KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL hasn't developed much diversity in his offensive game, but he's still really fast and an effective distributor. The improved supporting cast should help him reach the next level, assuming he feels no ill effects from the stress injury in his left knee that will keep him out until late November . . . BRADLEY BEAL is a great shooter, but he can also score off the dribble. Throw in his rebounding ability from the backcourt, and he should contribute in a number of ways as a rookie . . . JORDAN CRAWFORD is a pure scorer, but not an efficient one. He won't be able to hold off Beal for long, if at all . . . A.J. PRICE steps in as Wall's top backup. He'll play limited minutes with the second unit . . . SHELVIN MACK will be battling for a roster spot, most likely with underachieving swingman MARTELL WEBSTER. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA should have no trouble stepping into the starting lineup. He'll at least have a chance to re-find his three-point shot getting drive-and-dish feeds from Wall . . . Nene^ will slide to the four with Emeka Okafor coming in. That means athletic, but raw, JAN VESELY will have to play with the second unit. He can really run the floor, but doesn't help much in the half-court game . . . TREVOR BOOKER is a very good screener on offense who holds his own defensively and on the boards. He still has a chance for a handful of starts if Nene^ or Okafor get hurt . . . CHRIS SINGLETON started a lot of games last year, but the defensive specialist will likely spend this season learning behind Ariza . . . CARTIER MARTIN never saw a shot he didn't like. CENTERS: NENE^ had some trouble with plantar fasciitis last year and playing in the Olympics didn't help. If healthy, he has a chance to be Washington's leading scorer . . . EMEKA OKAFOR will start alongside Nene^. He's the fifth-best option on offense, but holds his own defensively . . . KEVIN SERAPHIN has proven he can hold down a starting job. He'll come off the bench but should still have a significant role.
BOSTON: GUARDS: This offense now belongs to RAJON RONDO, and that should be especially true during the regular season . . . Even if he comes off the bench, JASON TERRY figures to see the bulk of the minutes at shooting guard. He provides some much-needed outside shooting after Ray Allen left and should challenge Paul Pierce for the team lead in shot attempts . . . Adding COURTNEY LEE was more of a move for the future. He's a fine young second-unit player for now and should be an heir apparent on one of the wings . . . AVERY BRADLEY could be out until December after shoulder surgery. As Boston's best perimeter defensive player, he could reclaim his starting job in the season's second half . . . The addition of LEANDRO BARBOSA gives Boston another veteran who can create his own offense in the second unit, something that was sorely missing in last year's playoff run. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE quietly had a great regular season last year. Though with some improved depth behind him, Rivers might have his 35-year-old All-Star wing rest more often . . . BRANDON BASS gives them another scoring option, even if he does struggle on the defensive end. He'll get full-time minutes only in certain matchups as long as the frontcourt is healthy . . . JEFF GREEN's heart condition is no longer a concern, but the tweener's role in Boston after a year off is cause for worry . . . There are already question marks surrounding rookie JARED SULLINGER's back. He's very similar to Bass: He can score out to mid-range but doesn't play much defense. Expect him to be strictly a second-unit player in his first NBA season . . . CHRIS WILCOX will provide fouls off the bench when healthy. CENTERS: The Celtics are prepared to go with KEVIN GARNETT in the middle, which was the case when they were at their best last season. His role on offense is still knocking down mid-range jumpers, and he's still an elite defensive player . . . Professional flopper JASON COLLINS will fill in nicely for the departed Greg Stiemsma . . . FAB MELO is years away from being ready to contribute (if he actually is ever ready to contribute) and DARKO MILICIC was also added via free agency for more frontcourt depth.
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER PRO BASKETBALL PREVIEW (WASHINGTON-BOSTON) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Wizards-Celtics Preview* =========================

Washington (28-47) at Boston (39-37), 6:00 p.m. EDT

The Boston Celtics could be getting back their two top scorers at the same time.

There's a chance Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett will both return Sunday night at home when the Celtics try to defeat the visiting Washington Wizards for the seventh straight time.

Pierce sat out Friday's 97-91 loss to lowly Cleveland with a sore left ankle, but returned to practice Saturday and should Washington (29-47).

Garnett's injury is more serious as he has missed the last eight games with inflammation in his left ankle.

"I have some issues with my foot and more from like the motion of the foot, just pressing it and pushing it like a gas pedal," he said. "It's an issue. If it isn't, I wouldn't be out."

The 15-time All-Star also practiced Saturday but it's unclear if he will play. Coach Doc Rivers certainly knows what he would like to see Sunday.

"He's been out a while and the playoffs are soon so the sooner he gets back out on the floor, the better and I would lean to him now that once he's cleared health-wise, it's probably better for him even if he can't play a lot of minutes to play in games because no matter what we do in practice, practice will never duplicate a game," Rivers said.

Boston (39-37) is trying to maintain its hold on seventh place in the Eastern Conference in order to avoid a first-round matchup with Miami. The Celtics lead eighth-place Milwaukee by two games.

"Obviously we're playing for something and obviously we're trying to get things done as we're out here playing so that's pretty much what it is," Garnett said.

Boston has dropped eight of 11, going 3-5 without Garnett in that span.

The Celtics have taken every meeting with the Wizards over the past two seasons, winning twice this past November by a total of nine points.

Washington did not have John Wall back then and Boston had a healthy Rajon Rondo. Now the advantage at point guard figures to swing to the Wizards since they have improved significantly since the electric Wall has returned.

The third-year guard posted his second-highest scoring effort of the season with 37 points Saturday in Washington's ninth straight home victory, 104-85 over Indiana.

"I think whenever you're feeling good and you're playing good, you're more into the game," said Wall, who missed the first 33 games recovering from a knee injury. "You're more enthused, you're more happy. ... After all the stuff I've been through this season with injuries and missing so many games, and having people say what they say about me, it means a lot."

The Wizards have dropped their last four on the road, and five straight at Boston. Wall is shooting 39.9 percent on the road compared to 49.4 percent at home.

Washington is 6-13 in the second half of back-to-back games.
