Revamped Bucks visit Pistons
Basketball Betting Lines
02/19/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Newly-acquired guard John Salmons is expected to join the
Milwaukee Bucks tonight, when they close out their season series with the
Central Division-rival Detroit Pistons at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
The Bucks added Salmons just before Thursday's trade deadline and sent
forwards Hakim Warrick and Joe Alexander to the Chicago Bulls, getting the
former Miami-Florida hoopster and second-round picks in 2011 and 2012 in
return. Salmons averaged 12.7 points in 51 games with the Bulls. Milwaukee
general manager John Hammond also made a move with the Philadelphia 76ers and
acquired guard Royal Ivey, center Primoz Brezec and a second-round pick in the
2010 draft for rookie guard Jodie Meeks and center Francisco Elson.
Milwaukee hopes the moves will eventually pay off as it currently sits two
games out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. It
has dropped two of its last three games and suffered a 127-99 defeat at the
hands of the Houston Rockets on Wednesday at the Bradley Center. The Rockets
used a 43-14 third quarter to erase the Bucks, who got 18 points and eight
boards from Luc Mbah a Moute. Rookie Brandon Jennings netted 13 points, while
Luke Ridnour and Andrew Bogut each had 12 in defeat.
"We just didn't play well," Bogut said. "We stuck with them in every category
except field goal percentage. I think we were out-rebounding them in the first
half, had more blocked shots and more steals. But they shoot fifty percent in
the first half and sixty percent for the game and they bombarded us with
three's in the third quarter and blew the game wide open."
Bogut has blocked a shot in 17 consecutive games, the longest current blocks
streak in the NBA. Milwaukee is only 8-19 as the guest this season.
Detroit will open a short homestand Friday versus the Bucks and Spurs, and
owns a 13-15 record at The Palace this season. It made no moves at the trade
deadline and has lost eight of the last 12 games, including Wednesday's 116-91
loss at Orlando despite a season-high 36 points from Richard Hamilton.
Hamilton also registered five rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes, and is
23-23 from the free-throw line in his last four games.
"I thought we did a great job for a couple of quarters," Hamilton said. "I
thought we let the refs get to us on a couple of calls in the fourth quarter."
Tayshaun Prince and Jonas Jerebko both ended with 13 points in defeat, while
Prince is recording 16.3 points in his last four contests. Detroit's bench is
averaging 35.9 points in the last 37 games, but had just 13 points from its
reserves in the loss to the Magic.
The Pistons lead the season series with Milwaukee by a 2-1 count and have won
16 of the previous 21 matchups between the division foes. The Bucks are 2-11
in their last 13 games at The Palace.
