|
| |  | OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: Everything should be a full go with RUSSELL WESTBROOK. His attacking style of play will always carry some injury risk, but he hasn't lost any explosiveness to this point . . . REGGIE JACKSON wants to start, but it's a question of whether the Thunder can survive defensively with him and Westbrook in a small backcourt. Jackson is certainly their second-best offensive guard . . . ANTHONY MORROW can flat-out shoot. He can't do anything else, but that floor spacing might be enough to get him 20 minutes per night . . . If the light doesn't turn on, JEREMY LAMB will be on the outside of this rotation. FORWARDS: Once he returns from his foot injury in late November, it should be the same old story for KEVIN DURANT, the reigning NBA MVP . . . He still struggles defensively in space, but SERGE IBAKA will be right there among the league leaders in blocks again. Throw in a reliable mid-range game, and more offensive responsibility with Durant out, and he's a fringe All-Star . . . NICK COLLISON takes charges, but doesn't do much else . . . Rookie MITCH McGARY could be pushing Collison for minutes by midseason . . . ANDRE ROBERSON could get another handful of starts as a defensive presence on the wing, but he rarely plays 20-plus minutes . . . PERRY JONES is on the fringe of this roster. CENTERS: Is this it? Could this be the season that the Thunder finally stop playing KENDRICK PERKINS? . . . STEVEN ADAMS came on strong late last season and is probably already better than Perk. He can defend and moves the ball offensively. | | NEW YORK: GUARDS: A huge upgrade over Raymond Felton, JOSE CALDERON's shooting and low turnover rate make him a good fit in the triangle offense. Defense will be an issue . . . His shot selection will always be laughable, but J.R. SMITH will still have the occasional blow-up game . . . IMAN SHUMPERT never looked right last season. He won't get bumped from the rotation, but he's in danger of getting just part-time minutes . . . He'll defend, and if his strong shooting as a rookie wasn't a fluke, TIM HARDAWAY JR. will push his way into the starting five . . . PABLO PRIGIONI is a poor man's Calderon . . . SHANE LARKIN has some long-term upside, but is unlikely to contribute this season. FORWARDS: The triangle offense should play to CARMELO ANTHONY's strengths and open things up a bit more than the iso-heavy system they ran under Mike Woodson. He'll be in the running for another scoring title . . . It's another year of ANDREA BARGNANI. The Knicks are too thin to not play him, but his defense is atrocious and he hasn't shot it well in years . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE's monster deal expires after this season, and a trade is a possibility. In a best-case scenario, he can be effective for 20 minutes or so per night . . . Second-rounder CLEANTHONY EARLY has a chance to break into this rotation. He'll defend and pick up some hustle points . . . QUINCY ACY and TRAVIS OUTLAW will provide some much needed depth and energy for a team that can sometimes be lackadaisical on the court. CENTERS: With Tyson Chandler gone, it will be up to SAMUEL DALEMBERT to pick up the defensive slack. He's a capable rim protector and could be in for as much playing time as he's gotten in years . . . JASON SMITH is another defensive-minded big man. He's good in space but is not a polished shot blocker . . . COLE ALDRICH was good enough late last season to earn a bench spot in the 2014-15 campaign. |

*Thunder-Knicks Preview* ========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Oklahoma City (23-22) at New York (8-37), 8:00 p.m. EDT
The Oklahoma City Thunder easily got by the New York Knicks in late November in their final game before Kevin Durant made his season debut.
Durant could also be held out of Wednesday night's road matchup against the Knicks, who are returning to the court after their last game was postponed due to snow.
Durant returned from a broken foot Dec. 2, four days after Oklahoma City cruised to a 105-78 win over New York. This time he's dealing with a sprained big toe that kept him out of Monday's 92-84 victory over Minnesota.
Oklahoma City (23-22) shot 41.9 percent but limited the Timberwolves to 34.1, including 2 of 13 from 3-point range. Serge Ibaka pulled down a season-high 19 rebounds as the Thunder held a 32-14 edge in fast break points.
Oklahoma City has won six of its last nine when Durant doesn't play after going 3-12 in its first 15 without him. He's averaging 25.6 points, just ahead of Russell Westbrook's 24.7 per game.
"I think what is the case now is we don't have that shock factor," forward Nick Collison said. "We understand that we're capable of playing and we're fine."
The Thunder didn't miss Durant on Nov. 28 as Westbrook led the way with 32 points against a Knicks team that was missing Carmelo Anthony.
New York has dropped 12 of 15 in the series, including three straight by an average of 22.6 points. Anthony has only appeared in one of the last three meetings, but he could be available after getting some additional time to rest.
The Knicks (8-37) have been off for three days after Monday's postponed home game against Sacramento was rescheduled for March 3.
New York put together its first three-game winning streak before falling 76-71 at Charlotte on Saturday. Tim Hardaway Jr. finished with a season-high 25 points as the Knicks posted their lowest scoring total since a 92-63 loss at Golden State on March 11, 2013.
New York managed 17 points in each of the last two quarters while shooting a combined 12 of 38.
"We put the guys out there that have never been in that situation, together at least," coach Derek Fisher said. "So it impacts the way you finish games."
Anthony sat out to rest his nagging knee after playing 42 minutes the night before. The All-Star forward had played in four consecutive games after missing the previous six.
Lance Thomas has provided a boost with 16 points in each of the last two games. Thomas, signed to a second 10-day contract last Wednesday, was acquired from the Thunder in the three-team trade that sent J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert to Cleveland and Dion Waiters to Oklahoma City earlier this month.
Fellow newcomer Langston Galloway was signed for the remainder of the season Tuesday after playing on two 10-day contracts. The undrafted rookie has averaged 14.5 points and 6.3 rebounds while starting the last four games.
"This has definitely been a long journey and I'm glad to be here," he told the team's official website.
Anthony is averaging 29.5 points against the Thunder since 2005-06, his highest mark against any opponent during that span.
Westbrook is averaging 27.7 points on 54.2 percent shooting to go with 10.3 boards and 8.7 assists during his last three games against New York. He finished with 14, 13 and 10 while Durant scored 29 during Oklahoma City's last visit to Madison Square Garden, a 123-94 victory Dec. 25, 2013.
The Knicks are averaging an NBA-worst 91.3 points at home, the league's lowest mark since 2011-12.
