ATLANTA -- The Hawks are the home team against Milwaukee on Wednesday, but it is the Bucks who will be playing after a good nights sleep in Atlanta.The Bucks have been idle since a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans in Milwaukee on Saturday, while the Hawks are playing the second half of a back-to-back after stretching their winning streak to five games with a 93-90 victory Tuesday in Miami.The Hawks (8-2) are 2-0 in the finale of consecutive games this season, following up a loss at Washington with a home victory over Houston and starting their winning streak with victories at Cleveland and at home against Chicago.Atlanta, though, could be without Dwight Howard against the Bucks (5-4).The center sustained a left quad contusion late in the third quarter Tuesday against the Heat and didnt return.After the victory, Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer didnt rule out Howard being able to play against the Bucks. That may be a reach, however.Dwight took a knee to his knee area or just above his knee, Budenholzer said. Theres some swelling, and well just have to be aggressive in treating him and hopefully getting him ready to play (Wednesday). Well just see how the next 20 to 24 hours go.Howard was to get treatment on the trip back to Atlanta and will have more Wednesday before a decision is made on his status. He told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the injury was super painful.One of the keys to the Hawks good start this season has been their bench, and Mike Muscala likely would get the start if Howard cant go against the Bucks.Muscala scored 14 points in 22 minutes against the Heat, going 6 of 7 from the floor. He also had five rebounds, four assists and a steal.Howard would be a major loss if he cant play, though, especially on defense. The Hawks struggled mightily trying to contain Heat center Hassan Whiteside after the 6-foot-11 Howard left, with Paul Millsap finally having to take the role.Howard, who has been rejuvenated after signing with his hometown Hawks, had 11 points and 11 rebounds in 24 minutes for his eighth double-double. He came into the Heat game averaging 15.2 points and 12.4 rebounds.Bucks coach Jason Kidd wouldnt mind at all not having to face Howard.Hes playing like he did earlier in his career, the coach told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Hes dominating. Theyre looking for him and theyre finding him. He causes a big problem. You put shooters around him, and he causes an even bigger problem.The Bucks won the first two of their three games against the Hawks last season, with both victories requiring overtime.Jabari Parker had 28 points and 13 rebounds in a 117-109 double-OT win in Atlanta after Giannis Antetokounmpo recorded 28 points and 16 rebounds to lead a 108-101 victory at Milwaukee.Antetokounmpo, a 6-foot-11 native of Greece, is off to a breakout start as a 21-year-old in his fourth NBA season. He leads the Bucks in scoring (21.3), rebounds (8.3), blocks (2.1) and steals (2.0) while ranking second in assists (5.3).In Milwaukees 106-96 victory over Memphis on Saturday, Antetokounmpo bounced back from a couple of so-so games with 27 points, six rebounds, five assists, four steals and four blocks in 30 minutes.It felt good, Antetokounmpo said after the victory. My teammates wanted me to get back in rhythm, and I did whatever it took to get back in rhythm. They told me from day one they need me.The Hawks placed six players in double figures against the Heat and have had at least five reach that level in every game except one.I just feel like we have a lot of guys who are playing well right now, a lot of guys playing with a lot of confidence, Budenholzer said.

Cincinnati had a relatively easy time winning its season opener.The No. 24 Bearcats should expect a stiffer challenge Monday night when they host a talented Albany squad as part of the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame Tip-Off.Sophomore swingman Jacob Evans scored 23 points and junior Kyle Washington added 16 with 12 rebounds as Cincinnati shot 57.9 percent and used a 43-23 advantage on the glass to dispatch of Brown 84-55 on Friday.Our goal is to be the team that plays harder than the other team, said coach Mick Cronin, whose Bearcats entered the AP poll Monday after being the first of others receiving votes in the preseason Top 25.Everybody plays hard. We have got to play harder than the other guy.Cronin and his group should make it a point to maintain that form against Albany, which opened with an 87-81 victory at Penn State on Friday. The Great Danes, whose run of three straight NCAA Tournament appearances ended last season, led by 19 with just over 12 minutes to play before holding on for their first win over a Big Ten team.We had some guys step up and play really well, said Albany coach Will Brown, whose team shot 49.2 percent and outrebounded the Nittany Lions 43-26.Well put this win in our back packet and go play a big Cincinnati team.This is the first meeting between the schools, and another opportunity for the Bearcats veterans to prove how determined they are after losing three of their final four games -- including the American Athletic Conference and NCAA tournaments -- to end last season. Cincinnnati returns three starters and 11 letterwinners from the 2015-16 team that went 22-11 and reached the NCAAs for a sixth consecutive campaign.ddddddddddddThey have experience, Brown coach Mike Martin said. They are ranked in the Top 25 for a reason.Added to that experience is North Carolina State transfer Washington, who made a strong first impression and presents another potent contributor Albany must deal with.I play for my teammates and Im not just saying that to say it, said Washington, who averaged just 5.8 points and 4.0 rebounds in 70 games over his two seasons with the Wolfpack.I was just trying to be there defensively and execution wise, everything came through. But, yeah, it was worth it for sure.Evans, meanwhile, picked up where he left off last season, when he scored 26 in the 78-76 loss to Saint Josephs in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. In his last two games, Evans has gone 19 of 32 from the field, including 9 of 15 from 3-point range.He is a great player, Cronin said. You guys are just seeing Jacob Evans scratching the surface.Jacob is in tremendous shape, he had a great offseason, and he is extremely smart in basketball so he does not need the reps like the other guys.Albany sophomore guard Joe Cremo had 22 points, 10 rebounds and five assists while making his first collegiate start Friday.The Great Danes were predicted to finish third in the America East.
