|
| |  | UTAH: GUARDS: TREY BURKE is likely the lead guard here, though it's really by default. He doesn't have the athleticism to make a lot of plays in the lane, and will have to rely on difficult shot-making . . . He continues to steadily improve, and there could be a bigger role available for ALEC BURKS. He'll have to develop a more consistent three-point shot before he really breaks out though . . . DANTE EXUM is an electrifying athlete, but he's making an enormous jump from essentially high school ball in Australia. He could be a gem in the long run, but don't expect him to do much as a rookie . . . TOURE' MURRY will likely play some garbage minutes. FORWARDS: He ascended to the alpha role in Utah, but GORDON HAYWARD had some struggles with the extra defensive attention. He should improve somewhat, as he knows what's coming, and has added a runner to his repertoire . . . DERRICK FAVORS will play more at the 4-spot this season, and he has the strength to power his way to easy baskets. He's a potential double-double guy . . . RODNEY HOOD had an up-and-down year at Duke despite his physical gifts. He has an NBA-caliber combination of size and athleticism, but right now he's a streaky shooter with a lot of rough edges on his game . . . TREVOR BOOKER is a solid second-unit big man, a defensive bruiser and good screener on offense . . . JEREMY EVANS can dunk, but provides little else . . . STEVE NOVAK will never be a full-time player, but he's still one of the league's elite shooters. CENTERS: He was disappointing last season, but ENES KANTER still has some upside on the offensive end of the floor. How he and Favors will mesh is yet to be seen . . . RUDY GOBERT is a shot-blocking fool, but still ultra-raw | | LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: Head coach Doc Rivers pretty much hands the offense over to CHRIS PAUL, who is very much in his prime. He has a chance to lead the NBA in assists and steals again . . . He was banged up during the regular season, but J.J. REDICK fit nicely next to Paul when healthy . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD will reprise his sixth-man role. He can still fill it up, though he'll lose a bit of playing time if Redick stays healthy . . . JORDAN FARMAR is still hanging around L.A., this time to back up Paul. He'll run point for the second unit . . . C.J. WILCOX is arguably the best shooter in the rookie class, but he's not guaranteed to grab a rotation spot. FORWARDS: He still has flaws in his game, but BLAKE GRIFFIN continues to evolve into a more complete player. His improved shooting, both mid-range and at the line, is a testament to that . . . The Clippers failed to land an upgrade at small forward, so MATT BARNES might be the starter by default again. He's a good glue guy, though his streaky shooting is a frustration . . . The Clippers retained GLEN DAVIS in free agency. "Big Baby" can do some damage against opposing second units during the regular season. CENTERS: Rivers made DeANDRE JORDAN into a full-time player last season. He's a rim protector and rebounder who has made some strides defending in space, but there's a reason the Clippers spent on another big man . . . SPENCER HAWES gives them a different look at the 5-spot, and he can play alongside Jordan as a floor-spacer as well. |

*Jazz-Clippers Preview* =======================
By MATT BECKER STATS Editor
Utah (10-20) at Los Angeles (20-11), 10:30 p.m. EDT
The Los Angeles Clippers went 1-3 over a difficult stretch, but it appears the schedule is about to turn in their favor.
The Clippers try to bounce back from their first home loss in six weeks with a 12th straight victory over the Utah Jazz on Monday night at Staples Center.
After losing in San Antonio and at Southeast Division-leading Atlanta on back-to-back nights, Los Angeles (20-11) opened a nine-game homestand with an impressive 100-86 win over league-best Golden State on Christmas. The Clippers had little left in the tank for an afternoon game against Eastern Conference-leading Toronto two days later, falling behind by as many as 17 in a 110-98 defeat.
"It felt like we ran out of gas before the game even started," Chris Paul said.
Paul missed 9 of 12 shots and matched a season low with 10 points. He averaged 23.3 points in his previous four games.
"Every team I've ever been on, you go through a stretch we've been on, you have some slippage," J.J. Redick told the Clippers' official website. "We've just played a lot of games in a short amount of time. We've had some road games, some road trips, been east three times before Christmas. It's been hard to practice. There's some continuity lost by not doing that."
Los Angeles' eight-game home winning streak ended Saturday, but it seems to have a good chance for a couple more victories at Staples Center by facing New York on New Year's Eve and Philadelphia two days later.
Before looking ahead to the East's two worst teams, the Clippers first turn their attention to the Jazz, a team they've beaten 11 straight times since a 108-79 loss on Jan. 17, 2012.
This is Los Angeles' longest active win streak over a single opponent, and Utah's longest active losing streak to one team.
Blake Griffin led the way in the two meetings this season, scoring 31 in a 107-101 home win on Nov. 3, and 28 in a 112-96 victory in Utah on Nov. 29. The Clippers shot a season-best 56.3 percent at Salt Lake City, and have made at least half their shots in five of the last six meetings at Staples Center.
The Jazz (10-20) arrive in Los Angeles having won four of five following a 1-12 stretch, though, three of their latest victories have come over teams with losing records.
Utah forced 18 turnovers and limited the 76ers to an opponent season-low 32.4 percent shooting in Saturday's 88-71 victory. The Jazz had a one-point lead in the fourth quarter and outscored Philadelphia 29-16 over the final 12 minutes to pull away.
"We executed at the end of the game," Utah coach Quin Snyder said. "That was the one thing, I thought, for us that you could take away as a positive."
Derrick Favors led the surge down the stretch, getting seven points and six rebounds in the fourth. He finished with 17 points, a season high-tying 15 rebounds and five blocked shots.
Gordon Hayward had a rough night against Philadelphia, going 4 of 14 after shooting 55.1 percent - including 9 of 14 from 3-point range - in his previous four games. He has had no trouble finding his shot against the Clippers this season, totaling 57 points and hitting 9 of 17 3-pointers.
Trey Burke, who had 17 points Saturday, has been not nearly as efficient versus Los Angeles, combining for nine points on 2-of-11 shooting.
