|
| | | 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. | | MIAMI: GUARDS: He's a shell of his former self, but the Heat will have to squeeze more regular-season minutes out of DWYANE WADE. His effectiveness could depend on whether or not he finally develops a three-point shot . . . The point guard situation is getting muddied, but the Heat dug deep to re-sign MARIO CHALMERS. He'll top the PG depth chart again . . . NORRIS COLE is likely too small and too erratic to ever be a starter, but he'll continue to play solid minutes with the second unit . . . The Heat seemed to grab SHABAZZ NAPIER on draft night because he's a LeBron James favorite. Now that James is gone, the rookie could be the odd man out in the point guard rotation. He'll have to overcome subpar measurables. FORWARDS: LUOL DENG is most certainly not LeBron James, and he won't fill anything resembling James' new role. He does give them a strong role player, a defensive stopper and secondary scorer . . . JOSH McROBERTS will facilitate the offense at times and generally serve as a floor-spacing, stretch-4. Miami is built to go small with him and Chris Bosh up front . . . DANNY GRANGER is trying to reinvent himself after an injury-filled couple of seasons. He can play both forward spots and might fit best as a stretch-4 in head coach Erik Spoelstra's system . . . UDONIS HASLEM is essentially a mascot during the regular season . . . JAMES ENNIS could break into the rotation later this season. He was tremendous in Summer League play. CENTERS: CHRIS BOSH is the best player on this team by a significant margin. He'll be the focal point of the offense most nights and should flirt with the 20-10 numbers he used to put up in Toronto . . . CHRIS ANDERSEN will often pair with Bosh in the frontcourt, taking some of the defensive heat off Bosh against bigger lineups. Because of this information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game. |

*Clippers-Heat Preview* =======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Los Angeles (6-4) at Miami (6-5), 8:00 p.m. EDT
It's been a difficult few months for Mario Chalmers, who was criticized for his poor play in the NBA Finals, then lost his starting job at the beginning of the season.
He's now giving the Miami Heat a boost with some of the best basketball of his career in Dwyane Wade's absence.
Miami could use another strong performance from Chalmers with Wade unlikely to play Thursday night against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers.
Chalmers shot a career-high 45.4 percent last season but averaged only 4.4 points on 7-of-21 shooting as Miami lost the NBA Finals in five games to San Antonio. He had started all 214 of the games he appeared prior to opening this season as a backup to Norris Cole.
After Wade suffered a hamstring injury in a Nov. 12 loss to Indiana, Chalmers has averaged 21.0 points on 52.8 percent shooting while playing increased minutes the last three games, including back-to-back starts. He entered the season averaging 8.6 points and shooting 42.7 percent for his career.
Chalmers made a career-best 11 of 13 free throws and led the team in scoring for a third straight game with 22 points in Monday's 95-83 win at Brooklyn, ending a three-game slide for Miami (6-5).
"We needed this game tonight," said Chalmers, whose 11.1 scoring average versus the Clippers is his second-highest against one opponent. "After the losing streak we were on, it's good to get on the road and get a big win like this."
Wade is questionable, as is Luol Deng, who didn't the Nets due to a sprained wrist. Josh McRoberts (foot) is probable after missing the last three games.
Los Angeles (6-4) won 114-90 on Wednesday at Orlando and has alternated wins and losses its last eight games. The Clippers' bench outscored the Magic 60-23 and the starters were rested for the fourth quarter, which could prove crucial later during this seven-game, 11-day road trip.
"It was real big, especially this being a seven-game road trip for us and going to a tough Miami team tomorrow," said Chris Paul, who had 16 points and nine assists in a season-low 30 minutes. "We needed to get that rest."
Paul has shot 37.7 percent in his last five meetings with Miami.
Orlando was 34 of 86 from the floor, marking the third time in four games the Clippers have held their opponent to 39.8 percent shooting or worse. Their first six opponents shot 49.1 percent.
Los Angeles is 2-4 against teams .500 or better and Thursday's game marks the first of three such opponents on this trip along with Memphis and Houston.
Chris Bosh had gone 12 for 49 from the field during Miami's losing streak, but scored 15 on 5-of-11 shooting with nine rebounds against the Nets. He shot 39.3 percent in his last five games against the Clippers.
Miami's three-game series winning streak is its longest since a nine-game run from Dec. 30, 1995-Feb. 13, 2001. Though the Heat are 3-3 at home thus far, they've won five straight in Miami over the Clippers by an average of 16.0 points.
Blake Griffin's 2013-14 season high of 43 came in a 116-112 loss in Los Angeles on Feb. 5.
