|
| |  | TORONTO: GUARDS: KYLE LOWRY is healthy again and will be handed the reigns. He could be the Raptors best player on both ends of the floor . . . As of now, JOSE CALDERON is still on the roster, but he's not long for Toronto with Lowry's arrival. He won't start over Lowry, but he could see decent minutes as the Raptors attempt to showcase him . . . With Toronto's influx of new talent, DeMAR DeROZAN could be marginalized on the offensive end. He hasn't really progressed past the dunker/raw athlete stage of his career . . . Rookie TERRENCE ROSS can just about match DeRozan's athleticism, and while he has no handle, he's a potentially deadly three-point threat . . . JOHN LUCAS III will back up both guard spots . . . ALAN ANDERSON returns as a defensive stopper in the second unit. FORWARDS: ANDREA BARGNANI makes his triumphant return and will likely go back to the perimeter. The Raptors have beefed up in the middle so Bargnani can play outside more . . . LANDRY FIELDS plays enough defense to earn minutes, but it seems like his signing was more a result of Toronto playing cap games to try to land Steve Nash. He'll likely platoon with Terrence Ross . . . ED DAVIS made some strides this offseason, but he's still not where the Raptors want him to be on the offensive end . . . LINAS KLEIZA's knee should be in better shape this season. The Raptors want more shooting, and he has a chance to grab a bigger role . . . Toronto will do everything it can to get out from under AMIR JOHNSON's contract . . . DOMINIC McGUIRE figures to occupy the final seat on the Raptors bench. CENTERS: JONAS VALANCIUNAS would have been the No. 2 pick of the draft had he come out a year later. He's a wiry, strong athlete who's physical down low with soft touch out to 10 feet. Toronto sees him as a franchise cornerstone who meshes nicely with Bargnani . . . AARON GRAY should provide ample competition for the starting center job. | | NEW YORK: GUARDS: RAYMOND FELTON will start at the point, which seems like a colossal mistake. He had his career year in New York under Mike D'Antoni, but the Knicks have gone away from the pick-and-roll system he thrived in . . . Don't be surprised if JASON KIDD is overtaking Felton in minutes played by midseason. He's limited athletically but still a heady passer . . . Resident chucker J.R. SMITH should see big minutes early before IMAN SHUMPERT steps in as the defense half of their shooting guard platoon as soon as his knee is recovered mid-season . . . RONNIE BREWER will be Smith's defensive complement while Shumpert is out . . . PABLO PRIGIONI is a game manager who provides insurance at the point. FORWARDS: This is once again CARMELO ANTHONY's team, as the Knicks will run their offense through him. It's going to be a lot of iso, and a lot of scoring opportunities for Melo . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE doesn't fit nearly as well in this system as he did in former coach Mike D'Antoni's. He ended up forcing a lot of shots a year ago, and his durability is a major question mark . . . STEVE NOVAK will continue to come off the bench strictly as a three-point shooter. He's one of the best long-range bombers in the NBA, but he's too much of a defensive liability to play more than 20 minutes per night . . . Swingman JAMES WHITE will also get some minutes at the two or three spots with his 6-foot-7 frame. . . CHRIS COPELAND had some solid years overseas, but will be lucky to break into this rotation . . . KURT THOMAS is in player/coach mode. CENTERS: TYSON CHANDLER is indispensible on the defensive end as long as sieves Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire are also in the frontcourt . . . MARCUS CAMBY can't defendin space like Chandler can, but his ability to rebound and protect the rim will come in handy as the second unit is no better defensively than the starters . . . RASHEED WALLACE came out of retirement, but has a long way to go, especially with his lack of conditioning, before he contributes much at age 38. |

*Raptors-Knicks Preview* ========================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Toronto (19-32) at New York (32-17), 7:30 p.m. EDT
Carmelo Anthony is red hot, but his recent efforts haven't always translated into wins for the New York Knicks.
Anthony will try to continue doing his part as the Atlantic Division-leading Knicks attempt to head into the All-Star break on a positive note Wednesday night when they host the improving Toronto Raptors.
Anthony is tied with Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant for the NBA scoring lead at 29.0 points per game, and he'll join Tyson Chandler in representing the Knicks (32-17) at Sunday's All-Star game in Houston.
He's been even better over the last three games, averaging 36.3 points on 49.3 percent shooting. However, New York has lost two of those games following a five-game winning streak.
The Knicks failed to capitalize on another big effort from Anthony on Sunday, when he had 42 points while only one other member of the team reached double figures in a 102-88 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Anthony, though, only managed one basket in the fourth quarter as New York was outscored 31-18.
"There's four other guys on the basketball court, we've just got to make plays and we've been doing that all season long," Anthony said. "(Sunday), we didn't make plays in the fourth quarter and we didn't win the game."
One of Anthony's teammates looking for improvement is J.R. Smith, who is second on the team with 16.0 points per game but finished with six Sunday while missing eight of nine field-goal attempts.
After not facing the Raptors (20-32) yet this season, New York will see them four times in their next 19 games. Seemingly every Knick struggled in the most recent meeting on March 23, when Anthony had 17 points while Smith managed seven and Chandler two in a 96-79 road loss.
Offense hasn't been a problem when hosting the Raptors, as the Knicks have won three of four while averaging 116.7 points on 51.2 percent shooting - 43.8 from beyond the arc - in the victories.
Toronto is at the bottom of the Atlantic, but the club is on a three-game winning streak, matching its total from the previous 13 contests.
The biggest change has been the addition of Rudy Gay, who is averaging 22.3 points in six games since being acquired from Memphis in a three-team deal on Jan. 30.
"He's a big time player," coach Dwane Casey said. "He's a closer."
The forward has proved that by sinking the winning shot in two of the last three games, including the go-ahead pull-up jumper with five seconds left in Tuesday's 109-108 victory over Denver. However, only four of Gay's 17 points came after the first quarter, and he spent long stretches of the second half stuck on the bench with foul trouble.
"It just feels good to get a win," Gay said. "Obviously it's a not a game I'm proud of, but I'm proud to get this win."
He's averaging 23.7 points over his last three visits to Madison Square Garden.
This trip will be Landry Fields' first since spending his first two seasons with the Knicks. The reserve swingman is averaging 5.0 points and 4.8 rebounds with the Raptors, who signed him to a three-year, $20 million offer sheet that New York didn't match.
