|
| | | PORTLAND: GUARDS: DAMIAN LILLARD might be the most complete offensive point guard in the NBA. He's a legitimately great shooter, and quick enough off the dribble to get wherever he wants inside the paint . . . WESLEY MATTHEWS runs, runs and runs off the ball as a spot-up shooter . . . STEVE BLAKE is most likely to absorb Mo Williams' old sixth-man role. He can take some ball-handling duties, but at this point his value is as a spot-up shooter . . . He had his rookie season erased by injuries, and it's a crowded rotation, but C.J. McCOLLUM might be able to shoot his way into significant minutes . . . WILL BARTON is a practice player unless he develops a three-point shot . . . ALLEN CRABBE will likely bounce between Portland and the D-League again. FORWARDS: LaMARCUS ALDRIDGE's combination of length and mid-range shooting makes him virtually unguardable when he's on . . . NICOLAS BATUM often runs the offense with Lillard working off the ball. Batum can shoot, too. There's no real weakness in his game . . . He tore a thumb ligament during Summer League play, but THOMAS ROBINSON is already back on the court. He's a hustle guy off the bench, but has a limited offensive game and can't defend bigger 4's . . . DORELL WRIGHT will likely bounce in and out of the rotation again due to his streaky shooting . . . JOEL FREELAND's skill set is limited, but he can play the 4 and the 5 . . . VICTOR CLAVER will try to work his way back into the rotation as a defensive specialist. CENTERS: ROBIN LOPEZ proved a perfect complement to Aldridge, and should handle the bulk of the minutes at center again . . . CHRIS KAMAN gives Portland s a more offensive-minded option off the bench . . . It will be another developmental season for MEYERS LEONARD | | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: The Bucks hope to fill a gaping hole at point guard with a committee approach. BRANDON KNIGHT, an undersized, athletically-overmatched combo guard, will get first crack at the job . . . Ex-Laker KENDALL MARSHALL, a heady floor general who can't shoot or defend, is an option as well . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON, a spot-up shooter, has a good chance to retain his starting job . . . New head coach Jason Kidd will try to rebuild O.J. MAYO, who could emerge as a serviceable sixth man, but looked wholly disinterested last season . . . The arrival of Marshall likely pushes NATE WOLTERS out of the rotation. He could be ticketed for the D-League at some point this season. FORWARDS: JABARI PARKER becomes the new face of this franchise. He can score as well as facilitate the offense. The only real question is what kind of defensive effort he puts in . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO will be used at both forward spots and both guard spots as well. The Greek Freak is raw, but the Bucks will expand his role . . . After a season in Larry Drew's doghouse, the coaching change should bode well for ERSAN ILYASOVA. He's likely looking at a part-time role . . . JOHN HENSON will play some 4 and 5, though his lack of an offensive game limits his appeal . . . JOHNNY O'BRYANT III might push for a rotation spot once he returns from a knee injury in late November. He's one of the few big men on this team who can score around the basket . . . If DAMIEN INGLIS comes over, he's looking at a D-League stint. CENTERS: Kidd is a LARRY SANDERS believer, so after a season filled with injuries and knucklehead behavior, he'll have every chance to bounce back. When he's in the right place, he's an elite rim protector . . . Larry Drew favorite ZAZA PACHULIA is looking at a traditional back-up role now that Drew is gone. |

*Trail Blazers-Bucks Preview* =============================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Portland (32-14) at Milwaukee (24-22), 8:30 p.m. EDT
The Northwest Division-leading Portland Trail Blazers have cooled considerably, particularly on the road.
A Milwaukee Bucks team that is playing better looks to make matters worse for the visitors.
The Trail Blazers try to avoid a sixth straight road loss Saturday night against the Bucks, who are seeking a third consecutive victory.
Portland (32-15) holds a comfortable 8 1/2-game lead on second-place Oklahoma City in the division. The Trail Blazers, though, are stumbling, losing seven of nine after winning eight of their previous nine. Their recent struggles have been especially glaring as the visitor, losing five straight games while surrendering an average of 106.8 points - almost 10 higher than their season mark.
Portland hasn't endured a longer single-season road skid since dropping seven straight from Feb. 6-March 6, 2013.
The team got closer to matching that mark Friday, losing 105-99 at Atlanta after leading following each of the first three quarters.
"If I could explain it then it wouldn't happen," forward LaMarcus Aldridge said. "It's part of the season. We just have to stick with it."
Aldridge has certainly looked deserving of being named to next month's All-Star game in New York, averaging 33.7 points and 10.3 boards in three games after missing two with what was considered a serious thumb injury. He had 37 points and 11 rebounds Friday, but the Blazers totaled 17 turnovers and allowed the Hawks to shoot 71.4 percent in the fourth quarter.
Aldridge, a four-time All-Star, had 23 points and 15 rebounds in a 104-97 home win over Milwaukee on Dec. 17, as the Blazers won a third straight meeting.
Damian Lillard had 29 points and seven assists in that matchup, but enters this one after totaling 27 points while making 10 of 39 from the floor over the past two games - both losses. The guard, an All-Star snub, was hitting 44.0 percent from the field while averaging 28.4 points over the previous five road games.
An impressive offensive philosophy installed by coach Jason Kidd is a big reason the Bucks (24-22) continue to be one of the NBA's biggest surprises. They've won three of four games while averaging 29.0 assists - 5.3 higher than their season average.
"I think our players take pride in moving the ball, making the next pass," Kidd said. "I think they really enjoy playing with one another. That is why you see the ball move. They take pride in being part of the play."
Milwaukee collected 29 assists and seven players scored in double digits in Thursday's 115-100 win at Orlando. Jerryd Bayless led the way with 19 points, as the Bucks led by as much as 29 and never trailed.
"A lot of guys were putting the ball in the basket," said guard O.J. Mayo, who had 13 points, six rebounds and six assists. "We don't depend on one guy to come out and get us 20 points. And we've had injuries pretty much all year, so every guy usually plays whether it's a full roster or not. Everyone stays ready to step up."
John Henson is the latest to emerge. He had 12 points with 11 rebounds while starting at center in place of Zaza Pachulia, who could miss a week with a calf injury. Henson also had 12 points off the bench in Tuesday's 109-102 win at Miami.
The Bucks last won three straight games from Nov. 25-28.
