|
| |  | 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 ELI KABERON STATS Writer
Utah (16-30) at Los Angeles (33-16), 10:30 p.m. EDT
While the Los Angeles Clippers won't blame a noticeable amount of fatigue for the end of their latest winning streak, it's hard to deny that their recent schedule has been rather full.
Set to play their 10th game in 15 days, the Clippers will look to bounce back Saturday night at Staples Center with an eighth straight victory over the Utah Jazz.
Los Angeles held off Washington 110-103 on Wednesday, but never led in Thursday's 111-92 loss at Golden State - its first defeat in five games and just its third in its last 13. The Warriors held a 66-22 edge in points in the paint and a 53-34 advantage in rebounding as the Clippers (33-16) were held 14 points below their season average while playing their fifth game in seven nights.
"It is what it is. At the end of the day everybody goes through something like this at some point and I swear everybody plays 82 (games),' said coach Doc Rivers. "We're doing well through it; we've lost one game, this one. Now we've got to try to get our legs back in time for (Utah)."
After playing eight of nine on the road, the Clippers will play six of their next seven at Staples. Even more enticing for Los Angeles, it won't play another back-to-back set until after the All-Star break and has just one between now and St. Patrick's Day after having three in the past two weeks.
"It won't be easy but we'll get home, get some rest, regroup and get back on our horse," guard Jamal Crawford said.
This time, it'll be the Jazz who are playing the second end of a back-to-back. Utah (16-30) had a chance to record its first three-game winning streak of the season Friday against Golden State, but couldn't hang on to a seven-point halftime lead as Stephen Curry had 44 points in the Warriors' 95-90 victory.
Despite the loss, the team got another strong performance from guard Alec Burks. Burks averaged 18.8 points as a starter in the five games Gordon Hayward missed with a hip flexor, and he's averaged 17.3 off the bench in the past four as a reserve after putting up 26 on Friday.
Burks may need to step up again Saturday. Marvin Williams (heel) and Derrick Favors (hip) missed Friday's loss and starter Jeremy Evans left in the second quarter after a nasty fall.
All are questionable against the Clippers as Utah tries to improve on its 3-7 record on the second night of a back-to-back.
One of those losses came on Dec. 28 at Staples Center as Blake Griffin scored a season-high 40 points and Los Angeles won 98-90.
Griffin has averaged 25.4 points in the 14 games Chris Paul has been out of the lineup.
