UP NEXT
Teams: Milwaukee Bucks (9-12) vs. Boston Celtics (18-2).

When: 6:30 tonight.

Where: TD Banknorth Garden, Boston.

Broadcasts: TV - FSN Wisconsin cable. Radio - AM-620.

About the Celtics: Boston can tie a franchise record for the best start to a season at home. If the Celtics beat the Bucks, they will have a 12-0 home mark, matching the 1984-'85 team, which advanced to the NBA Finals. The Celtics are riding a seven-game winning streak, including a 90-78 home-court victory over Sacramento on Wednesday night. Paul Pierce scored 26 points as the Celtics took control in the second half. "When they make that trip here and look at our record, we want them to think twice," Pierce said of NBA opponents. "That, in itself, is an intimidation factor."



PLAYER TO WATCH
GLEN DAVIS, Celtics

The 289-pound rookie from Louisiana State made his first pro start on Wednesday, with Kendrick Perkins injured. Kevin Garnett moved to center and Davis started in the power forward slot, in the first starting lineup change for the Celtics this season. The player affectionately called "Big Baby" responded with 16 points and nine rebounds against the Kings.
