|
| |  | NEW ORLEANS: GUARDS: JRUE HOLIDAY is perfect for head coach Monty Williams. He defends and can create in the half-court set . . . ERIC GORDON didn't want New Orleans to match his deal two offseasons ago, and he spent last year letting everyone know it. If healthy and motivated (two big 'ifs') he's a 20-point scorer . . . TYREKE EVANS will get some starts at the three and come off the bench at times. Either way, he is the kind of aggressive (if sometimes out-of- control) offensive threat this lineup needs . . . Even after an injury-filled season, ANTHONY MORROW's shooting could earn him a rotation spot . . . AUSTIN RIVERS was overmatched last season, to the point where he didn't seem to belong in the NBA. It's tough to see the win-now Pels relying on him often. FORWARDS: ANTHONY DAVIS was overwhelmed by Williams' complex defensive schemes, and opponents consistently took him out of plays with screen-and-rolls at him. Williams will surely use some of his new talent to allow Davis to roam more on defense . . . RYAN ANDERSON's defensive shortcomings could lead to a drop in playing time, but his shooting and the spacing it creates is too valuable to this offense . . . AL-FAROUQ AMINU will likely split time with Tyreke Evans at the three. He's more valuable defensively, and is starting to show some signs of improvement on offense . . . DARIUS MILLER has a shot to break into the rotation if his defense improves . . . LANCE THOMAS is a long athlete who is capable of playing some good defensive minutes . . . ARINZE ONUAKU most likely won't see the floor for more than a minute at a time. CENTERS: JASON SMITH might be their most complete defensive big man, and that should be enough to earn him solid minutes . . . GREG STIEMSMA is more off a warm body, but he at least gives them another rim-protecting option . . . JEFF WITHEY will spend most of the season on the bench learning Williams' complex schemes. | | MEMPHIS: GUARDS: MIKE CONLEY has steadily improved every season. He's now a borderline All-Star point guard . . . TONY ALLEN is back as the defensive half of Memphis' SG platoon. He's a favorite of new head coach David Joerger, the mastermind of the Grizzlies' suffocating defense as an assistant . . . JERRYD BAYLESS is on the cusp of being one of the NBA's top sixth men. He's the only pure scorer they have on the perimeter . . . MIKE MILLER's minutes will be limited in the regular season, but he's still an effective bench option with his long-range shooting . . . Ultra-athletic rookie JAMAAL FRANKLIN seems like a future rotation guy if/when he grasps Joerger's defensive schemes. FORWARDS: ZACH RANDOLPH has taken a back seat to Marc Gasol, but Z-Bo is still a dangerous low-post scorer. He might give way to Ed Davis a little more often when Memphis needs defense . . . TAYSHAUN PRINCE brought another quality defender to Memphis at last season's trade deadline. He's no better than a fifth option on offense, though . . . QUINCY PONDEXTER is one of the only shooters Memphis has, and he seems ready for a bigger role after a strong postseason performance. If nothing else, he's the heir apparent to Prince . . . ED DAVIS seems ready for a bigger role, but it's not coming behind Randolph and Gasol. He's a back-up for at least one more season . . . JON LEUER gives the Grizzlies another savvy reserve big. CENTERS: He's a bit overrated defensively (good, but not Defensive Player of the Year good), but MARC GASOL has emerged as the centerpiece of the Memphis offense. He's one of the league's best passing big men, to go along with some skill in the post . . . KOSTA KOUFOS gives them another 7-footer who can move the ball, though his role will be much smaller than it was in Denver. |

*Pelicans-Grizzlies Preview* ============================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
New Orleans (15-24) at Memphis (20-19), 5:00 p.m. EDT
The Memphis Grizzlies have been rejuvenated defensively, leading to their longest winning streak of the season.
They'll try to take advantage of the injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans on Monday as they aim for a sixth straight victory.
After recording consecutive wins once in their previous 22 contests, Memphis has won a season-best five in a row, limiting opponents to 90.8 points and 41.6 percent shooting.
Prior to the streak, the Grizzlies were giving up 97.4 points and 46.2 percent from the field.
Memphis' defense played a crucial role down the stretch of a 91-90 home win over Sacramento on Friday, as the Grizzlies (20-19) ended the game on a 10-2 run. The Kings were held to fewer than 100 points for the second time in their last 15 games as Memphis recorded a season-high 13 blocked shots.
Four apiece came from Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, who played his third game in his return from a sprained MCL.
The Grizzlies had 10 blocks in an 82-77 victory at Milwaukee on Wednesday. Friday's victory put them over the .500 mark for the first time since early December.
"We got stops seven of the last eight possessions, and I think I'm counting 10 of the last 13," said coach David Joerger, whose technical foul with 4:01 remaining seemed to spark his team's decisive run. "So, going down the stretch, the intensity was good. We got deflections, got our hands on basketballs, and came up with loose balls."
Mike Conley scored 25 points and has averaged 23.5 over his last six contests while hitting 50.5 percent of his shots.
Courtney Lee has averaged 16.3 points while starting the last four games. He came off the bench in his first two contests with the Grizzlies following his trade from Boston on Jan. 7.
Memphis will be trying to avenge two losses to New Orleans earlier this season, the most recent a 104-98 road defeat Dec. 13.
The Pelicans have gone 4-14 since that game and have dropped their last eight. The skid coincides with Ryan Anderson's absence, as the high-scoring power forward is sidelined indefinitely with a herniated disc.
New Orleans (15-24) is making just 4.8 3-point baskets per game during its losing streak without Anderson, who averages 3.0.
Jrue Holiday - the team leader with 7.9 assists and 1.6 steals a contest - is also out indefinitely with a stress fracture to his right tibia. Tyreke Evans had missed three in a row with a sprained ankle prior to scoring 14 points in Saturday's 97-87 home loss to Golden State.
New Orleans was 13 of 39 from the field in the second half and scored 33 points, its sixth second half of fewer than 45 points in the last eight games.
Anthony Davis tallied 31 points and 17 rebounds, but received little help. Eric Gordon averages 16.3 points but finished with eight and shot 3 of 17.
"We fought tonight and played hard and I'm proud of the guys," said Davis, averaging 22.4 points and 11.1 rebounds during the skid - both above his season averages. "It's adversity. We have to learn how to deal with it."
Gordon scored 25 while going 10 of 12 from the floor in last month's win over Memphis.
Conley has averaged 21.5 points in his last four games against the Pelicans.
