Andrew Bogut is playing better around the basket this season and the Bucks are benefitting from that. Bogut has played in 13 games so far this season and he has averaged 31.2 minutes, 12.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. The Bucks need Bogut to stay healthy and keep playing good defense if they are to surprise this season.

The Bucks will be without reserve power forward Michael Ruffin for the next 4-6 weeks as he has a broken wrist. Ruffin has only played in 6 games this season and he has averaged 7.7 minutes, 0.8 points and 1.0 rebound per game. Ruffin was buried on the depth chart behind Yi Jianlian and Charlie Villanueva so they shouldn’t miss him much.
