|
| |  | OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: RUSSELL WESTBROOK is going to likely miss the first 4-to-6 weeks of the regular season after getting another procedure done on Oct. 1 to reduce swelling on his knee. It will probably take him some time to get rid of the rust of not playing all summer . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA should play even more minutes this season with Kevin Martin gone. He has added a three-point shot to his repertoire . . . REGGIE JACKSON could end up absorbing a lot of the minutes that went to James Harden two years ago and Martin last season. But he's nowhere near the offensive threat . . . JEREMY LAMB will push Jackson for that sixth-man role. He's dominated against lesser competition . . . DEREK FISHER will get minutes as a player/coach. FORWARDS: KEVIN DURANT may have to take on an even bigger role in the regular season as the Thunder try to replace Kevin Martin's offensive production. Either way, he's the MVP among the league's non-LeBrons . . . SERGE IBAKA has had his postseason issues and still struggles defensively outside of rim protection, but he has added value with his mid-range shooting . . . NICK COLLISON's biggest skill is his ability to take charges. He'll continue to log big minutes at the four and five as a glue guy . . . One of two very raw young players, PERRY JONES III and ANDRE ROBERSON, has a chance for playing time on a thin team. CENTERS: KENDRICK PERKINS was a disaster in last year's postseason, but still provides the kind of low-post muscle the Thunder look for . . . Rookie STEVEN ADAMS could take over for Perkins down the road, but he's too raw to make an impact this year . . . HASHEEM THABEET fills out the final roster spot. | | ATLANTA: GUARDS: It was a rocky offseason for JEFF TEAGUE, who looked like a goner at one point. Instead, he'll be the focal point of Atlanta's offense . . . Coming off a torn ACL, resident gunner LOUIS WILLIAMS is a question mark entering the season, especially as a guy who relied so much on quickness and explosiveness. He may not be right again until 2014-15 . . . JOHN JENKINS was rock solid as a rookie and should see a bump in playing time with DeShawn Stevenson gone. Jenkins is a legit shooter who can hold his own defensively . . . Rookie DENNIS SCHRODER is a year or two away from consistent minutes, but the penniless man's Rajon Rondo comparisons aren't off . . . JARED CUNNINGHAM is a middling talent destined for a minor role. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP was lost in the shuffle in Utah last year, but he'll be a significant part of this offense in Atlanta. He's a well-rounded power forward and may prove to be a better fit than Josh Smith was for the Hawks . . . KYLE KORVER is coming off a huge year and will play major minutes at both wing spots again . . . A shadow of his former self, ELTON BRAND will rotate in at power forward and center . . . This generation's junkyard dog, DEMARRE CARROLL gives Atlanta some defensive options on the wing and energy off the bench. Outside of some transition baskets, he's a non-factor on offense . . . Euro veteran PERO ANTIC is a finesse stretch four who provides frontcourt depth. CENTERS: After playing a lot of power forward alongside Zaza Pachulia last year, AL HORFORD will spend most of this season at center. With Josh Smith gone, he's poised to have his biggest offensive numbers ever . . . GUSTAVO AYON has proven capable of eating up some space on the second unit. He'll be the second big off the bench after Elton Brand. |

*Thunder-Hawks Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Oklahoma City (15-4) at Atlanta (11-10), 7:30 p.m. EDT
There doesn't appear to be anyone who can slow the Oklahoma City Thunder once they get on a roll - not even the NBA's best defensive club.
Given the way Kevin Durant has played in Atlanta, the Thunder's current tear could continue Tuesday night when they take on the Hawks.
Following their only defeat over the past 11 games - a 111-104 loss at Portland on Dec. 4 - the Thunder (15-4) recovered by scoring 227 points and shooting 55.8 percent in back-to-back victories.
On Sunday, they put up the most points allowed by Indiana in almost two years in an impressive 118-94 home win. Their season-best 61.0 field-goal percentage was the highest given up by Indiana since March 15, 2008.
The league-best Pacers lead the NBA in opponent scoring (89.5) and shooting percentage (40.8), but Durant helped Oklahoma City break the trend with 36 points, 10 rebounds and five assists. Russell Westbrook added 26 points and 13 assists.
The star tandem also shot a combined 25 of 40 to help the Thunder win by double digits for the sixth time during the 10-1 stretch. Durant's point total was also the most by a single player against Indiana this season.
"I take everything personal, no matter who I'm playing," said Durant, who has 65 points on 25-of-40 shooting over his last two games. "I'm always grateful for the opportunity to play, so I never want to take it for granted. ... Of course, playing one of the best teams in the league, you've always got to bring it a little bit more, I guess, and I think we all did that."
Durant, averaging a league-high 28.9 points, has brought his best on recent trips to Atlanta. The four-time All-Star has totaled 76 points and 21 rebounds in his last two road games against the Hawks (11-10).
In the most recent meeting Dec. 19, Durant scored 41 points on 14-of-23 shooting to go with 13 rebounds, while Westbrook had 27 points and 11 assists in a 100-92 win.
Though the Hawks have allowed an average of 107.7 points on 52.6 percent shooting during a three-game road skid, they've given up 91.0 points and a 41.7 percentage over a three-game home winning streak.
Al Horford led seven players in double figures with 22 points and nine rebounds, and Paul Millsap added 16 and 14, respectively, in Friday's 108-89 victory over Cleveland.
Kyle Korver also set an NBA record by hitting a 3-pointer for a 90th straight game for the Hawks, who have shot 40.4 percent from long range while reaching 100 points in four consecutive contests.
"It feels good, I'm glad it's done," Korver said after finishing with 10 points and hitting 2 of 3 from beyond the arc. "My naps the last couple (game days) haven't been very solid."
Since averaging 20.6 points in his first eight home games, Jeff Teague has just 19 combined over his last two. He'll look to bounce back after scoring 17.0 per game on 23-of-38 shooting in his last three against Oklahoma City.
The Thunder, however, have limited their last two opponents to a combined 189 points on 38.7 percent shooting. They rank in the league's top five with a 42.3 defensive field-goal percentage overall.
The Oklahoma City franchise has won 14 of its last 18 in Atlanta dating to its days as the Seattle SuperSonics.
