LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- After playing some of their bestbasketball earlier in the season, the Milwaukee Bucks and LosAngeles Clippers have both fallen on hard times.


The Bucks and Clippers look to end their respective losingstreaks when they meet at the Staples Center on Tuesday.

Milwaukee reeled off five straight wins from November 14-24,including a road win over defending Eastern Conference championCleveland Cavaliers and a home victory over the DallasMavericks, which had the league's best record last season.

Since their win over Dallas, however, the Bucks have lost fourin a row, including double-digit home losses after a 6-0 startat home.


Like Milwaukee, the Clippers had their own impressive stretch atthe beginning of the season as they opened with four straightwins, but have since lost nine of 11 and are currently mired ina five-game skid.


After averaging 109 points per game during their 4-0 start, LosAngeles has scored just 91.2 points since. One player thatcannot be blamed for their recent inability to win is centerChris Kaman, who had 22 points and 22 rebounds in Sunday's101-95 loss to the Indiana Pacers.


Kaman, who never averaged more than 12 points and 9.6 reboundsduring his previous four seasons with the Clippers, is averagingsome impressive totals this campaign with 18.7 points and 14.1rebounds in 2007.
