Game Preview

A broken finger doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance for Kobe Bryant. Facing the Milwaukee Bucks hasn't really been a challenge for the Los Angeles Lakers star, either.

Coming off a season-high scoring effort, Bryant looks to continue his success against the Bucks on Wednesday night when the Western Conference-leading Lakers visit the Bradley Center.

Playing with a splint on the broken right index finger he suffered Friday against Minnesota, Bryant scored a season-high 42 points in Los Angeles' 96-87 win at Chicago on Tuesday. The victory was the 12th in 13 games for the Lakers (19-4), who bounced back after opening their five-game road swing with a 102-94 loss at Utah on Saturday.

Milwaukee, though, had won the previous two times it hosted Los Angeles at the Bradley Center.

While Bryant's star status is well established, the Bucks (11-11) have their own budding star thriving despite injury in rookie point guard Brandon Jennings.

Wearing a brace after hyperextending his knee, the 10th overall pick in the June draft had 18 points and 11 assists in Milwaukee's 108-101 double-overtime win over Portland on Saturday.

Andrew Bogut had a season-high 27 points and Luke Ridnour added 20 off the bench as the Bucks won their second straight game to improve to 9-3 at the Bradley Center. The 7-foot Bogut is averaging 21.3 points and 10.3 boards in his last three games.

Sorry Worthy, had to make the GT with 5 hrs to the game.

Should be a good test for our big men especially Drew going against Bogut, a former #1 pick and in top form.

Any chance you guys can let Jennings go off tonight? You'll still win anyways, but we need his ROY stats.

I'm excited to see the Lakers. They are my favorite team outside of my Bucks. Team basketball at its finest.

Fish has been practicing to help you out on this all year. You should see a 30-50 pts tonight.

EE had a great quote about this team a couple years ago. How they look like little green and red elves or something and he gets scared whenever we play them because they look so odd.

I wonder if he can dig that up.

This has big game for Jennings written all over it, hope I'm wrong.

Need to come out with energy on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Though with that effort nobody should be fatigued.

GO LAKERS!

drew thinks he's still guarding brad miller with his hunger for the pump fake.
