged 25.6 over his past five.

The Bucks may not have starting center Andrew Bogut for a third straight game due to back spasms. Monday's win marked their first without Bogut in the lineup since April 16, 2007, a run of nine straight losses.

Milwaukee is 4-21 without Bogut since March 21, 2007.

"Andrew's a very important piece to what we're trying to do," Villanueva said. "Any win we can get without him is a great win. Andrew's a great player and hopefully he comes back soon."

After ending the disastrous 1-5 road trip Saturday, the 76ers returned home for a 104-96 victory Tuesday over Houston as Andre Iguodala tied his season high with 28 points.

"We slid a little bit in the standings and we've got to get back there," Iguodala said. "The only way to get back there is go get games. You've got to go get it and that's what we're trying to do."

Iguodala, who leads Philadelphia with 16.2 points per game, has scored 22 or more in the last four games. The 76ers swingman is also averaging 20.1 points over the last 17 games after scoring 13.0 points per game through the first 17 this season.

"I'm warming up a little bit and starting to get that feel that I've been trying to get all year," he said. "It's just about being aggressive again and attacking the basket."

The last time Philadelphia won consecutive games was a stretch of three straight victories that included the December win over Milwaukee. Louis Williams came off the bench to score a team-leading 25 points in that game, and is averaging 16.5 points over his last 15.
