|
| |  | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: BRANDON KNIGHT slides into Brandon Jennings' point guard slot, but he's a much different player. Knight hasn't proven capable of running the point, and may eventually settle in as an undersized shooter . . . O.J. MAYO will be the focal point of this offense. He should build on his career-best year in Dallas . . . GARY NEAL will give them some instant offense as a sixth man . . . LUKE RIDNOUR provides Knight insurance, and the ability to play either guard spot. He should fit nicely alongside Mayo for stretches . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON could crack the rotation as a capable defender with upside as a shooter . . . Second-rounder NATE WOLTERS must knock down jumpers if he's going to get off the bench. FORWARDS: ERSAN ILYASOVA will once again have to earn his starter's minutes, as the Bucks have loaded up on quality frontcourt depth. He provides more offense than anyone else on the front line . . . CARON BUTLER should start at small forward for this team after freeing himself before ever having to play in Phoenix . . . CARLOS DELFINO will play a key role scoring off the bench. He's a streaky long-range gunner, but defends well enough to stay on the court . . . JOHN HENSON is on the verge of a breakout as an elite rebounder and shot-blocker. He's still a bit behind offensively, which could hold him back in a crowded post rotation . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO was the most intriguing project in a weak draft, but the teenager is nowhere near ready for NBA action. He'll likely see time in the D-League until the second half of the season. CENTERS: We've loved LARRY SANDERS for years, and last year showed why. He's a Defensive POY candidate with a budding offensive game . . . ZAZA PACHULIA reunites with head coach Larry Drew as muscle off the bench . . . EKPE UDOH is likely on the outside looking in for this rotation. | | PHILADELPHIA: GUARDS: Welcome to Tankadelphia. MICHAEL CARTER-WILLIAMS will be handed the reigns at the point, and has the size and savvy to create some offense. But a work-in-progress jumper and too many risky passes will lead to plenty of lost possessions . . . The Sixers would love to unload perennially disappointing ex-No. 2 pick EVAN TURNER. He's yet to develop a jump shot, and while he'll start for a laughably thin Philly team, he looks more and more like a second-unit player . . . JAMES ANDERSON could end up playing a lot of minutes off the bench, simply because the Sixers don't have enough NBA-caliber players . . . JASON RICHARDSON will miss at least half the season after major knee surgery. He may never contribute in the NBA again'TONY WROTEN could see the floor plenty as a high-upside player who must cut down on his turnovers and improve his jump shot. FORWARDS: THADDEUS YOUNG will likely step up as the No. 1 option, and he very well may be the only player on this team that would make a rotation of a playoff contender. We'll see what he can do with defenses focused on stopping him . . . LAVOY ALLEN will be leaned on for heavy minutes as one of their few proven players . . . ARNETT MOULTRIE might end up with a very big role this year, as the Sixers are especially lacking post players. He at least rebounds and gets in people's way defensively . . . Philly will try its hand with ROYCE WHITE, who has plenty of talent but just as much baggage. He and the Rockets couldn't see eye-to-eye with how to manage his anxiety issues . . . TIM OHLBRECHT might actually see the court on this team. CENTERS: SPENCER HAWES should start at center, especially early. His mid-range shooting makes him one of the few offensive options on this team . . . Coming off a torn ACL, NERLENS NOEL probably won't be ready until December. He should contribute as a rim protector and rebounder, but will be pushed around and doesn't have much on offense . . . KWAME BROWN is waiting for his contract to be bought out. |

*Bucks-76ers Preview* =====================
Milwaukee (2-8) at Philadelphia (5-8), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Philadelphia 76ers are enduring a season-worst four-game losing streak and are unsure of the status of one of their starters.
The Milwaukee Bucks believe they are getting healthier as they try to improve their problems scoring and rebounding.
One of these teams will end its slide Friday night when the 76ers host a Bucks team that has dropped six straight.
Philadelphia (5-8) fell 108-98 at home to Toronto on Wednesday as it played without Thaddeus Young, out for personal reasons. There is no word on a possible return for Young, fourth on the team in scoring at 14.3 points per game and third in rebounding at 6.5 per contest.
"When you don't have Thaddeus, do you go big ball, do you go small ball?" coach Brett Brown said. "When you play that type of judgment game, it gets harder to manage those periods."
Milwaukee (2-8) is on its longest skid since dropping its final eight games in 2007-08.
There is room for optimism since some key players are back for the Bucks. Ersan Ilyasova missed six games due to an ankle injury and Caron Butler sat out two with a shoulder problem, but both returned in Wednesday's 91-82 home defeat to Portland.
"As we get guys back, we're just going to have to incorporate them and get them used to playing particularly down the stretch, particularly Ersan - a guy that can stretch out to 3 and a guy that can make shots," coach Larry Drew said.
Drew also gave point guard Luke Ridnour his first start in his third game after missing the first seven with back problems. The Bucks are short-handed at that position with Brandon Knight out with a hamstring injury.
"Our margin of error is very small," Drew said. "We're trying to dig ourselves out of a hole and the only way to do that is to play every possession like it's going to be the last possession."
Milwaukee is last in the league in rebound margin at minus-5.7 and is averaging 89.4 points for the NBA's third-worst mark, including 79.3 over the past three games. The Bucks will look to get untracked offensively against a Philadelphia club allowing a league-high 109.8 points per game.
Both teams have concerns about their top scorers.
Milwaukee's O.J. Mayo left Wednesday with a sprained left ankle, although he said he is OK. Philadelphia's Evan Turner has been held below 14 points in two of his past three games after averaging 23.4 through the first 10.
The Sixers welcomed Wednesday's return of Michael Carter-Williams, who missed four games with a bruised foot. The rookie scored 10 points on 2-of-10 shooting after averaging 17.4 in his first eight.
"I thought Michael struggled tonight as we guessed he may," Brown said. "I think his rhythm was a little off, I think his fitness was evident where he hadn't played basketball at that level for a while."
The Bucks took three of four meetings from the Sixers last season, but their two top scorers in that series - Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings - are no longer with the club. The same is true for Philadelphia's top scorer, Jrue Holiday.
