|
| |  | OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: RUSSELL WESTBROOK can do whatever he wants inside the arc and will continue to be a shoot-first point guard . . . JAMES HARDEN will likely keep coming off the bench, but he'll also keep playing starter's minutes . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA is OKC's best perimeter defender. But his role won't become more prominent until the postseason . . . ERIC MAYNOR should be just about all the way back from his torn ACL. When healthy, he's one of the league's best backup point guards . . . DAEQUAN COOK will see limited minutes as a three-point specialist . . . REGGIE JACKSON's role will shrink to near nothing if Maynor is healthy. FORWARDS: KEVIN DURANT continues to do it all, and has done nothing but steadily improve each season . . . SERGE IBAKA is obviously an elite shot-blocker, but he continues to get lost in space. He's made some strides as a pick-and-roll defender, but that weakness is why he doesn't play 30 minutes per night . . . NICK COLLISON will continue to steal a lot of Ibaka's minutes because he defends the pick-and-roll better, and because he draws so many charges, he's almost as good in help situations . . . PERRY JONES III is an incredible athlete, but needs a year or two to learn the game . . . LAZAR HAYWARD is back as a 12th man. CENTERS: KENDRICK PERKINS will continue to start, but is a part-time player. The Thunder are often better with a small lineup. While Perkins is a bruiser he is too easy to exploit as a defender in space . . . COLE ALDRICH could be ready for a slightly bigger role off the bench . . . HASHEEM THABEET is a reclamation project. There's a sliver of long-term hope, but he won't help this year. | | 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. |

*Thunder-Magic Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Oklahoma City (50-19) at Orlando (18-51), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The last time the Oklahoma City Thunder lost consecutive games they responded with one of their best stretches of the season.
The Thunder appear poised to get another run started Friday night when they visit the Orlando Magic, who are mired in another lengthy losing streak.
Oklahoma City (50-19) is coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in a month following a 114-104 setback against Denver on Tuesday and a 90-89 overtime defeat at Memphis on Wednesday.
Russell Westbrook's layup gave the Thunder a late one-point lead before Memphis center Marc Gasol tipped in the go-ahead score with less than a second left in a showdown between Western Conference contenders.
Kevin Durant finished with a game-high 32 points and Westbrook scored 20, but the pair combined to shoot 18 for 53. Kevin Martin added 17, but no other Thunder player scored more than seven.
"It was just one of those games, probably 10 of them a year, where nobody deserves to lose the game, but we were on the bad side of that," coach Scott Brooks said.
Brooks' club hadn't dropped two straight since suffering its only three-game skid of the season Feb. 12-20. Following those defeats, Oklahoma City went on to win 11 of 13 by an average of 13.5 points.
Oklahoma City, which trails San Antonio by 2 1/2 games for the West's top seed, has an opportunity to begin another hot streak as it opens a stretch of four straight against losing teams.
The sinking Magic (18-51) have lost 38 of 44 and suffered their fifth straight defeat Wednesday night, 106-94 at New York.
Tobias Harris and reserve Andrew Nicholson finished with 14 points apiece and Kyle O'Quinn added 12 and 14 rebounds off the bench as Orlando played without center Nikola Vucevic because of an illness.
"Guys came in and tried to fill in their roles," coach Jacque Vaughn said. "Some good things came from that game."
While his status is uncertain for Friday, Vucevic - averaging 12.4 points and 11.5 rebounds - could be a big loss considering he scored 21 and had 14 boards in a 117-104 defeat at Oklahoma City last Friday.
The Magic put a scare into the Thunder, rallying from a 27-point first-half deficit to get within four midway through the fourth quarter.
Jameer Nelson had 26 points and shot 5 of 12 from 3-point range, while Arron Afflalo scored 20 for the Magic.
Nelson and Afflalo, however, will try to bounce back after shooting a combined 3 for 16 - 1 for 8 from beyond the arc - on Wednesday.
The Magic shot 7 for 27 from 3-point range and were outrebounded 52-33 in Oklahoma City. That could be an area of concern again, especially if Orlando has to play without its top rebounder in Vucevic.
Durant led Oklahoma City with 26 points in the first meeting and has averaged 30.6 on 54.3 percent shooting in his last five games against the Magic.
After scoring 83 in regulation and finishing with a season-low 35.7 field goal percentage in Memphis, the Thunder should be in line for a better performance Friday. They put up a season-high 73 points in the first half and shot 55.3 percent overall last week against the Magic.
The Thunder stopped a seven-game losing streak in Orlando with a 105-102 win last March as Durant had 38 points and Westbrook scored 29.
