On the Heat: Hot Hot Hoops / Peninsula is Mightier / ESPN Heat Index / South Florida Sun-Sentinel

After taking down the Miami Heat by a score of 91-82 in the first of three head-to-head matchups in the 2011-12 NBA season, the Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to claim the season series over LeBron James and company at the Bradley Center on Wednesday. This might be the biggest home game on the schedule before playoff implications come into play in April. Here's why: (1) the game features a marquee conference opponent with serious star power that should create a great atmosphere at the BC, (2) it will help to clarify where the Bucks stand after a surprising 5-2 surge in their last seven games, and (3) I'm terrified to attach any serious meaning to the upcoming home game against Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.

Update: Stephen Jackson has been suspended for tonight's game for "verbal abuse of a game official and failure to leave the court in a timely manner" in Friday night's loss to the Bulls, via NBA.com.

On the Rockets: The Dream Shake / Houston Chronicle / Clutch Fans

After losing their first eight road games of the season, the Bucks head to Houston looking for their third straight road win. It won't be easy though--while the Bucks slumped to a disappointing 97-92 loss against the Hawks at home on Monday, Houston has now won seven in a row and have lost just once in eight home games this season.

On The Hawks: Peachtree Hoops / Hoopinion / Hawks Str8Talk / Atlanta Journal Constitution

The Milwaukee Bucks haven't had a four-game winning streak since beating the Philadelphia 76ers on April 9th during the 2009-10 season. That's simply too long ago. However, if the Bucks hope to erase that gap and claim another such streak, they first need to secure a three-game winning streak in 2011-12. After Hawks center Al Horford suffered a season-ending injury (torn pectoral) in a loss to the Indiana Pacers, the Hawks ripped off their own four-game winning streak and have won five of their last six games. To even get to three in a row will not be easy for the Bucks.
