KEY GAME INFORMATION
BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS will surely take on more of a distributor role this year, but he's still this team's best option from three-point range, as well . . . JOE JOHNSON started to break down last season, so along with fewer shots (with the upgrade to the rest of the roster), he figures to play fewer regular-season minutes as well . . . JASON TERRY is clearly in the decline phase of his career, but is still the top scoring option among Brooklyn's second unit . . . ALAN ANDERSON gives them another shooter off the bench . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON steps into the back-up point guard spot vacated by C.J. Watson. The injury-prone vet will be one of the more rarely used back-up PGs . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR will be a non-factor. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE still has something left in the tank. While his athleticism is fading, he's still a cagey scorer who can also play some point forward to set up Williams . . . ANDREI KIRILENKO will be a Swiss army knife sixth man and should see plenty of starts as new head coach Jason Kidd rotates which veterans rest . . . REGGIE EVANS was retained for his rebounding ability and willingness to look ridiculous while flopping . . . ANDRAY BLATCHE will continue to settle in as a second-unit big. He's a name to remember for the future, as Kevin Garnett doesn't have much left in the tank . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC will be a seldom-used option as a stretch four . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA is still years away from contributing, and the influx of veterans will further delay his development. CENTERS: Last year did a lot to assuage durability concerns for BROOK LOPEZ. He's highly skilled, and he may be forced to grab more rebounds now that Reggie Evans is on the second unit . . . KEVIN GARNETT will start at power forward. He's still an effective pick-and-pop shooter and pick-and-roll defender, but he'll have to rest often during the regular season . . . MASON PLUMLEE is in no position to help this season.
LA LAKERS: GUARDS: KOBE BRYANT is 35 and coming off a ruptured Achilles. Even if he is ready for the season opener (as expected), Achilles injuries have drained the athleticism out of younger men . . . STEVE NASH enters the year healthy, but the training staff has discussed a minutes cap for the 39-year-old point guard . . . NICK YOUNG could grab that other starting wing spot, opposite his boyhood idol. How those two gunners could co-exist is something we'd love to see . . . STEVE BLAKE looked good in this offense last season, but is strictly a back-up . . . JODIE MEEKS might shoot his way into a much bigger role this season . . . XAVIER HENRY will need to prove a lot to earn himself minutes . . . What are you complaining about, Lakers fans? You got JORDAN FARMAR back! FORWARDS: PAU GASOL should benefit from the departure of Dwight Howard, who never bought into head coach Mike D'Antoni's offense or even tried to mesh with Gasol. D'Antoni's up-tempo, Euro-style system is perfectly suited to Gasol's strengths. And when Nash sits, they can run a lot of sets through their big man . . . WESLEY JOHNSON will have a chance to grab the vacant small forward spot. The former No. 4 overall pick has been a big disappointment through three seasons, but he looked decent as a spot-up shooter last seasons . . . JORDAN HILL will be the first big man off the bench in a thin frontcourt rotation. He can rebound and clean up around the basket a bit . . . ELIAS HARRIS keeps the Gonzaga connection going . . . SHAWNE WILLIAMS has had success for D'Antoni, but he is far removed from his days contributing for the Knicks. CENTERS: CHRIS KAMAN is the consolation prize after Dwight Howard's departure. Yes, it's a monstrous downgrade talent-wise, but as a skilled 7-footer, Kaman at least fits D'Antoni's system better . . . ROBERT SACRE has a chance to develop into a useful back-up center.

*Nets-Lakers Preview* =====================

Brooklyn (25-27) at Los Angeles (19-36), 9:00 p.m. EDT

Nearly every contest of the Brooklyn Nets' 11-game losing streak to the Los Angeles Lakers came with Kobe Bryant on the floor.

While the Nets won't have to contend with Bryant this time, a face from the past will be trying to haunt them instead.

MarShon Brooks, coming off a solid Los Angeles debut, faces the team he began his career with for the first time Sunday night when he suits up for the Lakers, who expect top perimeter scorer Nick Young to return.

Bryant averaged 22.0 points while playing 10 games in Los Angeles' run against Brooklyn (25-28), but he remains sidelined by a knee injury.

The Nets instead will have to worry about Brooks, who played 112 regular-season games for them over the previous two seasons before he was part of the offseason deal that brought Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Brooklyn.

Brooks started this season with Boston and then went to Golden State, which dealt him and Kent Bazemore to Los Angeles (19-36) on Thursday. Those two players combined for 29 points in their first game with the Lakers, a 101-92 win over the Celtics on Friday.

"Me and Kent just wanted to come out here and play with some energy," Brooks said. "I was tired - real tired. But (coach Mike) D'Antoni gives you that confidence and he lets you go out there and play your game. So I felt free doing that."

Brooks and Bazemore received plenty of minutes in the absence of Young, who will return after missing five games due to a knee injury. Young, who has the colorful nickname 'Swagy P,' averages 16.9 points.

"I think we all know what's at stake here, we've all got a lot of one-year deals but my main thing is to just go out there and play as hard as I can and you know, swag out, have fun out there," Young said.

Young scored a game-high 26 points off the bench to help Los Angeles post a 99-94 victory at Brooklyn on Nov. 27, and said D'Antoni mentioned that effort recently.

"Just the other day, he was telling me to bring that energy I had from the beginning when I first played Brooklyn," Young said.

Brooklyn guard Deron Williams missed the first matchup with a sprained left ankle. He is back now, but is 0-18 as a starter against the Lakers at Staples Center, including eight playoff games.

Another advantage for Los Angeles is that the Nets are 2-10 in the second half of back-to-back sets after falling 93-86 at Golden State on Saturday.

It's not hard to see why since Brooklyn features aging veterans like Pierce, Garnett and Andrei Kirilenko. Still, Los Angeles remains wary of what to expect.

"If I am not mistaken, they moved Pierce to the four a lot, they're playing smaller, they spread the floor," D'Antoni said. "Obviously they're smart. Joe Johnson is playing well for them. They have a lot of weapons."

Brooklyn made just 2 of 21 attempts from beyond the arc and committed 16 turnovers against the Warriors.

"I thought we had a lot of good shots, they just didn't fall," Pierce said.

Nets guard Marcus Thornton sat out Saturday with a stomach illness. He has yet to play since being acquired from Sacramento on Wednesday.
