Milwaukee Bucks (7-3) At Memphis Grizzlies (4-8), 8 P.M.

(Sports Network) - The surprising Milwaukee Bucks hit the road after a very successful homestand Saturday when they face the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum.

The Bucks, who are kicking off a four-game road trip, finished a six-game residency on a positive note Friday when Brandon Jennings continued his standout rookie season with 29 points and seven assists, as Milwaukee defeated Charlotte, 95-88.

Hakim Warrick had 16 points and nine rebounds, and Ersan Ilyasova chipped in 13 points for the Bucks, who finished 5-1 on the homestand and trail first- place Cleveland in the Central Division by only a half-game in the early going.

Milwaukee, already minus its leading scorer over the past six seasons in Michael Redd, is now also toiling without the club's leading rebounder, Andrew Bogut, who suffered a lower left leg strain and contusion in Wednesday's win versus New Jersey. The 7-footer is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks.

"[We're] a deep team," Warrick said. "When someone goes down, other people are going to have to step up. Collectively, we have to go out and do all the little things."

The Bucks will also visit San Antonio, New Orleans and Oklahoma City on their trek.

The Grizzlies are also entering tonight's contest in positive fashion after securing their first road win of the season in Philadelphia on Friday. Rudy Gay dropped in 33 points in that one to lead Memphis to a 102-97 win over the 76ers at the Wachovia Center.

Gay also pulled down 10 rebounds, while Zach Randolph chipped in 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who have won three straight for the first time this season. Marc Gasol added 19 points and eight rebounds for Memphis, which shot 51.9 percent from the floor and won the battle on the glass, 48-28.

"It's huge for a young team like we are," Gay said about the win. "Hopefully there are a lot more to come. We're helping each other out and that's the key to winning."

Memphis snapped a five-game losing streak in this series by winning the final contest between the two teams last season, a 107-102 triumph in Milwaukee.
