KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO: GUARDS: There's no medical reason why DERRICK ROSE can't be 100 percent healthy this year. But, as we saw in abbreviated action last season, his confidence may never come back . . . JIMMY BUTLER will still play major minutes this year, though Chicago's added depth on the wing means he's no longer a candidate to lead the league in playing time . . . KIRK HINRICH will return to a straight back-up role. His defense guarantees him minutes at both guard spots in a reserve role . . . TONY SNELL was inconsistent as a rookie, but has the defensive skill set to play solid minutes . . . AARON BROOKS gives the Bulls a more offense-heavy option to lead the second unit. He has his work cut out for him to claim the role D.J. Augustin held last season. FORWARDS: Despite the rough end to his Lakers career, PAU GASOL still has something left in the tank. He will see fewer minutes in a deep Bulls frontcourt, but he's a great fit on the offensive end . . . It seems like only a matter of time before MIKE DUNLEAVY relinquishes his starting spot. The Bulls now have plenty of shooters on this roster . . . TAJ GIBSON will reprise his sixth-man role. He'll be one of the league's top reserves; talent-wise he's a borderline All-Star . . . Rookie DOUG McDERMOTT will supplant Dunleavy once he grasps head coach Tom Thibodeau's defensive concepts. McDermott is an elite shooter who can get by defensively . . . NIKOLA MIROTIC might have some growing pains, but the Euro star can play the 3 or stretch-4 and has a very good offensive game. CENTERS: JOAKIM NOAH is an elite center, as he's outstanding defensively and has developed into one of the best passing big men in the NBA. The Bulls will do what they can to keep him fresh for the postseason, a luxury they have with Gasol and Mirotic adding depth to the frontcourt rotation. NAZR MOHAMMED is back as a big body with the ability to consistently keep the bench warm.
INDIANA: GUARDS: Indy couldn't find an upgrade on GEORGE HILL this offseason, and losing Lance Stephenson and Paul George means Hill will have to play a more traditional ball-handling role this year . . . RODNEY STUCKEY's combo-guard skills probably make him the best fit alongside Hill. Whether he's up to the task defensively will decide whether he's a full-time player or a time-share guy . . . C.J. MILES will help fill the need for perimeter shooting, especially with Paul George out . . . They have a solid veteran back-up in C.J. WATSON. He's the closest thing to a pure point guard on this roster, and is a bigger need for the second unit than the starting five. FORWARDS: PAUL GEORGE was poised for an MVP run, but he'll now miss the season after a compound leg fracture during Team USA practice. He's no guarantee to ever return at full strength . . . DAVID WEST's floor-spacing, mid-range game is key in this system . . . He was a dud in his first season with the Pacers, but Indy might have no choice but to plug LUIS SCOLA into their thin frontcourt rotation . . . DAMJAN RUDEZ is a stretch-4 with three-point range. He could push Scola for a rotation spot . . . The Pacers are hoping SOLOMON HILL is ready to be a second-unit glue guy . . . LAVOY ALLEN brings size and opposable thumbs . . . They seemingly have little use for CHRIS COPELAND after signing Rudez. CENTERS: As strange as it seems, ROY HIBBERT might benefit most from the departure of Lance Stephenson. The big man was referring to Stephenson when he talked about selfish play. Of course, Hibbert's atrocious performance late last season is a problem in and of itself . . . IAN MAHINMI has size and six fouls to give.

*Bulls-Pacers Preview* ======================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Chicago (21-9) at Indiana (11-20), 7:00 p.m. EDT

Jimmy Butler said recently that he's never been the best player on his team, and he doesn't have any interest in being an NBA star.

His strong season has put the first part up for debate. He may not have any choice about the latter if he continues playing at an elite level.

Butler looks to help the Chicago Bulls earn a seventh consecutive victory and end a four-game road losing streak to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night.

Although he prefers to complement teammates like Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah and Pau Gasol, Butler has risen his game to an All-Star level in his fourth season while averaging career highs of 22.0 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

He's averaging 26.3 points during Chicago's six-game winning streak after hitting 12 of 18 from the field and netting 33 in Saturday's 107-100 win over New Orleans.

Rose had 19 points, while Noah and Gasol combined for 15 and had nine rebounds apiece.

"I feel like we got a lot of easy baskets as a team," Butler said. "We rebounded the ball well and we got out into the open court and we got a lot of layups. When we're playing like that, I think we're really, really hard to beat."

The Bulls (21-9) also got 37 points from their reserves.

"I thought our bench gave us a great lift," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "Then down the stretch, Derrick and Jimmy made one big play after the next."

Butler scored 32 points as Rose sat out against the Pacers on Nov. 15, but Chicago fell 99-90 at home as Luis Scola and Solomon Hill scored 21 points apiece for Indiana.

Scola finished with 13 off the bench Saturday as the Pacers (11-20) got another strong effort from their reserves in a 110-85 rout of Brooklyn. Rodney Stuckey scored a team-high 20 points despite blurred vision in his right eye after being hit in Friday's 119-109 loss at Detroit.

"I'm fine. It's a little blurry," Stuckey said. "Just got to play through it. We were short-handed. C.J. Miles was out (with an upper respiratory infection). (Donald Sloan) didn't make the trip. Just needed to play."

Indiana ranks among the league leaders in points per game off the bench with 40.2, and it outscored the Nets' reserves 52-16. Former Bull C.J. Watson led the bench with 17 points as the Pacers won for the third time in four games after dropping 10 of 11.

"I'm really pleased with how we're moving the basketball," coach Frank Vogel said. "We had a sour taste in our mouth from how we played (against Detroit). We recognized we're not as bad as it looked when we watched the tape. We stayed true to what we're building here."

It's unclear if Miles or Sloan will be able to play, but George Hill appears ready to increase his minutes. Hill made his first start Saturday and is averaging 13.3 points in three games since returning from a left knee contusion suffered in the preseason.

Chicago has been playing without Kirk Hinrich, who has missed three straight with a strained left hamstring.

"Just day to day right now," Thibodeau said. "We'll see how he feels (Sunday)."

Rose has missed three meetings during the Pacers' home winning streak against the Bulls, who are tied with Golden State for the league's second-best road record at 13-4.
