|
| |  | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: Late last year, JOHN WALL finally started to fulfill his promising talent. He got wherever he wanted on the court, and the Wizards were very tough to guard with all the shooters surrounding him . . . BRADLEY BEAL and Wall should mesh beautifully. Beal is a potentially elite shooter, and he rebounds very well for a guard . . . ERIC MAYNOR is fully healthy again after tearing his ACL two seasons ago. He can play some alongside Wall, but mostly he'll be the league's best back-up point guard again . . . GLEN RICE JR. doesn't shoot it nearly as well as his father, but he's an athlete who could break into the rotation down the line . . . GARRETT TEMPLE is insurance in case Wall or Maynor goes down. FORWARDS: The Wizards need NENÊ’S low post offense. It seems inevitable that they'll have to cap his minutes . . . OTTO PORTER is likely to step into the starting lineup early on. They need his defense, as he can guard twos through fours . . . MARTELL WEBSTER will platoon with Porter, providing another outstanding shooter for Wall to feed . . . TREVOR ARIZA is playing out the string on an untradeable deal . . . TREVOR BOOKER has some use as a screener and low-post banger, but not much else . . . AL HARRINGTON may be inefficient, but he can score points in a hurry and is a decent defender'JAN VESELY is still trying to figure out the NBA, though it's too early to give up on his athleticism . . . CHRIS SINGLETON can defend, but he's no more than a garbage-time player due to his atrocious offense. CENTERS: EMEKA OKAFOR may be absurdly overpaid, but he's settled in as a passable starter who helps defensively and doesn't hurt on offense. He'll also miss the beginning of the season with a herniated disc . . . With Okafor's deal expiring at the end of the year, KEVIN SERAPHIN is auditioning to be Washington's center of the future. After showing promise two seasons ago, he was a disaster last season. | | 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. |

*Wizards-Bucks Preview* =======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Washington (32-29) at Milwaukee (12-49), 9:00 p.m. EDT
The Washington Wizards appear poised to end a five-season drought without a postseason appearance. Given the way they're playing lately, they might even climb high enough in the standings to secure home court in the first round of the playoffs.
Washington visits the struggling Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, looking for their longest road winning streak since Michael Jordan was a Wizard.
The Wizards (32-29) are currently fifth in the East and look primed for their first playoff appearance since 2008. They're 1 1/2 games behind Chicago for the fourth seed, which would grant them home-court advantage in the conference quarterfinals.
They've won seven of eight following Wednesday's 104-91 home win over Utah and have been particularly prolific on offense over the last five games, averaging 115.8 points on 50.3 percent shooting - 42.9 from 3-point range. Prior to that stretch, the Wizards averaged 99.3 points on 45.1 percent shooting.
Trevor Ariza scored 26 against the Jazz and is averaging 19.5 points over his last 10 games while going 41 of 65 from beyond the arc (63.1 percent). He had previously averaged 14.0 points on 38.3 percent 3-point shooting this season.
John Wall, a 33.2 percent shooter from distance on the season, is also 12 for 30 (40.0 percent) during the team's 7-1 stretch.
"We've been moving the ball really well as a team," said Ariza, who is 10 of 23 from deep over his last three games against the Bucks. "Rebounding on the defensive end and getting out in transition has been big for us as a whole. Not only myself, but Brad (Beal), Al (Harrington) and everybody else that shoots 3s as well."
Milwaukee has the league's worst 3-point percentage defensively, allowing opponents to shoot 38.2 percent.
The Wizards have won four straight away from home, and a victory Saturday would match the franchise's longest road winning streak since it won six in a row from Dec. 6-22, 2001, the first of Jordan's two seasons with the club.
The worst team in the league, the Bucks (12-49) suffered their fourth defeat in five games after Friday's 112-104 loss at New Orleans. They were without Ersan Ilyasova, who was suspended tor throwing a punch at Reggie Evans in Wednesday's loss to Sacramento.
O.J. Mayo was also ejected in the first quarter of Friday's contest after he was assessed with a flagrant-2 foul after he appeared to hit Greg Stiemsma in the chest.
"I reacted the wrong way and handled it for sure the wrong way," said Mayo, who played less than three minutes. "I want to apologize to the Bucks fan base, the city of Milwaukee and obviously New Orleans and the (fans) who came out and watched the game. It's definitely the wrong way to conduct yourself. I've got to be better and I will."
One bright spot for Milwaukee has been the play of Khris Middleton, who scored 25 against the Pelicans. He's scored 20 or more points four times in his last 13 games after doing so five times in the first 73 contests of his career. He's also shooting 51.6 percent from beyond the arc over his last 15 games.
Middleton scored a career-high 29 in a 109-105 overtime win in Washington on Dec. 6. The Wizards took the first meeting 100-92, also in overtime, at Milwaukee on Nov. 27.
Marcin Gortat is averaging 20.7 points on 74.3 percent shooting over his last three games at Milwaukee.
