|
| |  | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON JENNINGS benefitted from the arrival of Monta Ellis last year. He has the offense and system to thrive, and now needs to prove he can be efficient enough to be a star . . . MONTA ELLIS played second fiddle to Jennings last year, and really struggled to shoot the ball. The Bucks now play the kind of tempo he likes, but he'll have to adjust to playing off the ball more often . . . BENO UDRIH won't see a ton of action off the bench considering Jennings and Ellis play so many minutes. If a starter gets hurt, he could step in and hit a lot of threes . . . Second-rounder DORON LAMB has some upside as a future sixth man, but figures to ride the bench this year once his torn elbow ligament heals. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA should finally get some respect from Skiles after starring down the stretch last year . . . MIKE DUNLEAVY re-emerged as a legitimate three-point threat, though he doesn't do much else . . . DREW GOODEN's role should shrink with Ilyasova stepping up and Sam Dalembert coming in . . . LUC RICHARD MBAH a MOUTE is coming off knee surgery, but he's improving as a rebounder and can play both forward spots off the bench . . . Rookie JOHN HENSON is a defensive stud and does enough as a screener to get decent minutes early . . . TOBIAS HARRIS was a Summer League star, but he's too much of a 'tweener to thrive in the NBA . . . EKPE UDOH provides defense and rebounding off the bench . . . LARRY SANDERS has potential, but this frontcourt is too crowded for him to make an impact. CENTERS: SAM DALEMBERT fell in and out of favor in Houston, but he's exactly what the Bucksneed as a defensive presence in the paint. Milwaukee has numerous players who can man the five in spots (Ekpe Udoh, Drew Gooden), but Dalembert is by far their best defensive option and should see big minutes . . . JOEL PRZYBILLA signed on in August to provide back-end depth on the pine. | | MIAMI: GUARDS: The regular season goal for DWYANE WADE is to just stay healthy. Even following knee surgery, he's still good enough to pile up numbers, but the minutes won't be there in the regular season . . . That's why the Heat brought in RAY ALLEN. He and Wade will share the floor at times, but Allen should primarily play off the bench. His role will be to knock down the wide-open threes Wade and LeBron James create . . . After all the big plays he made in the postseason, MARIO CHALMERS is entrenched as the starting point guard, despite being plagued by a bad hammy in the preseason . . . Super-quick NORRIS COLE looks like he'll become one of the NBA's better backup point guards . . . If he doesn't retire, the absurdly brittle MIKE MILLER will see limited regular-season minutes . . . TERREL HARRIS will likely make the team because he's willing to play defense. FORWARDS: While another title is their No. 1 priority, LeBRON JAMES has shown no need to rest during the regular season. He'll play full-time minutes and be in the thick of the MVP race . . . CHRIS BOSH remains integral to the offense with his ability to pull opposing bigs away from the basket. His stats don't reflect his actual value . . . SHANE BATTIER will continue to be a defensive specialist whose offensive role is limited to shooting open threes . . . UDONIS HASLEM is another guy who will get held back in the regular season. He should lead their low-post rotation . . . RASHARD LEWIS' knee problems have robbed him of athleticism . . . But Lewis should beat out fellow shooter JAMES JONES for a rotation spot . . . JARVIS VARNADO is a shot-blocking force with little to no offensive game. CENTERS: JOEL ANTHONY will continue to tag-team with Haslem in the middle. Anthony is an absolute negative on the offensive end, but he brings more size and shot-blocking than Haslem . . . DEXTER PITTMAN will be battling for a roster spot. Sexy Dexy has shown no signs of being an NBA-caliber player so far in his career . . . MICKELL GLADNESS is a better alternative than Pittman on both ends of the floor. |

*Bucks-Heat Preview* ====================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Milwaukee (6-3) at Miami (8-3), 7:30 p.m. EDT
While the Miami Heat proved plenty formidable on their recent road trip, they've been especially dominant on their own court.
The defending NBA champions, however, haven't had much of a home-court advantage against the Milwaukee Bucks of late.
In a matchup of first-place teams, the Heat try to extend their best home start in franchise history Wednesday night against the Bucks, who aim for a fifth win in six trips to Miami.
Two nights after pulling out a 98-93 win at Denver, the Heat (8-3) beat Phoenix 97-88 on Saturday to conclude their trek with a 4-2 mark. With Dwyane Wade out for the second consecutive game with a sprained left foot, Chris Bosh had a team-high 24 points while LeBron James overcame flu-like symptoms to score 21.
"Me at 50 percent or 60 percent is better than me not playing at all," James said. "I set my shooters up as much as possible, but if the game is close down the stretch, I feel like I can make plays individually to help us win."
Miami now looks to keep rolling at home, where it's shot 53.2 percent and outscored opponents by an average of 17.7 points in opening 4-0. Though the Heat would appear to have the edge Wednesday with Wade likely to return and James all but certain to be closer to full strength following three days off, the Bucks (6-3) have more than held their own during their last several visits.
Milwaukee has yielded 84.0 points per game during its 4-1 stretch at Miami, taking the last two there while outscoring the Heat by an average of 16.0 points in the paint. Wade, though, missed both those contests.
The Bucks opened 3-0 on the road before falling 102-98 at Charlotte on Monday. Monta Ellis scored 31 points but Brandon Jennings had 10 on 5-of-18 shooting for Milwaukee, which led by 11 with 6:51 to play before coming undone.
"No disrespect to Charlotte, but those are the games that we should be winning," center Samuel Dalembert said.
Slowing down Bosh could prove crucial if the Bucks hope to get back on track. Miami has gone 27-3 when he scores at least 24 points, and Bosh posted a career-high 44 points against Milwaukee while with Toronto in 2010.
While James, Wade and Bosh continue to garner most of the attention in Miami, Udonis Haslem finds himself on the verge of an impressive milestone. With 4,806 career rebounds, the veteran forward is two away from surpassing Alonzo Mourning for the most in team history.
Haslem is averaging 4.4 points and 4.8 boards off the bench.
"It's a great story, coming from Liberty City, not being drafted and absolutely earning everything he's gotten in this league and for this organization," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I've said this time and time again: We have core values for this organization. We can list them for you, we can define them for you, or we can just give a picture of UD. That will tell the whole story.
"He embodies all that we want in a Miami Heat basketball player."
James has averaged 29.6 points versus Milwaukee, his fourth-highest mark against any team.
