PLAYER NOTES: --G Luke Ridnour has pretty much become a jump shooter in recent weeks. Ridnour, bothered by back and knee problems, didn't take a free throw against the Hawks Wednesday night. He has now gone to the line only seven times in the last five games.
--F Luc Mbah a Moute isn't only the team's best man-on-man defender, but he's emerged as one of the team's better rebounders. Mbah a Moute had eight rebounds against the Hawks and has grabbed 42 rebounds in the last five games.
--G Charlie Bell is normally a solid three-point shooter, but that hasn't been the case recently. Bell missed all three of his three-point attempts against the Hawks and has made only two of his last 18 three-point attempts.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Michael Redd (high right ankle sprain) missed his 13th straight game Wednesday night against the Hawks. Redd isn't traveling with the team and has remained in Milwaukee receiving treatment.
--G Luke Ridnour (sore right knee) returned to the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Hawks. Ridnour got hurt in the first half of Saturday night's game against the Bobcats and didn't play Monday night against the Magic.
--C Andrew Bogut (left knee contusion) didn't suit up against the Hawks and is expected to be out for at least a week. Bogut got hurt in Monday night's game against the Magic.
--G Charlie Bell (ankle and knee) is still bothered by both injuries.
