|
| |  | UTAH: GUARDS: TREY BURKE is a savvy floor general who can shoot, but he's also short and a mediocre athlete (and we've seen how that's worked out for Brandon Knight). He'll step right in at the point, but immediate success is hardly guaranteed . . . ALEC BURKS is locked in at the two. He'll be able to hang in defensively, and he's a decent ball-handler and passer. His shaky jumper is an issue . . . BRANDON RUSH returns from an ACL tear and could emerge as the sixth man . . . JOHN LUCAS III is here as a Plan B at the point and to help mentor Burke a bit . . . IAN CLARK won't see a lot of action as a rookie, but he can play either guard spot. FORWARDS: DERRICK FAVORS will run into foul trouble, but he will be a nightly double-double threat and rim protector . . . GORDON HAYWARD becomes Utah's No. 1 option on offense. He'll struggle to create his own shot with defenses focusing on him, but he is a knock-down, three-point shooter who's improving off the dribble . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS is coming off heel surgery and will miss at least the first month of the season. He's not a part of Utah's long-term plans, but will likely see minutes due to the team's lack of depth . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is a player/coach at this point in his career . . . JEREMY EVANS will be brainstorming for the dunk contest. CENTERS: ENES KANTER is a major upgrade over Al Jefferson as a defender and in the team concept on offense. He immediately becomes one of the league's better starting centers . . . ANDRIS BIEDRINS at least has a chance to reestablish himself as a capable back-up . . . RUDY GOBERT has freakish size, but he's a major project who is nowhere near ready to contribute. | | LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: CHRIS PAUL is back with the Clippers, and this time with his handpicked head coach. Not that Doc Rivers will make a big difference though, as he's just as uncreative an offensive tactician as Vinny Del Negro was . . . J.J. REDICK will do less ball-handling than he did in Orlando the first half of last season, but he should feast on the wide-open looks Paul creates for him . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD will once again be a Sixth Man of the Year candidate. He's a pure gunner with some creativity to his game . . . DARREN COLLISON is strictly a back-up after a dreadful one-year stint in Dallas . . . WILLIE GREEN, a starter in name-only last year, may be squeezed out of the rotation. FORWARDS: BLAKE GRIFFIN deferred more often last season, especially as he continues to see more double teams. But he did show improvement as a passer . . . JARED DUDLEY steps into Caron Butler's old role. He'll set up for a lot of wide-open corner threes. His reputation as a quality defender is downright wrong . . . MATT BARNES will often close games due to his defense, and he's coming off one of his best offensive seasons . . . Rookie REGGIE BULLOCK is the kind of spot-up shooter the Clips want to surround Paul with. If Bullock's defense matches up with his athleticism, he could break this rotation . . . It's tough to see how BYRON MULLENS fits on a team with postseason aspirations. CENTERS: Though he's the team's only real rim protector, DEANDRE JORDAN will likely be in a part-time role again. He still can't defend the pick-and-roll, and Rivers got by just fine without a shot-blocker in Boston . . . RYAN HOLLINS is little more than a big body with six fouls to give. Blake Griffin will often slide to the five on this team. |

*Jazz-Clippers Preview* =======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Utah (9-23) at Los Angeles (20-11), 10:30 p.m. EDT
After suffering two road losses in painfully close fashion, the Los Angeles Clippers will likely welcome a lesser opponent in its return home.
Meanwhile, the lowly Utah Jazz hope to find some momentum from a last-second victory.
Los Angeles aims for its seventh straight victory in the series on Saturday night.
The Clippers (20-11) are coming off a 116-112 overtime loss at Portland on Thursday despite committing a season-low six turnovers to the Trail Blazers' 17.
One of their biggest disadvantages came on the glass where they were outrebounded 60-48.
"They didn't actually get them (rebounds) when we went small, which is amazing," coach Doc Rivers said. "We were helping a lot. When you have to help, it does create somebody with a body off of them and I thought they took advantage of that."
However, it was also the fifth straight game in which Los Angeles was outrebounded after losing out 49-38 in Wednesday's 105-103 loss at Golden State. Rivers' team is being outrebounded by an average of minus-8.4 over the last five contests, far worse than its minus-1.5 margin on the season.
Other than DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin, Chris Paul's 3.8 rebounds per game are the most on the team during the last five games.
Friday's loss also came despite big performances from Griffin, who had 35 points and 11 rebounds, and Paul, who added 34 points and 16 assists. Griffin was playing a night after a controversial ejection for two technical fouls against the Warriors, which the NBA described Thursday as a mistake by the officials.
"It'd be different if we lost both games by 15 or 20 points, but to lose two emotional games like that is tough," Jamal Crawford told the team's website. "I think, honestly, those ones are tougher to digest than losing by 20. Sometimes you lay an egg and you come out and you just don't have it that night, but to have the opportunity to win both of them is tough."
The Clippers have been much better at home however, going 12-2 and averaging 111.9 points compared to 99.7 per game on the road.
The Jazz (9-23) come in feeling good about themselves after a dramatic 105-103 home win over the Lakers on Friday. Derrick Favors had a putback dunk with 2.1 seconds left on Gordon Hayward's missed shot, converting what he said was the first game-winning shot of his career at any level.
"The two big guys for the Lakers went over and altered his shot a little bit," said Favors, who had 18 points and 14 rebounds. "It went off the rim and I was just there for the offensive rebound."
Utah has struggled against the Clippers, losing six straight after winning 11 of the previous 12. Los Angeles is averaging 107.8 points on 49.9 percent shooting during its six-game winning streak, and Paul is averaging 22.2 points during that stretch.
