|
| | | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: DERON WILLIAMS will surely take on more of a distributor role this year, but he's still this team's best option from three-point range, as well . . . JOE JOHNSON started to break down last season, so along with fewer shots (with the upgrade to the rest of the roster), he figures to play fewer regular-season minutes as well . . . JASON TERRY is clearly in the decline phase of his career, but is still the top scoring option among Brooklyn's second unit . . . ALAN ANDERSON gives them another shooter off the bench . . . SHAUN LIVINGSTON steps into the back-up point guard spot vacated by C.J. Watson. The injury-prone vet will be one of the more rarely used back-up PGs . . . TYSHAWN TAYLOR will be a non-factor. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE still has something left in the tank. While his athleticism is fading, he's still a cagey scorer who can also play some point forward to set up Williams . . . ANDREI KIRILENKO will be a Swiss army knife sixth man and should see plenty of starts as new head coach Jason Kidd rotates which veterans rest . . . REGGIE EVANS was retained for his rebounding ability and willingness to look ridiculous while flopping . . . ANDRAY BLATCHE will continue to settle in as a second-unit big. He's a name to remember for the future, as Kevin Garnett doesn't have much left in the tank . . . MIRZA TELETOVIC will be a seldom-used option as a stretch four . . . TORNIKE SHENGELIA is still years away from contributing, and the influx of veterans will further delay his development. CENTERS: Last year did a lot to assuage durability concerns for BROOK LOPEZ. He's highly skilled, and he may be forced to grab more rebounds now that Reggie Evans is on the second unit . . . KEVIN GARNETT will start at power forward. He's still an effective pick-and-pop shooter and pick-and-roll defender, but he'll have to rest often during the regular season . . . MASON PLUMLEE is in no position to help this season. | | NEW YORK: GUARDS: RAYMOND FELTON is still the best the Knicks can do at point guard. With his shortcomings in the half court, head coach Mike Woodson's desire to go up-tempo should play to Felton's skill set a little bit better . . . IMAN SHUMPERT should be ready for a slightly bigger role. He's their best perimeter defender and a good enough spot-up shooter to play off Carmelo Anthony . . . J.R. SMITH's offseason knee surgery is a bit of a concern, as is the fact that he's no longer in a contract year. Still, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year should light it up on many nights . . . PABLO PRIGIONI will be Felton's primary back-up. He disappears at times, but can at least knock down threes . . . BENO UDRIH will provide quality backup minutes after another solid year seeing big minutes in Orlando'TIM HARDAWAY JR. is likely looking at a redshirt year in 2013-14. FORWARDS: Last year was CARMELO ANTHONY's dream offense, with lots of isolation plays. With his improved three-point shot, Melo should make a run at a second-straight scoring title . . . ANDREA BARGNANI might start by default, but he's more suited to a part-time role as a one-dimensional floor spacer . . . Expect to see a lot of lineups with either Anthony or METTA WORLD PEACE at the four. MWP is still good enough defensively to justify his erratic shot selection . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE will likely be limited to a part-time role due to injuries. He'll try to re-invent himself as a second-unit scorer . . . KENYON MARTIN will be counted on to play some four and five off the bench . . . Athletic rookie C.J. LESLIE is ticketed for the D-League. CENTERS: TYSON CHANDLER will be relied on heavily on the glass for what could be the weakest rebounding team in the NBA. The Knicks would like to keep his regular-season minutes down, but they may be forced to play him a lot if they're going to get home court in a first-round playoff series . . . The Knicks will try to develop JEREMY TYLER into a useful No. 2 center. |

*Nets-Knicks Preview* =====================
By JOHN KOSIK STATS Editor
Brooklyn (16-22) at New York (15-25), 2:30 p.m. EDT
Fresh off a triumphant trip overseas, the Brooklyn Nets resemble a far better team than the one that was blown out by the New York Knicks in early December.
The Nets and Knicks continue their city rivalry when the teams meet at Madison Square Garden in a Monday matinee.
Brooklyn (16-22) enters this contest on the heels of a 127-110 win over Atlanta on Thursday at the O2 Arena in London, the team's sixth victory in its last seven games. The Knicks, meanwhile, are riding another skid into a matchup with the Nets. New York dropped nine straight - its longest slide since 2006 - before a 113-83 rout in Brooklyn on Dec. 5.
The Knicks (15-25) won five straight from Jan. 5-13, including victories over Oklahoma City, Golden State and Miami, before dropping their next three. They've managed to end all three of their losing streaks of three or more games this season with road victories.
Now they need to end one at MSG, where the Nets split two games last season after moving from New Jersey.
Joe Johnson scored 26 of his game-high 29 points in the first half Thursday and nailed two buzzer-beating 3-pointers to help the Nets improve to 3-0 in the British capital.
Andray Blatche added 20 points and 14 rebounds, while Paul Pierce contributed 18 points, Alan Anderson 15 and Kevin Garnett 12.
"The ball was moving, guys were looking for each other and finding each other," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "Joe has been off the charts. Not just the last few games but the whole season."
Johnson, who is averaging 16.3 points, has heated up of late, scoring at least 23 in four of his last five games. The veteran guard had a quiet game against the Knicks last month, shooting 4 for 15 with 13 points.
Most of his teammates also struggled in that contest except for Brook Lopez, who had 24 points and nine rebounds but has since been lost for the season to a broken foot.
Deron Williams and Pierce did not play in that game because of injuries, but both will be in uniform for this one. Williams has missed the last five games after receiving cortisone shots in both his ankles, but said he plans to play. The team has been thin at the point in his absence and on Saturday acquired Marquis Teague in a trade with Chicago.
The Knicks had arguably their best overall game this season in the first meeting, with six players scoring in double figures and the team putting up season bests in field goal (57.1) and 3-point (59.3) percentage.
New York has done quite the opposite during its current skid, shooting 28.8 percent (17 for 59) from long range. The Knicks are coming off a 109-95 home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday in which they shot 34.9 percent overall.
Carmelo Anthony had 26 points and 20 rebounds as New York opened an eight-game homestand that matches the longest in franchise history. The favorable stretch guarantees nothing for the Knicks, who fell to 7-13 at the Garden.
"It seems that we can't figure it out here on our home court," Anthony said. "But despite these last couple of games, I think we've got a great stretch that can work in our favor if we get some things right, adjust some things and figure it out quickly."
Anthony shot only 4 of 23 from the field, but made all 16 free throws in the first 20-20 game by a Knicks player since David Lee on April 2, 2010.
