26-year old guard Shaun Livingston has stepped into the starting lineup in the last four games for the Bucks and they are 3-1 in those games.  He is averaging 10.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in his four starts.  Livingston has now played in 17 games (4 starts) for the Bucks so far this year and he is averaging 23.1 minutes, 7.5  points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game.  He is also shooting and amazing 54.5% from the floor.  I look for the Bucks to keep starting Livingston as long as they are winning and he is playing well.

The Bucks will be without 27-year old center Andrew Bogut indefinitely due to a fractured left ankle.  Bogut has played in 12 games (all starts) for the Bucks so far this year and he is averaging 30.3 minutes, 11.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steal and 2.0 blocked shots per game.  30-year old Drew Gooden will likely be Bogut’s replacement in the starting lineup.  Gooden has played in 15 games (5 starts) for the Bucks so far this year and he is averaging 18.7 minutes, 8.5 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.  The Bucks really hope that Gooden steps up because Bogut is going to be hard to replace.
