|
| |  | CHICAGO: GUARDS: After playing it very safe and sitting out all of last spring, DERRICK ROSE should pretty much be his old self. Of course, he'll have to knock some rust off early in the year . . . JIMMY BUTLER was an iron man during last year's playoffs, and his role will only grow this season. His defense and energy, as well as ability to get to the line, could make Luol Deng expendable . . . MIKE DUNLEAVY is in line for the sixth man role, primarily as a long-range threat . . . With Rose's return, KIRK HINRICH slides back to the bench. His playing time will be especially limited with Dunleavy taking up minutes at the two . . . MARQUIS TEAGUE will continue to be used only in garbage time unless Hinrich ends up getting hurt or traded. FORWARDS: LUOL DENG is back on the trading block, as the Bulls learned life isn't so bad without him now that Jimmy Butler has emerged. His offensive role could be slightly reduced . . . CARLOS BOOZER will likely be amnestied next summer, so for all intents and purposes this is a contract year. He's likely to still be a disaster defensively, which means he's a part-time player under defensive-minded head coach Tom Thibodeau . . . TAJ GIBSON will finish games and likely take over Boozer's spot a year from now. He's a superior defender and, while he doesn't have Boozer's range, he's a capable finisher around the rim . . . Rookie TONY SNELL is a Thibodeau kind of player, a long-armed, athletic perimeter defender. He's unlikely to ever do much on offense though. CENTERS: JOAKIM NOAH may be consistently banged up, but he's capable of playing through the pain. Depending on the Bulls' playoff position, he might sit some games late in the year, but Thibodeau isn't shy about playing him 35 minutes per night . . . NAZR MOHAMMED is back as a designated screener on offense and hacker on defense.. | | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS will surely take on more of a distributor role this year, but he's still this team's best option from three-point range, as well . . . JOE JOHNSON started to break down last season, so along with fewer shots (with the upgrade to the rest of the roster), he figures to play fewer regular-season minutes as well . . . JASON TERRY is clearly in the decline phase of his career, but is still the top scoring option among Brooklyn's second unit . . . ALAN ANDERSON gives them another shooter off the bench . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON steps into the back-up point guard spot vacated by C.J. Watson. The injury-prone vet will be one of the more rarely used back-up PGs . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR will be a non-factor. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE still has something left in the tank. While his athleticism is fading, he's still a cagey scorer who can also play some point forward to set up Williams . . . ANDREI KIRILENKO will be a Swiss army knife sixth man and should see plenty of starts as new head coach Jason Kidd rotates which veterans rest . . . REGGIE EVANS was retained for his rebounding ability and willingness to look ridiculous while flopping . . . ANDRAY BLATCHE will continue to settle in as a second-unit big. He's a name to remember for the future, as Kevin Garnett doesn't have much left in the tank . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC will be a seldom-used option as a stretch four . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA is still years away from contributing, and the influx of veterans will further delay his development. CENTERS: Last year did a lot to assuage durability concerns for BROOK LOPEZ. He's highly skilled, and he may be forced to grab more rebounds now that Reggie Evans is on the second unit . . . KEVIN GARNETT will start at power forward. He's still an effective pick-and-pop shooter and pick-and-roll defender, but he'll have to rest often during the regular season . . . MASON PLUMLEE is in no position to help this season. |

*Bulls-Nets Preview* ====================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Chicago (32-26) at Brooklyn (28-29), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Following a successful conclusion to their longest road trip of the season, the Brooklyn Nets will try to continue their recent dominance at the Barclays Center.
The Nets, though, will face one of the NBA's hottest teams, the Chicago Bulls, in their return home Monday night.
Brooklyn (28-29) won the final two games of its trip after starting 2-3 and began that streak with a 112-89 rout of Denver on Thursday. The Nets followed with a 107-98 victory at Milwaukee on Saturday, and Marcus Thornton had 25 points off the bench while helping his team overcome Kevin Garnett's absence.
The center was forced to miss the game due to back spasms, and Thornton was playing his third game for Brooklyn since being acquired from Sacramento on Feb. 19.
"I'm coming to a team with all these veterans, that know how to win, that have championship aspirations and have championships under their belts already, and a coach that has a championship, too," he said. "I knew it would be a great situation."
Thornton will next try to help Brooklyn register its fifth consecutive home win and 12th in the last 14 games. The Nets are also seeking to reach the .500 mark for the first time since Nov. 5 by earning a ninth victory in 13 overall contests.
The Bulls (33-26), meanwhile, have won four in a row - one shy of tying a season high - and nine of 10. They've also taken four of five on the road and each of their two matchups against Brooklyn this season.
Chicago topped the Nets 92-76 at home Feb. 13 as part of their current hot stretch. The Bulls enter this game having scored 100 or more points in four straight games - its longest such run since Oct. 30-Nov. 5, 2010 - and topped New York 109-90 on Sunday.
"We've hit a stretch where we have guys that are healthy playing that I think they know what to expect from each other," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "I think they're playing to their strengths."
Joakim Noah recorded his fifth career triple-double with 14 assists, 13 points and 12 rebounds. The 14 assists were a franchise record for a center and the most for an NBA player at that position since at least 1985-86.
"What can you say? He is playing MVP basketball," forward Taj Gibson said. "He is doing everything in all facets of the game."
D.J. Augustin's 23 points off the bench led seven players in double figures, and the performance gave Jimmer Fredette a chance to see his first action with the team after being signed for the rest of the season Sunday.
The Bulls haven't scored 100 or more points in five straight contests since a eight-game stretch March 26-April 11, 2009. They've reached the century mark just once in the last 14 games against the Nets, a 142-134 triple-overtime victory April 27 in Game 4 of last year's playoffs.
The Bulls ended that first-round seven-game series with a 99-93 win in Brooklyn on May 4, and posted a 95-78 victory Dec. 25 in their return to the Barclays Center. Brooklyn native Taj Gibson led six Chicago players in double figures with 20 points.
Noah finished three assists shy of a triple-double in last month's win over the Nets, and had 14 points and 13 rebounds.
Brooklyn's Jason Collins will make his home debut for the Nets since becoming the NBA's first openly gay player Feb. 23.
