|
| |  | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: Even after Paul Pierce came to Brooklyn, JOE JOHNSON remained the clear-cut No. 1 option in Brooklyn. Their offense figures to feature Johnson backing down defenders frequently again this year . . . DERON WILLIAMS seems to be deteriorating rapidly, struggling to stay healthy and losing confidence . . . JARRETT JACK figures to take Shaun Livingston's old role, playing alongside Williams often to take ball-handling duties off his plate . . . ALAN ANDERSON will see time at both wing spots as a defensive specialist who shoots some corner threes . . . SERGEY KARASEV has some long-term upside, but will do little this year . . . MARQUIS TEAGUE figures to have the edge on MARKEL BROWN for the No. 3 PG job. FORWARDS: With Paul Pierce gone, MIRZA TELETOVIC has a chance to take on a bigger role. He held his own defensively last year and provides another deep threat to space the floor . . . There's no telling what, if anything, they'll get out of ANDREI KIRILENKO this season. He seems to be at a point in his career when he's just not going to be able to stay healthy . . . BOJAN BOGDANOVIC should give Brooklyn some additional offensive firepower off the bench. He'll likely be a regular in the rotation by midseason . . . KEVIN GARNETT figures to play a bit more at the 4 alongside Brook Lopez, but there's pretty much no gas left in the tank for this 38-year-old player . . . Second-round pick CORY JEFFERSON is likely ticketed for the D-League. CENTERS: The Nets desperately need a healthy BROOK LOPEZ if they're going to win the Atlantic Division, but they'll have to monitor his minutes closely after another season lost to injury . . . With Lopez healthy, MASON PLUMLEE will resume his natural role as an energy guy off the bench. | | 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. |

*Nets-Knicks Preview* =====================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Brooklyn (32-40) at New York (14-60), 7:30 p.m. EDT
While the surging Brooklyn Nets are aiming for the playoffs on their side of the East River, the lowly New York Knicks are shooting for ping-pong balls over in Manhattan.
The Nets look to extend their season-best winning streak to five Wednesday night when they try to sweep the season series from the Knicks for the first time in eight years.
Brooklyn (33-40) is in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, leading Boston by one-half game, Indiana by 1 1/2 and Charlotte by two. The Nets are also within striking distance of seventh place, trailing Miami by just a half-game.
They've surged into the postseason picture with an 8-2 stretch after losing five in a row. Brooklyn won its fourth straight Tuesday with a key 111-106 victory over the Pacers, shooting 50.0 percent both overall and from 3-point range.
"It's just a mentality, I guess, sense of urgency. Realizing we have a chance to make these playoffs and we're just trying to make a push," guard Deron Williams said.
The Nets haven't won five straight games since Jan. 16-26, 2014, and last swept the season series with the Knicks in 2006-07.
Brook Lopez was the key in winning the first three meetings, averaging 21.7 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3.7 blocks. The center scored 22, pulled down nine boards and swatted six shots to lead Brooklyn to a 92-88 home win Feb. 6. He may be in line for another strong performance after averaging 28.1 points and 9.6 rebounds over the last seven games.
Joe Johnson's production has also been impressive with 19.7 points and 6.7 assists per game while shooting 48.8 percent - 9 of 21 from long range - over the last three. The forward had 22 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals in a 98-93 win over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 2.
While watching the Nets shoot for a third straight trip to the postseason, New York now has eight games left before ending the worst season in franchise history.
The Knicks (14-60) clinched that dubious mark Saturday, losing 111-80 to Chicago to extend its slide to seven games. The only bright spot is their two-game lead on Minnesota for the worst record in the NBA and the best chance at winning the draft lottery.
Langston Galloway, however, feels the team has other motivations, including the chance to play the role of spoiler against Brooklyn.
"There's always a motivation to go out there and win, and regardless of the opponent we want to go out there and win," the guard said. "I know they have a good shot to make the playoffs, but at the same time they're our crosstown rival, so we want to try to get a win."
The Knicks will likely need to show some life offensively. They're averaging 85.1 points and shooting 39.9 percent, including 29.2 from long range, during the skid.
Andrea Bargnani can't be blamed since he's gone 17 for 35 from the field while totaling 39 points and 14 rebounds over the last two games. Injuries have sidelined the center in each of the last five meetings with the Nets.
Ricky Ledo is slated to face Brooklyn for the first time after signing his second 10-day contract Sunday. The guard is averaging 7.2 points in 18.5 minutes per game in five games with the Knicks after scoring 11 on Saturday.
