SCOUTING REPORT

This is the first of four games this season between last season's Eastern Conference semifinalists. Charlotte won the regular-season series last season 3-1, before falling in the playoffs in seven games.

Bucks guard Ray Allen (21.4 points) has missed the past three games and is day-to-day with tendinitis in his left knee. Milwaukee is 2-1 without him. Michael Redd started in Allen's spot in a Wednesday win over Atlanta and had 17 points and 11 rebounds.

For a second straight game, the Hornets will have their hands full defensively at small forward. After dealing with Michael Jordan (28 points) on Wednesday, now they'll face Glenn Robinson. He had 32 points and four third-quarter three-pointers against the Hawks.
