KEY GAME INFORMATION

BROOKLYN: GUARDS: Even after Paul Pierce came to Brooklyn, JOE JOHNSON remained the clear-cut No. 1 option in Brooklyn. Their offense figures to feature Johnson backing down defenders frequently again this year . . . DERON WILLIAMS seems to be deteriorating rapidly, struggling to stay healthy and losing confidence . . . JARRETT JACK figures to take Shaun Livingston's old role, playing alongside Williams often to take ball-handling duties off his plate . . . ALAN ANDERSON will see time at both wing spots as a defensive specialist who shoots some corner threes . . . SERGEY KARASEV has some long-term upside, but will do little this year . . . MARQUIS TEAGUE figures to have the edge on MARKEL BROWN for the No. 3 PG job. FORWARDS: With Paul Pierce gone, MIRZA TELETOVIC has a chance to take on a bigger role. He held his own defensively last year and provides another deep threat to space the floor . . . There's no telling what, if anything, they'll get out of ANDREI KIRILENKO this season. He seems to be at a point in his career when he's just not going to be able to stay healthy . . . BOJAN BOGDANOVIC should give Brooklyn some additional offensive firepower off the bench. He'll likely be a regular in the rotation by midseason . . . KEVIN GARNETT figures to play a bit more at the 4 alongside Brook Lopez, but there's pretty much no gas left in the tank for this 38-year-old player . . . Second-round pick CORY JEFFERSON is likely ticketed for the D-League. CENTERS: The Nets desperately need a healthy BROOK LOPEZ if they're going to win the Atlantic Division, but they'll have to monitor his minutes closely after another season lost to injury . . . With Lopez healthy, MASON PLUMLEE will resume his natural role as an energy guy off the bench.

ATLANTA: GUARDS: Considering he was almost gone a year ago, the Hawks are thankful JEFF TEAGUE is still in town. He may never be a great shooter, but he gets wherever he wants on the floor . . . KYLE KORVER is still the NBA's premier shooter, and he's shown no signs of relinquishing that title . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA gives the Hawks a defensive option to complement Korver. He looked worn down last season though, eventually falling out of OKC's rotation . . . KENT BAZEMORE gives Atlanta some more offensive firepower off the bench . . . DENNIS SCHRODER showed flashes of that Rajon Rondo Lite promise last year. Don't be surprised to see him paired with Teague in some lineups . . . There's no guarantee JOHN JENKINS will ever be the same after back surgery. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP has developed into a capable co-alpha, along with Jeff Teague. In addition to his low-post work, he's developed a three-point shot and the ability to work off the dribble . . . DeMARRE CARROLL is trying to add a three-point shot to his repertoire. It would give him a big boost in offensive value to go along with his defense and all-around hustle . . . ADREIAN PAYNE will provide some much-needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. He's NBA-ready, especially with his ability to pull opposing big men away from the basket with his shooting . . . MIKE MUSCALA gives them another big man who can shoot it, but he's not athletic enough to hold his own in the NBA. CENTERS: Will AL HORFORD ever stay healthy? He's an All-Star when he is. His recent injuries have been a bit fluky, but it's going to be tough to trust him . . . PERO ANTIC proved to be a capable stretch-5 last year, but the arrival of Payne will likely push him out of the rotation.

*Nets-Hawks Preview* ====================

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

Brooklyn At Atlanta, Game One, 5:30 p.m. EDT

ATLANTA (AP) -- There's nothing to indicate the Atlanta Hawks will have any trouble with the Brooklyn Nets in the opening round of the NBA playoffs.

The top-seeded Hawks won all four regular-season meetings by an average of more than 17 points. They finished a whopping 22 games ahead of the Nets in the Eastern Conference standings.

But Atlanta knows from experience that a No. 8 seed can cause plenty of problems.

A year ago, the Hawks were in the same position when they took on the Indiana Pacers. Atlanta won twice in Indianapolis, had a chance to wrap up the series at home, and wound up losing in a seven-game thriller.

Now it's the Hawks (60-22) with the target on their backs after setting a franchise record for wins and earning their first No. 1 seed since 1994.

"We understand that seeds don't really matter once you get in the playoffs," Hawks center Al Horford said. "We were the perfect example of that last year. We pushed Indiana to the limit. We understand we need to come out with a sense of urgency."

The Nets (38-44) didn't clinch a playoff berth until the final night of the regular season. They know they'll have their hands full trying to become only the sixth No. 8 seed to win a series since the playoff format expanded in 1984.

"They've played consistently well all year long," Brooklyn coach Lionel Hollins said. "It's a tremendous challenge, but that's what competition is all about."

Here are some things to watch for when the Hawks take on the Nets:

TURNING IT BACK ON: After building a huge lead in the Eastern Conference, the Hawks coasted down the stretch with the idea of giving their starters plenty of rest and keeping everyone as healthy as possible. The team won only seven of its last 15 games, including a pair of three-game losing streaks. Can Atlanta regain the form that led to a 19-game winning streak and a perfect mark in January?

LOPEZ IN THE MIDDLE: Center Brook Lopez might provide one of the best chances for Brooklyn to pull off a huge upset. The 7-footer has really stepped up his play since the All-Star break by averaging 19.7 points and 9.2 rebounds, compared to 15.3 and 6.2 over the first 42 games. Lopez was even better over the final 16 games, averaging 23.2 points. The Hawks don't have anyone to match up to Lopez physically, so they'll try to beat the Nets with speed, quickness and lots of running. Brooklyn, on the other hand, would prefer a game that's played primarily in the half-court.

MILLSAP'S SHOULDER: Atlanta's All-Star forward, Paul Millsap, will be wearing a protective pad on his right shoulder after missing five games with a sprain. Millsap was able to return for the season finale, playing 27 minutes, but concedes the shoulder is still a bit tender. "Anybody coming off an injury, they kind of favor their injury. They don't want it to get hit," Millsap said. "I'm going to try not to think about it, but it's tough." Backup forward Mike Scott also went down with a bruised back in the final week, but he practiced Saturday and is expected to play for the Hawks in Game 1.

JOE'S RETURN: Brooklyn's Joe Johnson was a perennial All-Star when he played with the Hawks from 2005-12. Now, he faces his former team. While Johnson would no doubt like to end Atlanta's amazing season, he insisted it's not doing to be a solo effort. Johnson will surely hear some extra boos when he's in Atlanta, where he was always viewed as a guy who never quite fulfilled his potential by becoming one of the NBA's elite players. The trade that sent him to the Nets is considered the key move in the overhauling of the Hawks' roster.

NO THABO: The Hawks lost a valuable player off the bench when Thabo Sefolosha sustained a season-ending injury, which he claims was caused by New York City police during a much-debated arrest with a week to go in the regular season. The 6-foot-7 Sefolosha was the main backup to small forward DeMarre Carroll, providing another top defender on the perimeter. Kent Bazemore will step up to fill Sefolosha's role, but he's 2 inches shorter and may have trouble guarding bigger forwards. Sefolosha's absence could really prove to be an issue if the Hawks wind up facing LeBron James and the second-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers in the conference finals.
