|
| |  | 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 JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
Boston (18-33) at Milwaukee (9-41), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The already-reeling Milwaukee Bucks have added another key player to an injured list that seems to be getting longer by the day.
Larry Sanders is questionable for Monday night's home contest against the Boston Celtics as the Bucks look to avoid an 18th defeat in 20 games.
Milwaukee (9-41) has the NBA's worst record and hasn't won back-to-back games all season. After a rare victory over New York last Monday, the Bucks have dropped two straight, including a 101-95 loss to Houston on Saturday to begin a six-game homestand.
Brandon Knight scored 23 points and Khris Middleton added 20 as Milwaukee's late rally fell short.
"I thought for the most part, we hung in there," coach Larry Drew said. "The first half we really were just trying to make it work after we lost Larry Sanders."
Sanders left in the first quarter after taking an accidental elbow to the head from James Harden. He experienced blurred vision and did not return, and Drew will decide before this game if Sanders can play.
The Bucks already are dealing with a plethora of injuries. Ekpe Udoh has missed the last eight games with a sprained ankle, O.J. Mayo has missed seven straight with an illness and Luke Ridnour has been out three of the last five with a back problem.
Caron Butler's injured ankle has kept him out the last two, and Ersan Ilyasova sat out Saturday with a sore back.
Rookie Nate Wolters took advantage of the extra minutes and finished with a season-high 19 points, hitting 9 of 15 from the field.
"Coach gave me a lot of minutes so I just tried to be aggressive," Wolters said. "I got into a bit of a rhythm."
The Bucks have dropped 19 of 24 at home this season, though one of those victories came against Boston. Knight scored 20 and John Henson had 13 points and 13 boards in a 92-85 win Nov. 30.
Milwaukee hosts New Orleans on Wednesday in its last contest before the All-Star break.
"We've got to win at home. We haven't done a very good job of that this year," Wolters said. "Hopefully we can get a couple wins here going into the All-Star break."
After dropping the first two meetings with the Bucks, the Celtics got 18 points from Jeff Green in a 108-100 victory Dec. 3. Green also scored 18 points Sunday against Dallas, but Boston (18-34) had its three-game winning streak end with a 102-91 home defeat.
Rajon Rondo, who missed each of the first three meetings with the Bucks while recovering from ACL surgery, finished with 15 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds for the Celtics, who trailed by as many as 24.
"We still kept it close. That was the beauty of it," said Jared Sullinger, who had 11 points and 12 rebounds. "We played hard, but they just got away and the deficit was so big we couldn't dig ourselves out of that hole."
It's unclear if Rondo will play in the second of a back-to-back set, as coach Brad Stevens has given him extra rest in two such situations since he returned Jan. 17.
Rondo also sat out Friday's win over Sacramento for Boston, which has won two of three on the road after dropping 10 straight away from home.
