|
| | | BOSTON: GUARDS: RAJON RONDO is the last man standing in Boston. Coming off a torn ACL and with a weakened supporting cast, it's going to be a long year . . . AVERY BRADLEY is the favorite to start alongside Rondo. He's still lost on offense, but his defense will be much needed . . . COURTNEY LEE continues to tease with flashes of talent, but hasn't shown consistency and is no longer 'young' . . . JORDAN CRAWFORD will hoist a lot of shots . . . MARSHON BROOKS fell out of favor in Brooklyn and is just hanging on to an NBA roster spot . . . KEITH BOGANS is in Boston because a new deal made the numbers work on the Nets trade . . . Local product PHIL PRESSEY, an undersized point guard, will try to stick as a back-up. FORWARDS: Suddenly, JEFF GREEN is Boston's first option on offense. He showed an ability to score with 20.1 PPG over 17 starts last season, but he'll be in for a whole new world of attention as the only legitimate scorer on this team . . . BRANDON BASS should continue to hold down the power forward spot, and he'll get to take more shots with the team rebuilding . . . Durability is a major issue for JARED SULLINGER, but he has a chance to play big minutes for a team in need of his offensive skill set . . . A washed-up vet with arguably the worst contract in the NBA, GERALD WALLACE is of little use to the Celtics (or any other team) . . . KRIS HUMPHRIES is also dead weight, but is a more enticing trade chip due to an expiring contract. CENTERS: Rookie KELLY OLYNYK is going to get pushed around, but he has some rare shooting and ball-handling skills for a 7-footer. Boston has little to lose by letting him learn on the job . . . VITOR FAVERANI is a tough-nosed Euro import who gives them insurance behind Olynyk. | | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON KNIGHT slides into Brandon Jennings' point guard slot, but he's a much different player. Knight hasn't proven capable of running the point, and may eventually settle in as an undersized shooter . . . O.J. MAYO will be the focal point of this offense. He should build on his career-best year in Dallas . . . GARY NEAL will give them some instant offense as a sixth man . . . LUKE RIDNOUR provides Knight insurance, and the ability to play either guard spot. He should fit nicely alongside Mayo for stretches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON could crack the rotation as a capable defender with upside as a shooter . . . Second-rounder NATE WOLTERS must knock down jumpers if he's going to get off the bench. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA will once again have to earn his starter's minutes, as the Bucks have loaded up on quality frontcourt depth. He provides more offense than anyone else on the front line . . . CARON BUTLER should start at small forward for this team after freeing himself before ever having to play in Phoenix . . . CARLOS DELFINO will play a key role scoring off the bench. He's a streaky long-range gunner, but defends well enough to stay on the court . . . JOHN HENSON is on the verge of a breakout as an elite rebounder and shot-blocker. He's still a bit behind offensively, which could hold him back in a crowded post rotation . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO was the most intriguing project in a weak draft, but the teenager is nowhere near ready for NBA action. He'll likely see time in the D-League until the second half of the season. CENTERS: We've loved LARRY SANDERS for years, and last year showed why. He's a Defensive POY candidate with a budding offensive game . . . ZAZA PACHULIA reunites with head coach Larry Drew as muscle off the bench . . . EKPE UDOH is likely on the outside looking in for this rotation. |

*Celtics-Bucks Preview* =======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Boston (6-11) at Milwaukee (2-12), 9:00 p.m. EDT
A week ago, a home meeting with the unimpressive Boston Celtics might have looked like an ideal opportunity for the Milwaukee Bucks to end their longest losing streak in more than 16 years.
But with Boston playing better of late, Milwaukee could come even closer to matching its worst skid ever when it hosts the Celtics Saturday night.
The Bucks (2-13) suffered their 11th straight loss with a 92-76 setback at Charlotte on Friday. They showed little sign that the slump will end soon, shooting a season-worst 33.3 percent from the field.
Four more losses would equal the club's 15-game skid set March 4-30, 1996.
"We've just got to be professional, we've got to be men and we've got to stand up," coach Larry Drew said. "This is the NBA, and this is life in the NBA. There's no time to feel sorry for ourselves. The only way we get out of this hole is if we make up our minds to go out there and get out of this hole."
While Friday marked the Bucks' seventh straight road loss, home hasn't been too welcoming either. They've dropped five straight in Milwaukee, scoring 81.6 per game during that stretch on 39.1 percent shooting.
Leading scorer O.J. Mayo (14.6 ppg) continues to struggle, shooting 30.8 percent while averaging 8.8 points over his last six games. He was 2 of 11 on Friday with five points.
Milwaukee managed a 105-98 win in Boston on Nov. 1 despite just eight points from Mayo on 2-of-9 shooting.
The Celtics (7-11) have won two straight on the road and look improved recently, winning three of four overall, including a 103-86 home victory over Cleveland on Friday.
Boston raced out to an 18-2 lead and limited the Cavaliers to 37.2 percent shooting for the night. Opponents are shooting 41.1 percent over the last four games.
"We got great defensive stops to begin the game with. That's how we got that lead," said Jeff Green, who had 31 points after scoring 26 in Wednesday's loss to Memphis. "We are finally putting everything together. We've had our ups and downs throughout the season ... but it was good to put an all-around good game together."
Jordan Crawford also turned in his third-career triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. His 18.3 scoring average in eight career meetings with Milwaukee is his highest against any team.
Boston could look to exploit a weakened Bucks front line on the glass. The Celtics are averaging a plus-5.3 rebounding margin in their last four games after averaging a minus-3.1 margin in the previous 14 contests. Already without Larry Sanders, Caron Butler didn't play for Milwaukee Friday after his knee swelled up in warmups. Ersan Ilyasova was also limited in the second half due to a hamstring injury.
The Bucks rank near the bottom of the league with 39.4 rebounds per game.
Boston had won seven of nine in Milwaukee prior to losing the teams' second meeting there last season.
