Bottom line: Just the second meeting between Ray Allen and Milwaukee since the Bucks traded him to the Sonics on Feb. 20, 2002. In his only meeting against his former club, Allen scored 16 points in a 99-73 Sonics defeat at the Bradley Center on Feb. 27, 2005. He spent 6 ½ seasons with the Bucks. ... The Sonics return to the road for six games after completing a winless four-game road trip last week. Seattle has an 8-17 road record and hasn't beaten a winning team on the road since its 152-149 double-overtime victory in Phoenix on Jan. 22. ... This is the first meeting of the season between Seattle and Milwaukee. They split two games last season, with each team winning on its home court. Seattle has won four of the past six meetings in Milwaukee and 19 of the past 26 meetings overall. The Bucks hold a 58-56 edge in the all-time series.

Injuries: Sonics — F Rashard Lewis (right-thigh contusion) is probable. F Danny Fortson (sore left knee), F Vitaly Potapenko (lower-back strain) and G Rick Brunson (plantar fasciitis left foot) are out. Milwaukee — F Toni Kukoc (strained left elbow) and G Mo Williams (sprained left ankle) questionable.
