|
| |  | CLEVELAND: GUARDS: KYRIE IRVING is the real deal, a heady playmaker and near-elite shooter. He should emerge as the NBA's next great point guard this season . . . Rookie DION WAITERS has a chance to step right into the starting lineup. He can get to the rim and generally makes good choices withthe ball. The only thing holding him back is defense after playing college ball in Syracuse's lazy zone . . . C.J. MILES will reportedly start at either the two or three spot, but he really needs to find the range on his shot again for him to stick in the starting lineup . . . Gunning combo guard DANIEL GIBSON is looking like he'll be their sixth man . . . The Cavs are still trying to figure out their second unit. JEREMY PARGO figures to be Irving's backup, but DONALD SLOAN is a better defender and could eventually pass him for this role, which doesn't mean many minutes unless Irving gets injured again. FORWARDS: TRISTAN THOMPSON is trying to add a perimeter shot to his repertoire. Don't count on him becoming David West, but he should improve offensively to go along with his rebounding and shot-blocking . . . ALONZO GEE returns as the starting small forward, excelling on the defensive end, but without a polished enough offensive game to earn 35 minutes per night . . . OMRI CASSPI was in and out of the rotation late in the year as he battled knee issues. It's getting close to make-or-break time for him . . . JON LEUER is a solid stretch four who has a real chance at a rotation spot . . . SAMARDO SAMUELS reportedly dropped some weight in his effort to find some minutes . . . LUKE WALTON is an unofficial member of the coaching staff . . . Undrafted rookie KEVIN JONES could make some noise with his work on the offensive boards . . . LUKE HARANGODY is more of a D-League talent. CENTERS: ANDERSON VAREJAO's wrist should be 100 percent, and Sideshow Anderson should be the same relentless, double-double threat he's always been . . . Rookie TYLER ZELLER is a 7-footer with some nice offensive skills -- he can knock down a jump shot in the half court, and run the floor. He'll struggle to defend in space, but made a living drawing charges at UNC, and should be able to play 20+ minutes as a rookie. | | MEMPHIS: GUARDS: The Grizzlies will scale back MIKE CONLEY's minutes a bit. He's a quality starting point guard, but seemed to lose some pep as last season wore on . . . TONY ALLEN figures to see more playing time now that O.J. Mayo is gone. He's an outstanding defender who will be the fifth option on offense . . . JERRYD BAYLESS figures to become the new sixth man and Allen platoon partner. He'll also spell Conley at the point, leading to solid minutes for the combo guard . . . Second-year man JOSH SELBY has a chance for a rotation spot after starring in the Summer League. He has big offensive upside . . . WAYNE ELLINGTON seems like an emergency plan for the second unit . . . This is likely a redshirt year for talented, but erratic, rookie TONY WROTEN. FORWARDS: RUDY GAY is going to lead the Grizzlies in touches and shots. He's not shy about looking for iso situations . . . ZACH RANDOLPH had trouble getting back into the flow after his knee injury. It's always been a fragile balance with Z-Bo, and he could be an odd man out going forward . . . MARREESE SPEIGHTS should be the offensive focal point of the bench unit as their sixth man . . . QUINCY PONDEXTER is a versatile defensive piece who will see solid minutes off the bench. He's a non-factor offensively, though . . . DARRELL ARTHUR suffered a non-displaced fractured in his leg in late September, and will not likely be ready when the season begins. A rising young big, his role will depend on when his athleticism comes back. CENTERS: The Grizzlies are at their best when MARC GASOL is getting touches and shots on the offensive end. Whether or not Gay and Randolph are willing to share is a concern, but Gasol has to be aggressive when the ball is in his hands . . . HAMED HADDADI will continue to play limited minutes off the bench. |

*Cavaliers-Grizzlies Preview* =============================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Cleveland (3-10) at Memphis (9-2), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Memphis Grizzlies responded in positive fashion after the end of one of their longest win streaks in franchise history and might have the opportunity to start another run during the remainder of their season-high homestand.
The Grizzlies will welcome three struggling opponents in a row to FedExForum, beginning with Monday night's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Memphis fell just short of a franchise-record ninth consecutive win and lost for the first time in 16 regular-season contests at home last Monday, 97-92 to Denver. After getting a couple days off, the Grizzlies responded with a 106-98 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.
Rudy Gay scored 21 points while helping his team extend its best start in franchise history and Zach Randolph recorded his 11th consecutive double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. The Grizzlies (9-2) also scored 29 points off 18 turnovers, extending the NBA's longest active streak of 10 or more to 115 games.
"It was good to get the bad taste out of our mouth," center Marc Gasol said. "We really wanted to come out and show our fans we want to play."
The Grizzlies might provide some more wins for their fans over the next three games with Cleveland (3-10), Toronto (3-11) and Detroit (3-11) visiting this week. The Cavaliers are among the worst defensive teams in the league, allowing 102.2 points per game, and have especially labored to contain opponents while going 1-8 on the road.
"We've got to get up for every game," Randolph said. "(Cleveland is) going to play hard so we've got to have energy. Everyone's going to come with their 'A' game so we have to be ready."
The Cavaliers have given up more than 100 points in all but one game away from home this season and allowed a combined 218 in closes losses to Orlando and Miami to open a three-game road trip.
After falling 108-104 to the Magic on Friday, Cleveland allowed the Heat to rally from a seven-point deficit in the final 1:53 of a 110-108 loss. Former Grizzlies guard Jeremy Pargo and Cavaliers first-round draft pick Dion Waiters each had 16 points to lead eight players in double figures.
"Our guys showed a lot of guts, but it's just the little things that are killing us, the little things that are killing us especially at the end," coach Byron Scott said. "We just haven't figured it out yet and we did a couple of bonehead things towards the end of the game."
The Cavaliers have lost by a combined 17 points in their last three visits to Memphis and allowing an average of 110.7 points in those games hasn't helped. The Grizzlies pulled away late in last season's only matchup, a 109-101 victory in Memphis on April 23.
They earned that win despite Randolph producing just three points and five rebounds over 20 minutes. He totaled 61 points and 27 rebounds in the previous two visits from Cleveland.
Kyrie Irving had a team-best 25 points for Cleveland in last year's trip to Memphis but won't play in this game. The reigning rookie of the year, averaging 22.9 points in 10 games this season, is out for at least three more weeks with a broken left index finger.
