|
| |  | 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. | | 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. |

*Nets-Pacers Preview* =====================
By JOHN KOSIK STATS Editor
Brooklyn (9-19) at Indiana (23-5), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Indiana Pacers have responded to their only losing streak of the season with their best all-around play of 2013-14.
After spending a majority of this season showcasing an impressive defense, the Pacers have been outstanding on both ends of the floor of late heading into their second straight matchup against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.
The Pacers (23-5) lost back-to-back games against Detroit on Dec. 16 and Miami two days later before scoring a season high in a 114-81 victory over Houston on Dec. 20. They followed that with a 106-79 rout of Boston before beating the Nets 103-86 on Monday.
Indiana, which leads the NBA with 89.4 points allowed per game, had been scoring an average of 97.6 points prior to its recent surge.
Brooklyn native Lance Stephenson, who recorded his NBA-leading third triple-double against the Celtics, scored a career-high 26 against the Nets and Paul George also had 26.
"Lance Stephenson and Paul George just keep putting in special performances and they're really giving us a big lift," Vogel said.
The loss was one that Nets forward Paul Pierce would like to forget after he failed to score while shooting 0 for 7. His only other scoreless night in a 15-year career came in a 10-minute outing against the Charlotte Hornets on March 9, 1999, during his rookie season.
Pierce was also ejected for a flagrant foul on George Hill and subsequently fined $15,000 by the league. During a 20-4 run by the Pacers in the third quarter, Hill was going in for a layup when Pierce tried to wrap him up. His arm ended up going around Hill's neck for a clothesline tackle and referees ruled it a flagrant 2 after review, an automatic ejection, though even Hill wasn't sure it warranted that.
"It was a basketball play. I think back in the day, hard fouls was good," he said. "So, it was a hard foul, but at the end of the day, don't let it rattle you and that's what I thought about."
Indiana, which also beat the Nets in Brooklyn 96-91 on Nov. 9, is 13-1 at home as it gets set to play eight of its next 11 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. The Pacers face only one top-tier team in that time, closing the stretch against the Los Angeles Clippers at home on Jan. 18.
They don't play consecutive road games until a five-game swing that begins Jan. 20.
The Nets (10-19) didn't enjoy a holiday break like the Pacers did, following Monday's defeat with an ugly 95-78 home loss to Chicago on Christmas Day that extended their skid to four games. However, Brooklyn ended that slump Friday night with a 104-93 home win over NBA-worst Milwaukee.
Shaun Livingston scored 20 points, Mirza Teletovic added 19 and Pierce had 13 for the Nets, who used their 13th starting lineup this season. Having Livingston on the floor gave Brooklyn an additional ball handler besides starting point guard Deron Williams.
"We'll see how it goes (Saturday), but I thought those two played extremely well together," coach Jason Kidd said.
The Nets are opening a tough three-game trip that also features matchups at San Antonio on New Year's Eve and Oklahoma City on Thursday.
"This is about as tough as it's going to get as far as a three-game road trip," said Pierce.
Indiana's first win over Brooklyn this season ended a four-game losing streak against the franchise that began with the last meeting on March 28, 2012 when the Nets were still in New Jersey. The Pacers had won 10 straight against them prior to that.
