ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Luke Ridnour, Shooting guard Michael Redd, Small forward Richard Jefferson, Power forward Charlie Villanueva, Center Andrew Bogut. Bench -- Center Dan Gadzuric, Forward Malik Allen, Guard Charlie Bell, Guard Tyronn Lue, Forward Richard Mbah a Moute.
PLAYER NOTES: --F Luc Richard Mbah a Moute has already raised a lot of eyebrows with the Bucks' brass. Mbah a Moute, the team's second-round draft pick, has been the team's best defender, according to Bucks coach Scott Skiles. Mbah a Moute played extensively in the Bucks' first two games against the Bulls and Thunder.
--G Luke Ridnour had a much better outing against the Thunder than he did against the Bulls in the season opener Tuesday night in Chicago. Ridnour, who had five turnovers against the Bulls, effectively ran the Bucks' offense against the Thunder and didn't have any turnovers in 25 minutes.
--G Michael Redd has been even more offensive-minded this season. Redd took 19 shots against the Bulls -- and scored 30 points -- and against the Thunder, Redd took 18 shots and finished with 20 points.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Luke Ridnour (tightness in the back and tendinitis in his right knee) started again against the Thunder and played 24 minutes.
--C Andrew Bogut (sprained left ankle) started against the Thunder and played 31 minutes.
