Michael Redd will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a patellar injury to his left knee. He will be impossible for the Bucks to replace as he is by far the best player on the Bucks team. Redd is averaging 27.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists so far this season.

Ruben Patterson and Charlie Bell will be asked to pick up the slack with Redd out. Patterson is averaging 13.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game this season. Charlie Bell is averaging 11.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game this season.Â

Charlie Villanueva received a cortisone shot in his shoulder to deal with a tendinitis problem. He will miss at least another week. The Bucks really need to get Villanueva healthy to justify the trade they made with the Raptors. He’s averaging 12.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

Ruben Patterson has really played well off the bench for the Bucks lately. Patterson has shot 60% from the floor and has averaged 15.8 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in his last 6 games. The Bucks are playing better on offense with Patterson providing firepower off the bench, so he will likely stay in that role even though he plays as much as a starter.

The Bucks went into the 4th quarter with a 74-68 lead, but they were outscored 27-12 by the Cavs in the 4th. The Cavs also outrebouned the Bucks 47-39, which didn’t help the Bucks cause. Michael Redd led the way for the Bucks with 26 points and 5 rebounds. Andrew Bogut had a good game around the rim with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 steals.
