|
| | | CHICAGO: GUARDS: The best guess on DERRICK ROSE is a February return. But an ACL injury usually isn't 100 percent until the second full year back . . . With Rose out, KIRK HINRICH figures to play heavy minutes early. He's a defensive specialist who will pass and watch on offense . . . NATE ROBINSON could push Hinrich for minutes. He's the offensive half of that platoon, but Thibodeau almost always leans defense . . . RICHARD HAMILTON will carry a bigger offensive load while Rose is recovering. He's a shadow of his former self . . . MARCO BELINELLI is a nice addition. He's solid defensively, and he brings the long-range shooting Chicago lacks. Don't be surprised if he pushes Hamilton . . . Rookie MARQUIS TEAGUE will mostly sit and watch this year. FORWARDS: After avoiding wrist surgery, LUOL DENG should be Chicago's top scorer while Rose is out. He's the only one on this team who even has a chance to generate his own offense . . . CARLOS BOOZER continues to be a major disappointment. In the past it's been his atrocious defense, but now he's taken a step back offensively as well. He may score more with Rose out, but he'll continue to sit late in close games . . . TAJ GIBSON should be in for a bigger role. With Omer Asik gone, he's one of only two defensively capable bigs on this roster . . . VLADIMIR RADMANOVIC will try to replace some of the three-point shooting they lost when Kyle Korver left . . . JIMMY BUTLER has a puncher's chance at a rotation spot after a good summer. CENTERS: JOAKIM NOAH was still working his way back from that badly sprained ankle this summer. His durability is questionable, but the Bulls will have to lean on Noah for more minutes now that Omer Asik is gone . . . NAZR MOHAMMED steps into Asik's role as Noah's backup. But while Asik was an active defender, Mohammed is more of just a big body with six fouls to give. | | DETROIT: GUARDS: RODNEY STUCKEY was hampered by nagging injuries a year ago. If he's healthy, he's the best offensive weapon they have . . . BRANDON KNIGHT is more of a combo guard running the point. He can shoot, but doesn't bring much else to the table . . . With Ben Gordon gone, WILL BYNUM has a chance to regain a significant role . . . The Pistons' two second-round picks have a chance to carve out big roles. KIM ENGLISH has a skill set similar to Gordon's, capable of heating up and scoring in bunches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON is more of a spot-up, catch-and-shoot threat only . . . Former No. 6 overall pick JONNY FLYNN agreed to a non-guaranteed contract in October, as he is no guarantee to even make this sorry roster. FORWARDS: TAYSHAUN PRINCE is still hanging on as the Pistons' best all-around player . . . JASON MAXIELL should be able to reclaim his starting spot early. He rebounds and takes up space . . . JONAS JEREBKO showed flashes but looked rusty in his first year back from an Achilles injury . . . 2011 2nd-rounder KYLE SINGLER has a good chance to step into the rotation after a solid year in Spain . . . COREY MAGGETTE was acquired in a Ben Gordon salary dump. He'll see limited minutes . . . AUSTIN DAYE regressed big-time last year. Unless he gets off to a hot start, he'll be on the outside looking in at the rotation . . . TERRENCE WILLIAMS is seeking a new lease on life, but could be too much of a head case to realize he's wasting his talent . . . The Pistons are counting down the days left on CHARLIE VILLANUEVA's contract (two years). CENTERS: GREG MONROE is a solid fit in Frank's system. He's not a great athlete, but he can score and move the ball on offense, as well as rebound . . . ANDRE DRUMMOND could one day be a perfect fit alongside Monroe. But for now, he'll watch and learn as a raw, boom-or-bust prospect . . . VIACHESLAV KRAVTSOV is an athletic big who will bring energy, but little offense in limited minutes. |

*Bulls-Pistons Preview* =======================
Chicago (42-33) at Detroit (25-51), 7:30 p.m. EDT
No matter how many players are missing, the Chicago Bulls have pulled out victories in their last two games.
No matter how the Detroit Pistons' roster has changed over the last four-plus seasons, it's been that long since the club has beaten Chicago.
The Bulls will remain short-handed Sunday night, but they have won 18 straight over a Pistons team winding down another awful season that has coach Lawrence Frank wondering about his job status.
Chicago (42-33) has been without Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis), Richard Hamilton (back), Taj Gibson (sprained knee) and Marco Belinelli (abdominal strain) for the last two games. The Bulls won 92-90 over Brooklyn on Thursday and 87-86 over Orlando on Friday to give them six victories in eight games.
Noah hasn't played during that stretch and Belinelli has missed the last seven, but they're the closest to returning among the Bulls' injured players.
"You can say we're short-handed," said center Nazr Mohammed, who has been starting in Noah's place. "We have some great players that are out but we try to lie to ourselves and say we're not short-handed and it's just the next person's opportunity to step up. We've been doing that and we want to continue to do that until our main guys get back."
The Bulls have waited all season for the debut of star Derrick Rose, but the Pistons have been waiting far longer than that for a victory over their Central Division rivals.
Detroit (25-52) has not beaten Chicago since Dec. 23, 2008, with Rodney Stuckey and Jason Maxiell the only current Pistons to play in that contest. The only longer run for the Bulls in their history against any opponent was a 19-game streak over Detroit in the mid-1990s.
The Pistons are trying to avoid their first nine-game home skid since a 10-game slide in 1993-94. They will finish with their fifth straight losing season and fourth in a row without a playoff berth, and Frank's second season in Detroit could be his last.
"When you have a record like we have, it comes with the territory," Frank said before Saturday's 107-101 loss at Minnesota. "That's the nature of this business. It's results oriented."
Detroit has come close this season to ending its slide against Chicago, losing three meetings by a total of eight points. The Pistons led by as many as 17 points in a 108-104 defeat Dec. 7, again blew a 17-point advantage in an 85-82 loss Jan. 23 and let a 13-point lead slip away in last Sunday's 95-94 defeat.
Luol Deng has 50 points in two meetings while Nate Robinson has totaled 27 and 10 assists off the bench in the last two matchups.
Robinson sparked the win over the Magic with 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter. He's averaging 17.9 over the past seven games.
"I'm not afraid to fail," he said. "You're going to have to fail a lot to succeed in this game. You can't be afraid to take that shot. And you can't be afraid to miss it or make it."
The Bulls are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, trailing the Nets by 1 1/2 games in the race for home-court advantage in the first round.
Stuckey is averaging 20.0 points in the season series to lead Detroit.
