|
| | | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: With Isaiah Thomas out, DARREN COLLISON steps in at the point. He looked good backing up Chris Paul in L.A. and will benefit from a wide-open offense. But it's not clear if can he handle full-time minutes after flopping as a starter in Dallas . . . BEN McLEMORE has to get it going early if he's going to keep his starting job. There's raw talent, but McLemore has a reputation for fading into the background, and was wholly unimpressive last season . . . NIK STAUSKAS will push McLemore for minutes immediately. He'll be overmatched defensively at times, but he can shoot it and moves the ball well offensively . . . It seems like RAY McCALLUM will be a solid enough back-up point guard for the next few years . . . RAMON SESSIONS will push Collison for minutes and could eventually unseat him as the Kings' starter. FORWARDS: RUDY GAY is a low-efficiency player who needs the ball in his hands, but head coach Michael Malone seems willing to let him do his thing . . . Power forward is a black hole in Sacramento. JASON THOMPSON might open the season as the Kings' primary 4, though he struggled mightily in his first season under Malone . . . DERRICK WILLIAMS has never shed that 'tweener label. The team will try to milk some second unit productivity out of him . . . REGGIE EVANS will continue to turn flopping into an art form. An obnoxious art form . . . CARL LANDRY is a question mark as he works his way back from a torn meniscus . . . Tell the world OMRI CASSPI is coming home. CENTERS: He made some real strides under Malone last year, and DeMARCUS COUSINS' improved shot selection has finally made him one of the league's better big men. He spends much less time floating on the perimeter hoisting contested 18-footers. | | 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. |

*Kings-Pacers Preview* ======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Sacramento (16-28) at Indiana (17-31), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Indiana Pacers haven't seen much go their way, but they're hoping to build on a promising performance.
Indiana would appear to have good chance to do just that Saturday night against the visiting Sacramento Kings, who are mired in their longest losing streak in four seasons.
Sitting at the bottom of the Central Division, the Pacers (17-31) rank among the NBA's lowest scoring teams with 95.0 points per game. Indiana, however, is giving up an average of 96.9 to rank among the league leaders.
Coach Frank Vogel's team was clicking on both ends of the floor in Thursday's 103-82 win over New York. Rodney Stuckey scored 22 points for the second consecutive game and Roy Hibbert added 18 as the Pacers shot a season-high 53.2 percent.
"It's been a long time since we've had a win like that," backup center Ian Mahinmi said. "It's good to see that tonight the ball movement was good, the shooters made some shots, and the guys that were looking for a rhythm got their rhythm. This is a very good win and hopefully it gets us a little momentum."
Indiana held a 49-33 rebounding edge and outscored the Knicks 50-26 in the paint. The Pacers, who had dropped their previous three home games, improved to 2-8 over their last 10 overall.
"It's rewarding, because the guys have been working really, really hard all season, and we haven't really gotten a big payoff," Vogel said. "It was good to have a little fun. ... We all really believe in momentum. It's tough to stop when you're struggling and obviously when you get going, hopefully you can string together a couple wins and sustain it."
The Kings (16-29) are looking for anything positive after dropping eight in a row for the first time since 2010-11, including their last three by an average of 17.6 points. Sacramento hasn't lost nine straight since March 31-April 13, 2009.
The Kings' woes continued in Friday's 101-90 loss at Cleveland, their 11th in 12 games away from home. DeMarcus Cousins finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds and a season-high five steals, but he shot 5 of 17 as the Kings were held to 35.7 percent from the floor - their worst mark on the road this season.
"I think a lot of guys are lost right now," said Cousins, who earlier in the day became Sacramento's first All-Star selection since Brad Miller and Peja Stojakovic in 2004. "We need to find our roles. With the whole pace thing, things are kind of wacko."
Cousins is averaging 26.1 points at home compared to 21.8 on the road. He missed this season's first matchup against Indiana with a viral infection, but the Kings won 102-101 in overtime Dec. 5 as Carl Landry banked in the winning basket from three feet out.
Rudy Gay scored 27 points while Darren Collison added 20 against his former team.
The Kings have played a combined four OTs in their last five matchups against the Pacers, who had won the previous four meetings. Indiana has taken four of five in the series at home.
Sacramento has been outscored by an average of 15.4 points in losing all five road games against the Eastern Conference.
