|
| |  | GOLDEN STATE: GUARDS: New head coach Steve Kerr doesn't figure to tweak this system much, so expect STEPHEN CURRY to keep doing his thing. He's added elite playmaking skills to his already outstanding deep shooting . . . The Warriors are reluctant to part with KLAY THOMPSON in part because of his three-point shooting, but mostly because of his defensive value alongside Curry . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON will back up both guard spots. He's also the only proven point guard on the roster besides Curry . . . BRANDON RUSH will look to revive his career in Oakland. He'll have to prove his knees are healthy enough before he earns a rotation spot . . . It's a make or break year already for NEMANJA NEDOVIC, who was severely overmatched as a rookie. FORWARDS: ANDRE IGUODALA is a defensive specialist and no more than a role player on offense. His main job is to take some of the playmaking duties away from Curry . . . Kerr seems resigned to the fact that he's stuck with DAVID LEE. He has some value on offense, but remains one of the league's worst defensive frontcourt players. Expect him to lose some minutes under Kerr . . . HARRISON BARNES will play a bit of power forward in some small lineups, but mostly he'll play a wing spot. Barnes will have to regain his confidence early if he's going to be an impact sixth man . . . Kerr has hinted at a bigger role for DRAYMOND GREEN, who will play some stretch-4 this year . . . MARREESE SPEIGHTS gives them an offense-only big man off the bench. CENTERS: Kerr has hinted at a bigger offensive role for ANDREW BOGUT. But monitoring the Aussie's minutes may be the bigger goal, to ensure he's actually available for the postseason . . . Back-up center FESTUS EZELI should be ready to return from his knee injury, though he was having shin problems during Summer League. | | BOSTON: GUARDS: RAJON RONDO's name is etched on the trading block. Regardless of where he lands, his injured knee should be 100 percent healthy . . . With an improved three-point shot, AVERY BRADLEY has become a complete player. His defense guarantees minutes regardless . . . MARCUS SMART seems to be waiting in the wings for a Rondo trade. In the meantime, he'll back up both guard spots. Just like in college, he'll be brilliant at times, but inconsistent . . . Local product PHIL PRESSEY will stick around as a No. 3 point guard . . . EVAN TURNER was a disaster in Indy. He'll have a tough time making this rotation . . . MARCUS THORNTON was acquired as a trade throw-in. The Celtics don't have big plans for the remorseless gunner. FORWARDS: He's isn't a legitimate No. 1 option, but JEFF GREEN will be the go-to guy again. He hasn't been able to handle the extra defensive attention, becoming increasingly inefficient . . . He has plenty of limitations on both ends of the court, but JARED SULLINGER is a crafty scorer. He'll get close to starter minutes as the Celtics search for offense . . . BRANDON BASS will see time at the 4 and the 5. He's made a pledge to improve offensively, but more likely he'll be a defensive presence and a screen-setter . . . JAMES YOUNG missed most of the summer healing a neck injury. He's going to do some damage running the floor, but he doesn't have the skills for the half-court game in the NBA . . . GERALD WALLACE is playing out the string. CENTERS: KELLY OLYNYK has the most upside in this frontcourt. His rare mobility and skill set for a 7-footer made a difference last year. It's just a question of whether he can hold up defensively down low . . . TYLER ZELLER gives them another solid 7-footer who opposing defenses have to account for. He'll fit well in head coach Brad Stevens' system . . . JOEL ANTHONY isn't going to get off the bench. |

*Warriors-Celtics Preview* ==========================
By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer
Golden State (45-11) at Boston (23-33), 6:00 p.m. EDT
The Boston Celtics have earned three straight victories behind the strong play of several newcomers, but the league's top team stands in the way of a fourth.
The Golden State Warriors head to Boston on Sunday night hoping to further re-establish their dominance following a convincing road win.
The wins have started to pile up for Boston (23-33) since acquiring Isaiah Thomas and Jonas Jerebko on Feb. 19. Thomas scored a team-high 28 on Friday, and Jerebko had 16 points and 10 rebounds as the Celtics beat Charlotte 106-98 to match a season-best three-game winning streak.
Thomas has averaged 22.3 points and 6.0 assists in four games with the Celtics, creating enough of an impact for Avery Bradley to call him the "spark."
"That's pretty nice," Thomas said of his teammate's praise. "But it's not me - it's this team. We're playing hard, coach is putting us in position to be successful and that's the key. We are believing in each other."
Jerebko has been equally effective in his two games with Boston, hitting 13 of 19 from the field. He preceded his 16-point performance against Charlotte with a season-high 20 in a win over New York. Jerebko averaged only 5.2 points in 46 games with Detroit.
After working with 22 different players this season, coach Brad Stevens believes he has finally found the right mix.
"We've had a lot of good additions, and we've got a group that supports each other," Stevens said prior to Friday's win. "To me, as you're growing in a place where improvement and development are so critical, you better be in a good environment. And I'm pleased with where we are from that regard."
Another victory Sunday would mark Boston's eighth in 11 games and first four-game winning streak since Nov. 6-11, 2013.
While the Celtics try to chase down the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, Golden State (45-11) has built a sizable lead atop the West.
The Warriors, though, had lost two of three to begin a season-high six-game road swing, but they responded with a 113-89 blowout of Atlantic Division-leading Toronto on Friday.
"We've been a resilient team all year," star Stephen Curry said.
Curry and Klay Thompson combined for 47 points on 54.8 percent shooting after hitting 10 of 30 for 31 points in a 110-99 loss in Cleveland on Thursday.
The Warriors, who improved to 28-0 when holding the opposition under 100 points, had allowed an average of 107.0 on the first three games of the trip.
"It was very satisfying to come out and play the way we did on a back-to-back, coming off a national TV game against LeBron and all that stuff," coach Steve Kerr said. "It was an important effort."
Boston put a scare into Golden State on Jan. 25, but Thompson and Curry scored the Warriors' final 13 points to secure a 114-111 win.
Jared Sullinger, who led the Celtics with 26 points in that matchup, will not play Sunday due to a foot injury. Kelly Olynyk, though, could return for the first time since spraining his right ankle on Jan. 22.
The Warriors are seeking their first four-game winning streak over Boston since Jan. 27-Feb. 10, 1962.
