NETS STARTERS
The starting lineup will be  Deron Williams playing alongside  Shaun Livingston in the backcourt with  Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce up front and the man in the middle Mason Plumlee.

Brooklyn is looking for some consistency to end the circus road trip with a winning record after alternating wins and losses the entire trip.

The last two games have been from one extreme to another getting blown out by 44 points by the Trailblazers and then blowing out the Nuggets the next night by 23 points.

BUCKS STARTERS

The Bucks starting lineup will be Brandon Knight and Nate Wolters in the backcourt with Khris Middleton, Ersan Ilyasova and  Zaza Pachulia playing in the frontcourt.

The Bucks got a much needed win when they went to Philadelphia earlier in the week and destroyed the hapless and tanking 76ers 130-110 which was their highest point total of the season.

The Bucks waived Caron Butler earlier in the week and traded for Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrien to try to shake up ten struggling franchise.

Game Notes:

If the Nets win it will be their third straight in Milwaukee and they haven’t done that since 1994.

A win would also be Brooklyn’s fifth straight againt ths Bucks.

The Nets would finish their current six-game road trip at 4-2 with a win.

[quote_simple]WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Maintain the focus

The Nets have alternated wins and losses throughout this road trip and consistency is something that this team is in dire need of as there are only 26 big games left.

The Jekyll-Hyde personality has to be growing thin on the players as it sure is with the fans.

This team should not need to be screamed at by the coach like they were after the Portland game to make sure they were focused and ready to play.
