|
| | | LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: CHRIS PAUL was every bit an MVP-caliber player in his first year in L.A. They should monitor his minutes late in the regular season to keep him fresh for the playoffs. . . His Achilles is on schedule to be healed by December, and CHAUNCEY BILLUPS will start once he's healthy. He's likely to lose athleticism, and his leash could be short if he shoots as poorly as he did last year . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD steps in to lead the second unit. We'll see how quickly his inefficient, shoot-first ways grow stale . . . ERIC BLEDSOE was a stud in the playoffs. He can't play extended minutes alongside Paul, but coach Vinny Del Negro knows he has to get Bledsoe on the floor . . . WILLIE GREEN provides capable depth, but he's on the outside looking in at the rotation. FORWARDS: BLAKE GRIFFIN's knee injury likely isn't serious enough to linger into the season. He's starting to develop some post moves to go along with his dunks . . . CARON BUTLER played hurt for most of last year, but still did enough to nail down a starting job for this season . . . LAMAR ODOM moped his way back to L.A. Don't be surprised if he has a strong bounce-back year, especially considering he'll be the Clippers' best defensive big . . . GRANT HILL could see some starts, but more likely the 40-year-old is pegged for limited minutes . . . MATT BARNES will replace Hill once he injures himself again . . . RONNY TURIAF will provide some of the toughness they lost when Reggie Evans left . . . TREY THOMPKINS will continue to languish on the bench, especially after sitting out the preseason with a knee injury. CENTERS: He can block shots and rebound, but at this point DeANDRE JORDAN is just too much of a defensive liability in space to play 30-plus minutes. That's why the Clippers will often pair Lamar Odom with Blake Griffin in the frontcourt . . . RYAN HOLLINS can also defend the basket and has six fouls to give. | | ORLANDO: GUARDS: With Dwight Howard gone, this becomes JAMEER NELSON's team on the offensive end. Injuries slowed him a year ago, but he still does a nice job creating his own scoring chances . . . ARRON AFFLALO will provide some much-needed defense on the perimeter, a huge team weakness that will be exploited in the post-Howard era. He'll be a No. 2 or 3 option on the offensive end as well . . . J.J. REDICK has a chance for a bigger role in what should be a transitional year in Orlando. He's no more of a defensive liability than Nelson . . . CHRISTIAN EYENGA was a throw-in during the Dwight Howard trade and defends well enough to earn a roster spot . . . ISHMAEL SMITH will back up Nelson once he returns from a shoulder injury . . . E'TWAUN MOORE has played well enough in the preseason to spell Nelson too. FORWARDS: HEDO TURKOGLU still has some value as a point forward, though his minutes could shrink as Orlando rebuilds . . . GLEN DAVIS shined in Howard's absence last year. He's inefficient, but aggressive and willing to throw his weight around . . . Keep an eye on ANDREW NICHOLSON; the rookie is a crafty scorer who can shoot away from the basket . . . QUENTIN RICHARDSON will chug along as an injury-prone, three-point specialist . . . AL HARRINGTON is coming off a couple knee surgeries and may not have much left in the tank . . . MOE HARKLESS is athletic, versatile, and could get a long look in the second half of the year . . . GUSTAVO AYON is a capable big body who can play some center . . . JUSTIN HARPER will be buried on the bench . . . JOSH McROBERTS is not good. CENTERS: Davis figures to see a lot of minutes at center, but NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a much better defensive option. He's limited offensively, but could start grabbing more minutes in the middle as the year goes on . . . KYLE O'QUINN is a big body who can score around the basket. He has a rough transition ahead of him as an average athlete from a small school. |

*Clippers-Magic Preview* ========================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Los Angeles (34-16) at Orlando (14-34), 7:00 p.m. EDT
Already without Chris Paul, the slumping Los Angeles Clippers could be in for an even rougher road ahead with Blake Griffin hurt, too.
They aren't likely to get much sympathy from the injury-plagued Orlando Magic.
With Griffin uncertain to be available for a second straight game, the visiting Clippers try to get back on track Wednesday night against a Magic team that's dropped 21 of 23.
One of the two wins, however, came at Los Angeles on Jan. 12. That 104-101 victory was the Magic's 10th in the last 11 matchups.
That defeat ultimately proved plenty costly for the Clippers (34-16), who lost Paul to a bruised right kneecap with 54 seconds remaining. While Paul returned following a three-game absence, he re-aggravated the injury in a 106-99 loss at Golden State on Jan. 21 and hasn't played since.
Los Angeles, which including that defeat has dropped seven of nine, suffered another big blow Monday when Griffin was a last-minute scratch due to a strained left hamstring. The three-time all-Star, averaging team highs of 18.5 points and 8.6 rebounds, had his streak of 197 consecutive games played end as the Clippers lost 98-90 at Washington.
"It's frustrating because we're giving back a lot of what we had built up earlier in the season," said coach Vinny Del Negro, whose team is halfway through a season-high eight-game road trip. "But you can't control the injuries, you can't control the schedule, you can't control so many guys being out."
Jamal Crawford scored 28 points off the bench Monday and DeAndre Jordan had a career-high 22 rebounds, but Los Angeles committed 20 turnovers to the Wizards' 13.
"When you're a championship-level team, you have high expectations," Crawford said. "And we do, no matter who's in and who's out. Obviously we're missing some of our better players, but no excuse."
Orlando (14-34) can surely relate to what Los Angeles is going through.
The Magic's top four scorers - Arron Afflalo (strained calf), J.J. Redick (sore shoulder), Glen Davis (broken foot) and Jameer Nelson (bruised forearm) - were all out Monday as the team's skid reached 10 with a 78-61 loss at Philadelphia.
E'Twaun Moore scored a season high-tying 18 points, but Orlando had its fewest points and lowest shooting percentage (33.8) of the season. Nikola Vucevic grabbed 14 rebounds - he's averaging a league-leading 13.3 since Dec. 14 - but had his streak of consecutive games scoring in double figures snapped at 17.
"It's just tough right now because our main scorers and our veteran guys are out right now," Vucevic told the team's official website. "But we're a tough group and we're going to play hard every night no matter what. We haven't been winning a lot of games, but we're playing hard and competing every night. We did that again (Monday) and hopefully we'll start getting some wins soon."
While Davis isn't expected back anytime soon, Afflalo, Nelson and Redick are all uncertain to be available Tuesday.
"The more (players) we can get back and the healthier that we can get, the better it obviously it is for us," coach Jacque Vaughn said. "We just have to be careful of putting too much pressure on guys coming back."
Afflalo posted a season best-tying 30 points and Redick added 21 off the bench against the Clippers last month. Griffin also scored 30 in that game.
The Magic, on their second 10-game losing streak of the season, haven't dropped 11 in a row since a 13-game skid March 13-April 10, 2004.
