KEY GAME INFORMATION
OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: RUSSELL WESTBROOK is going to likely miss the first 4-to-6 weeks of the regular season after getting another procedure done on Oct. 1 to reduce swelling on his knee. It will probably take him some time to get rid of the rust of not playing all summer . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA should play even more minutes this season with Kevin Martin gone. He has added a three-point shot to his repertoire . . . REGGIE JACKSON could end up absorbing a lot of the minutes that went to James Harden two years ago and Martin last season. But he's nowhere near the offensive threat . . . JEREMY LAMB will push Jackson for that sixth-man role. He's dominated against lesser competition . . . DEREK FISHER will get minutes as a player/coach. FORWARDS: KEVIN DURANT may have to take on an even bigger role in the regular season as the Thunder try to replace Kevin Martin's offensive production. Either way, he's the MVP among the league's non-LeBrons . . . SERGE IBAKA has had his postseason issues and still struggles defensively outside of rim protection, but he has added value with his mid-range shooting . . . NICK COLLISON's biggest skill is his ability to take charges. He'll continue to log big minutes at the four and five as a glue guy . . . One of two very raw young players, PERRY JONES III and ANDRE ROBERSON, has a chance for playing time on a thin team. CENTERS: KENDRICK PERKINS was a disaster in last year's postseason, but still provides the kind of low-post muscle the Thunder look for . . . Rookie STEVEN ADAMS could take over for Perkins down the road, but he's too raw to make an impact this year . . . HASHEEM THABEET fills out the final roster spot.
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.

*Thunder-Clippers Preview* ==========================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Oklahoma City (56-21) at Los Angeles (55-23), 10:30 p.m. EDT

Kevin Durant's remarkable streak may be over, but his history against the Los Angeles Clippers indicates he's likely to start another one.

The superstar forward would rather worry about the Oklahoma City Thunder's performances than his own.

Durant will try to help the Thunder extend their lead over the surging Clippers in the race for second place in the Western Conference on Wednesday night.

Durant is headed for a fourth NBA scoring title with an average of 32.0 points. He had scored at least 25 for 41 consecutive games before coming two points shy in Tuesday's 107-92 win at Sacramento, as he sat out the fourth quarter due to the sizable lead.

The five-time All-Star is happy the streak is over.

"I was getting so many texts after every game. I'm glad that's over with and we can just focus on the team," said Durant, who shot 8 for 13 in 31 minutes. "If we played well and I had 25 points, that took away from how well the team was playing, so I didn't like that. If we lost, it was all about me scoring 25 points and I didn't like that either. I'm glad we can just talk about the team now."

The Thunder (56-21) have already clinched the Northwest Division title, and lead Los Angeles (55-23) by 1 1/2 games for the No. 2 seed in the West with five games left in the regular season - one more than the Clippers.

Despite his reluctant attitude, Durant will surely have a hand in increasing that advantage.

He averages 29.0 points in 24 career meetings with them, scoring 34.2 over the past six. Durant poured in 42 points in the most recent matchup, a 125-117 home loss Feb. 23.

Russell Westbrook struggled from the floor in that one, going 3 for 13 while finishing with 13 points. The point guard will be back in the lineup after coach Scott Brooks rested him Tuesday, as he's done during one game of back-to-back sets since he returned from right knee surgery Feb. 20.

The Pacific Division champion Clippers are looking to continue their impressive surge, which started with the victory over the Thunder two months ago. Since then, they've reeled off 18 wins in 21 games while averaging 110.8 points.

"Our whole message is to worry about ourselves," forward Blake Griffin said. "We know who we are. We just want to sharpen the things we do."

The Clippers, who lead the league with 107.8 points per game, looked primed for a postseason run Sunday, routing the Los Angeles Lakers 120-97 while hitting 56.6 percent from the floor and 10 of 19 from 3-point range.

Like the Thunder, the lopsided score allowed coach Doc Rivers to limit minutes for his starters, including Griffin and guard Chris Paul.

"It's just every game's important as far as I'm concerned," Rivers said. "You just want to keep winning and you just want to do that. It's nice to win and guys have relatively low minutes, so that was good."

Griffin, who will likely find himself matched up with Durant, had 20 points with seven rebounds and six assists in the February meeting with Oklahoma City.

Paul, though, came two boards shy of a triple-double, scoring 18 points and dishing out 12 assists. He enters this matchup averaging 23.8 points over the past six games, while sinking half of his 40 3-pointers.
