The Bucks are trying to survive without Michael Redd, while the San Antonio Spurs are trying to adjust to life without Tony Parker.

So far, so good for the Spurs. In their first game since Parker sprained his left ankle the Spurs used an 11-0 run to open the fourth quarter to defeat New York 92-80 on Tuesday night. Coach Gregg Popovich went with a makeshift lineup that included Bruce Bowen coming off the bench for the first time in 550 games with the Spurs.

Milwaukee played its fourth straight game without Redd on Tuesday and dropped its third in a row with a 99-93 loss to Cleveland. Before a 96-94 loss to the Spurs on March 1, 2008, the Bucks had won eight of the previous 11 meetings in Milwaukee. Get your NBA odds in the Bodog Sportsbook today.
