Bucs vs. Bucks tonight, as the Hornets take on the only team they haven’t played this season, throwback style. Game tips a little after 7 p.m. Central. (Note that it was set for 6 p.m. but ESPN decided not to broadcast the game in favor of Magic-Pistons.)

The 28-32 Bucks are clinging to the final playoff spot in the East. They’ve lost three of four, including a 96-116 decision Wednesday at Dallas. Andrew Bogut (back) and Michael Redd (knee) are both out and have been for a while. Charlie Villanueva and Richard Jefferson are the main guns for Milwaukee right now.

As for the Hornets, we’re fully healthy at long last.
