Notes
Brandan Wright is probable to make his season debut after being out since hurting his shoulder in the preseason. O.J. Mayo makes his return to Dallas after spending the 12-13 with the Mavs. The Bucks 5-18 record is currently the NBA's worst. Samuel Dalembert has really struggled of late, scoring only 3 points on 0-7 shooting in the last 3 games.
