(Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Bucks shoot for their fourth consecutive victory this evening, when they battle Shaquille O'Neal and the suddenly struggling Miami Heat at AmericanAirlines Arena.

Since a season-opening 93-92 loss to Orlando, the Bucks have ripped off three consecutive wins, including a 94-91 win over winless New Orleans on Saturday. Michael Redd scored a game-high 30 points and his jumper with 1:10 remaining gave Milwaukee the lead for good.

Redd has been terrific in four games for the Bucks, registering 25.8 points per contest while draining 53 percent of his three-pointers.

Keith Van Horn added 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists for the Bucks, while Joe Smith contributed 15 points and 11 rebounds. Desmond Mason added 17 points off the bench for Milwaukee.

The Bucks were 17-of-21 from the foul line, while the Hornets shot just three from the charity stripe.

Bucks forward Zaza Pachulia missed his second straight game because of a sore right foot. It is unknown if Pachulia will be available for today's game.

This is just Milwaukee's second road tilt of the year, as it opened the season in Orlando.

Milwaukee won two of three meetings between these squads last season, including both home tilts. The Heat have won four of their last six home contests against the Bucks.
