|
| |  | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out. | | INDIANA: GUARDS: GEORGE HILL is less of a creator and more of a game-manager/scorer, which fits fine in this starting five . . . LANCE STEPHENSON continues to be an enigma. His speed pushing the ball in transition is an asset, but his terrible shooting and bizarre decision-making often makes him a liability in the half court . . . C.J. WATSON has proven to be a capable second-unit point guard, but he's on his third team in three years because he's managed to give away two playoff games with monumentally bad moments . . . ORLANDO JOHNSON is unlikely to see meaningful minutes, but his role should grow slightly now that Gerald Green is gone. FORWARDS: This is PAUL GEORGE'S team. Once a do-it-all role player, he's now polished enough to create his own offense . . . As expected, DAVID WEST bounced back in his second season off a torn ACL. He's still deadly as a mid-range shooter, a savvy passer and a strong rebounder . . . LUIS SCOLA slides into Tyler Hansbrough's old role as a second-unit banger, and insurance for West and Roy Hibbert . . . DANNY GRANGER is in no-man's land. He's not better than Paul George, and probably no longer an upgrade over Lance Stephenson. His best asset may be his expiring deal . . . CHRIS COPELAND can't defend, but gives the Pacers a three-point threat . . . SOLOMON HILL doesn't figure to contribute this season. CENTERS: ROY HIBBERT proved capable of handling more minutes last season, but Indy will likely still be cautious with their asthmatic 7-foot-2 center during the regular season . . . IAN MAHINMI is back to give his six fouls and move some bodies out of the paint. |

*76ers-Pacers Preview* ======================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Philadelphia (5-8) at Indiana (10-1), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Second-half comebacks have spurred the Indiana Pacers into a tie for the best record in the NBA.
An unbeaten home record has also helped.
The Pacers will try to make things easier on themselves and continue their best home start in 11 years Saturday night against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Indiana (11-1) is tied with San Antonio for the league's best record despite trailing at halftime in nine games. They've been able to overcome those scenarios eight times, including Friday's eight-point deficit in a 97-82 win at Boston.
Indiana's average of 41.2 points in the first half is the lowest in the NBA, and 12.9 lower than its second-half production.
"We need to come out and destroy teams early," guard Lance Stephenson said. "We can't rely on the second half to win the game."
A return home could be just what the Pacers need.
They've won all six games there by an average of 15.3 points, limiting opponents to 37.3 percent from the floor. Another strong defensive effort could help Indiana match its 7-0 home start from 2002-03.
"Our starters, as a unit, have a gear defensively that they can reach that's pretty special," coach Frank Vogel said.
Paul George's main contributions come in the offensive end, as he's among the league leaders with 24.6 points per game. The star guard scored 27 against the Celtics, getting 22 on 7 for 13 from the floor in the second half. That came two days after he had a season-high 35 points in a 103-96 overtime win at New York.
Indiana split four meetings with Philadelphia (6-8) last season, including two in Indianapolis. However, they fell 105-95 at home in the regular-season finale April 17, while resting George, David West, Roy Hibbert and George Hill in preparation for the playoffs.
That foursome made a tremendous impact in the previous home meeting with the Sixers, scoring 76 points in a 95-85 victory Dec. 14. George led the way with 28 points and three blocks.
George and the Pacers could be in for another big offensive effort since Philadelphia ranks last in the NBA in scoring defense (109.6). The team has held opponents under the century mark only twice.
The 76ers overcame another lackluster defensive effort in Friday's 115-107 overtime win against Milwaukee. They rallied from a 10-point deficit with 2:10 left in regulation, as Spencer Hawes forced the extra session by hitting a fadeaway 3 with 1.7 seconds to go. The center finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds while hitting half of his six attempts from beyond the arc.
"I guess the basketball gods were looking out for us and Spencer played well all night," said forward Evan Turner, who threw Hawes the inbounds pass before scoring eight of his 27 points in OT.
Turner leads the Sixers with 21.7 points per game after scoring 13.3 last season. He's totaled 38 over his last two visits to Indiana, while Hawes averages 7.4 with 3.3 boards in seven career games there.
