|
| |  | INDIANA: GUARDS: GEORGE HILL is less of a creator and more of a game-manager/scorer, which fits fine in this starting five . . . LANCE STEPHENSON continues to be an enigma. His speed pushing the ball in transition is an asset, but his terrible shooting and bizarre decision-making often makes him a liability in the half court . . . C.J. WATSON has proven to be a capable second-unit point guard, but he's on his third team in three years because he's managed to give away two playoff games with monumentally bad moments . . . ORLANDO JOHNSON is unlikely to see meaningful minutes, but his role should grow slightly now that Gerald Green is gone. FORWARDS: This is PAUL GEORGE'S team. Once a do-it-all role player, he's now polished enough to create his own offense . . . As expected, DAVID WEST bounced back in his second season off a torn ACL. He's still deadly as a mid-range shooter, a savvy passer and a strong rebounder . . . LUIS SCOLA slides into Tyler Hansbrough's old role as a second-unit banger, and insurance for West and Roy Hibbert . . . DANNY GRANGER is in no-man's land. He's not better than Paul George, and probably no longer an upgrade over Lance Stephenson. His best asset may be his expiring deal . . . CHRIS COPELAND can't defend, but gives the Pacers a three-point threat . . . SOLOMON HILL doesn't figure to contribute this season. CENTERS: ROY HIBBERT proved capable of handling more minutes last season, but Indy will likely still be cautious with their asthmatic 7-foot-2 center during the regular season . . . IAN MAHINMI is back to give his six fouls and move some bodies out of the paint. | | 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. |

*Pacers-Bucks Preview* ======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Indiana (53-25) at Milwaukee (14-63), 8:00 p.m. EDT
Though trying to earn the top seed in the Eastern Conference is still important to Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel, making sure his team is on track - and rested - has become the bigger goal.
Vogel may hold some key players out Wednesday night as the visiting Pacers go for a sixth consecutive win over the NBA-worst Milwaukee Bucks.
Indiana (53-25) appears to be wearing down with the playoffs approaching, dropping five of six and eight of 11 after a 107-88 loss to Atlanta on Sunday.
Indiana was outplayed from the start, scoring 23 points over the first two quarters for the lowest first-half total in franchise history. The Pacers allowed the Hawks to shoot 56.2 percent, their second-highest mark surrendered this season.
"I don't think it's acceptable for any of us in our organization to play the way we played," said Vogel, whose team opened a franchise-best 9-0 and won 16 of its first 17. "We're just going to get back to work to fix it, to get back on track."
All-Star center Roy Hibbert spent the final 2 1/2 quarters on the bench because Vogel thought he looked fatigued.
"He's down on himself because he felt like he could have helped us, but coach made a decision," teammate David West said. "Coach has to make some tough decisions sometimes."
With things quickly falling apart, Vogel excused all his starters from Tuesday's practice. It remains to be seen what Wednesday's lineup will look like.
"Not everybody will play," Vogel said. "We'll pick our spots over the final four games to get the guys that need rest some rest, and in the meantime try to win all four.
"It is a goal of ours to get the No. 1 seed, but at this point, playing well is our top priority. Being fresh going into the playoffs is the top priority."
The Pacers, right behind Miami for first place in the East, visit the Heat on Friday.
"We can't panic. We've just got to be loose about it," All-Star Paul George said. "We're just putting too much pressure where it doesn't need to be brought. We just got to do what we do. We're in a great position right now."
The Pacers have taken 10 of 12 from the Bucks, including five straight by an average of 16.2 points. Milwaukee, though, put up a fight in the last meeting before falling 101-96 on Feb. 27.
The Bucks (14-63) set the franchise mark for losses in a season with Saturday's 102-98 defeat to Toronto.
"That's not something you want to be associated with," forward John Henson said. "Hopefully we can look back on this and say this was the turning point in what we did in this organization. That's all you can hope for."
Milwaukee has dropped five straight and 13 of 14.
Henson finished with 23 points - two shy of his season high - and Khris Middleton scored 20 on Saturday. Jeff Adrien added 19 and 12 rebounds for the Bucks, who outscored the Raptors 64-34 in the paint and 20-3 in transition.
"We want to win," Henson said, "(and) I think if we can play this competitive as a team every night, I think there are some better days to come."
Brandon Knight, averaging a team-leading 17.5 points, has scored a combined 53 in two meetings with the Pacers this season.
