ST. FRANCIS, Wis. (AP) - Andrew Bogut makes a big difference in the Milwaukee Bucks lineup.

But, coach Scott Skiles is concerned about Bogut playing too many minutes as the Bucks prepare to meet Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat at the Bradley Center Wednesday night.

Bogut's back has been troubling him the past few weeks, although he contributed 18 points and 10 rebounds in the Bucks' 97-91 victory at Washington.

Skiles says his goal is not to play Bogut heavily right now.

Bogut leads the team with 15 double-doubles, despite missing seven games with injuries.
