11/22/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks embark on a four-game road trip Saturday when they meet the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Charlie Villanueva, who had missed the previous four games with a strained left hamstring, scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds Friday to lead the Bucks in a 104-87 victory over the short-handed New York Knicks.
The Knicks were without a number of players after making a couple of big trades on Friday, including a deal that sent guard Jamal Crawford to the Golden State Warriors for forward Al Harrington. Later, the Knicks swapped forward Zach Randolph and guard Mardy Collins to the Los Angeles Clippers for guard Cuttino Mobley and forward Tim Thomas.
Andrew Bogut scored 14 points and hauled in 17 boards for the Bucks, who snapped a three-game skid. Ramon Sessions had 15 points and 10 helpers, while Richard Jefferson ended with 11 points for Milwaukee.
The Bucks will also visit Orlando, Atlanta and Detroit on the trek.
Milwaukee, which owns a 3-5 mark on the road, is still playing without star guard Michael Redd (ankle), who is listed as questionable for tonight's game.
The Bobcats dropped their third straight game Friday when Joe Johnson scored 30 points and doled out eight assists to lead the Hawks in an 88-83 victory over Charlotte in Atlanta.
Rookie D.J. Augustin had 26 points and seven assists for the Bobcats, who have lost five of six overall. Gerald Wallace had 17 points and 10 boards, while Emeka Okafor grabbed 11 rebounds.
Bobcats swingman Jason Richardson is still out after undergoing right knee surgery and is expected to miss Saturday's game.
The Bucks have won two straight games over Charlotte after losing their previous three meetings with the Bobcats.

Academy Award Betting Odds for Best Picture Offer Great Value
If there is any category that is not an obvious win for any one nominee in this year's Academy Awards, it would be for Best Picture. Sure the Departed is a 5/7 favorite, but that's hardly anything when we look at Helen Mirren and her "out-of-reach" 1 to 40 odds (which means you would win a whopping $1 for every $40 bet).
For value, take a look at MySportsbook.com Oscars betting odds on my personal favorite, The Queen - a remarkable 12 to 1 long shot. The film hasn't won any pre-awards for Best Picture (compared to The Departed and Little Miss Sunshine), but there is a tremendous following and it is a strong enough film to warrant a surprise win.
TV Guide advises Oscar watchers should be cautioned not to discount the drama "Babel" with its strong social themes about overcoming communication gaps among people of different cultures.
"While 'Babel' lost several guild awards to 'Sunshine' and 'Departed,' it still enjoys loyal support, and historically Oscar voters favor dramas with social messages over comedies like 'Sunshine' and violent crime movies like 'Departed'."
"It hasn't done well in the guilds, which means there isn't much industry support," said Tom O'Neil of awards site TheEnvelope.com, "But several critics are expecting it to win, and that gets my attention." Babel had 7 to 2 odds at press time.
Who is to say independently produced Little Miss Sunshine won't be this year's Crash. Last year, Crash won for Best Motion Picture, shocking those who bet on gay cowboy flick, Brokeback Mountain, as the favorite to win.
