|
| |  | INDIANA: GUARDS: The Pacers went 7-2 during the regular season and won a playoff series with GEORGE HILL in the starting five. He averaged 13.9 PPG and 5.3 APG in those regular season starts . . . PAUL GEORGE is a defensive stopper who is making strides on the offensive end. If he can find the touches, his scoring average will rise . . . D.J. AUGUSTIN has a skill set similar to Hill's. Maybe he'll push him for minutes later in the year, but more likely he'll shoot corner threes off the bench . . . GERALD GREEN is another athlete for their second unit . . . LANCE STEPHENSON has a chance for a bigger role, but he's been atrocious to this point of his career. FORWARDS: DANNY GRANGER's touches dropped last season, but his shot selection improved as last year went on. He'll continue to be a borderline All-Star . . . DAVID WEST's knee should be fully recovered from his torn ACL in late 2010-11. He was their best player in the postseason and should be a star this season with his ability to knock down shots . . . TYLER HANSBROUGH looks like he's settling in as a career second unit player. His lack of athleticism really limits his upside . . . JEFF PENDERGRAPH may or may not hold on to a roster spot in a 12th-man role. CENTERS: They're paying ROY HIBBERT like a franchise player, and he has the ability to control both ends of the court. The question is whether they'll now play him 30-plus minutes, or continue to use him as more of a part-time player . . . IAN MAHINMI should step in as a decent backup center . . . Rookie MILES PLUMLEE was a part-time player at Duke and is highly unlikely to contribute in his first season. | | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: JRUE HOLIDAY is knocking on the door of All-Star status. He's excellent defensively, though his stats sometimes sag because of Philly's deliberate style . . . JASON RICHARDSON gives them some shooting on the wing, but may see his minutes fade if he can't play the kind of defense Collins demands . . . Swingman EVAN TURNER is an intriguing but flawed player. He doesn't quite have the offensive repertoire to be a primary scorer, and he'll continue to get inconsistent minutes as Collins plays to matchups on the wings . . . NICK YOUNG will have something of a lesser sixth-man role than Lou Williams used to have . . . As an offensively-limited but athletic, defensive-minded guard, ROYAL IVEY is the kind of bench player Collins looks for. FORWARDS: Even with Elton Brand gone, THADDEUS YOUNG will play more of a part-time role. Collins has never seemed satisfied with his talented young 'tweener, and Spencer Hawes is expected to slide to the four alongside Andrew Bynum . . . DORELL WRIGHT brings some much needed shooting on the wing. He plays the kind of defense Collins demands and, if his shot is on, he should be close to a 30-MPG player despite his struggles in Golden State last season . . . LAVOY ALLEN is a serviceable reserve big. He'll see few minutes off the bench unless Bynum gets hurt . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE fits the Sixers mold as an athlete. He could be a regular in the rotation by midseason. CENTERS: Maybe ANDREW BYNUM will be happier moving back to the east coast. As long as his knees hold up, he's an All-Star lock . . . SPENCER HAWES will actually play a lot of four this year. He's an offensively-capable 7-footer who's also become a much better rebounder over the past couple seasons . . . KWAME BROWN will be sparingly used as a big body who can move on the defensive end. |

*Pacers-76ers Preview* ======================
By MATT BEARDMORE STATS Writer
Indiana (30-19) at Philadelphia (21-26), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Indiana Pacers' lengthy home winning streak is still alive, but the Central Division leaders now have to figure out how to get a 'W' outside of Indianapolis.
Indiana will try to get that done Wednesday night when it concludes the NBA's only back-to-back-to-back set against a Philadelphia 76ers team that will be without Thaddeus Young for a while.
After defeating visiting Chicago 111-101 on Monday in a makeup game from a Dec. 26 blizzard that hit Indianapolis, the Pacers (30-19) won their 15th straight at home on Tuesday, 114-103 over Atlanta. It's the club's longest surge at home since the 1999-2000 season.
Indiana won't get much time to enjoy that victory with the 76ers (21-26) up next, followed by a return home against Toronto on Friday.
"You definitely feel it," Paul George said Tuesday after scoring a game-high 29 points. "I felt it tonight, really. But once the game starts going, everything goes out the window."
The Pacers have won four in a row overall to move a season-best 11 games above .500, but they've dropped three straight and seven of nine on the road.
Philadelphia, meanwhile, has won three in a row to improve to 4-1 on an eight-game homestand.
However, the Pacers may have caught a break in their first visit to Wells Fargo Center this season after the 76ers learned Tuesday that Young will be out for three weeks with a left hamstring strain. The injury occurred in Monday's 78-61 victory over Orlando.
Lavoy Allen and rookie Arnett Moultrie will likely get the bulk of Young's minutes alongside center Spencer Hawes and Evan Turner. Coach Doug Collins is going to need all of them to step up against Indiana's talented frontcourt of George, David West and Roy Hibbert, which combined for 61 points and helped the Pacers outrebound the 76ers 48-36 in a 95-85 home victory Dec. 14.
"I've always felt Thad was our most important player," said Collins, whose team hasn't won four straight since April. "He gives you speed out on the break. We're a team that struggles to score. When we take away some easy baskets from us, we're going to have to do a better job executing and we're going to have to shoot the ball better."
The 76ers are averaging 86.3 points on 44.8 percent shooting during their winning streak. Improving on the offensive end could be tough against a Pacers team holding opponents to an average of 90.4 points on 42.1 percent shooting - both Eastern Conference bests.
Indiana, though, has given up 100 or more points in five of the last seven games as it has leaned more on its offense. The Pacers are scoring 106.0 points per game - 13.2 more than their season average - during their last six.
West leads the club in that span with 21.5 points per game, followed by George (20.2) and George Hill (16.3 points, 5.8 assists).
Hill recorded his first triple-double on Dec. 14 with 15 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, but he didn't have to face Jrue Holiday, who was sidelined with a sprained foot. Holiday leads the 76ers with 19.3 points per game and 9.0 assists, both career highs.
Indiana won 102-97 in its last road game against the 76ers on April 17. These teams have alternated wins and losses in the last seven matchups in Philadelphia.
