|
| | | 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. | | 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.. |

*Hawks-Bulls Preview* =====================
Atlanta (18-14) at Chicago (13-18), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Atlanta Hawks will have to show some resiliency to recover from a difficult loss even though they haven't been very successful lately in winning the second half of back-to-back games.
The Hawks have lost five straight contests in those circumstances heading into Saturday night's road matchup with the Chicago Bulls.
Atlanta (18-15) will look to bounce back from Friday's agonizing 101-100 home defeat to Golden State. The Warriors' Andre Iguodala inbounded the ball with 2.8 seconds left to Stephen Curry, who was double-teamed and fed Iguodala for the winning 3-pointer as time expired.
"We defended the initial action pretty well," said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, whose team gave up 37 points in the fourth quarter. "Steph Curry demands a lot of attention. We got the ball out of his hands, and then they made a tough shot. It's a credit to Iguodala, a credit to Curry for making the pass."
The Hawks won on their first two occasions playing the second contest of back-to-backs, but have lost five straight such games - including defeats to lowly Orlando and New York.
Chicago (13-18) fits that description as a lowly opponent, but Atlanta will return to the United Center for the first time since a 97-58 defeat last Jan. 14. That marked its second-lowest point total in the shot clock era and included a dreadful five-point second quarter.
The Hawks, who have dropped four straight regular-season games in Chicago, are a different team now with the departure of Josh Smith and the addition of Paul Millsap, who is averaging a career-high 17.7 points.
"Millsap is one of those guys who I think if you don't know him and study him, you don't realize how good he is," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "When he was in Utah, he played very well for Utah."
Thibodeau was asked about former Bulls forward Kyle Korver, who extended his NBA record streak of games with at least one 3-pointer to 102 on Friday. The coach made sure to note that five Hawks other than Korver have made at least 25 3-pointers.
"(Jeff) Teague is playing incredible for them," Thibodeau said. "They have a lot of guys shooting 3s, they're going to make 25 3s.
"Lou Williams is shooting the 3. They have some guys like Millsap who have improved their range, he's shooting 3s. Their bigs can all step out and shoot. It puts a lot of pressure on you in many different ways."
The Bulls won for the second time in eight home games, 94-82 over Boston on Thursday. Joakim Noah fell an assist shy of his fourth career triple-double and Carlos Boozer added 16 points.
"We have to turn it around," Noah said. "To do that, everybody has to go in and give everything they have. We can't take any nights off."
Boozer missed practice Friday, so his status is unclear. Luol Deng has scored 30 points in two games since returning after missing five due to a sore Achilles, and his minutes are being limited.
Noah usually goes up against his former Florida Gators teammate Al Horford in these matchups, but Horford is out for the season with a torn right pectoral muscle.
