KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.
PHOENIX: GUARDS: With Steve Nash gone, GORAN DRAGIC takes over at the point. He was a monster as a starter in Houston late last year, and he's familiar with Phoenix's system from his time there as Nash's backup . . . SHANNON BROWN is one of the league's better sixth men and could end up seeing close to starter minutes this year. Once just a raw athlete, he's made major strides as a shooter and ball-handler . . . KENDALL MARSHALL was a bit of a product of an absurdly talented supporting cast in college at UNC. He's got work to do to become an NBA-caliber starter, but he'll be capable enough as a backup point guard as a rookie . . . SEBASTIAN TELFAIR still can't hit an open jump shot, but will factor into the backcourt rotation. FORWARDS: LUIS SCOLA steps in as the starting four. While he's in his 30's and an underwhelming athlete, he's crafty and relentless . . . JARED DUDLEY will continue to be their main catch-and-shoot threat on the wing. It might take a while to develop an on-court chemistry with Dragic . . . MICHAEL BEASLEY has a chance to grab a starting spot. He rarely has his head on straight, but he can score . . . CHANNING FRYE, the sharp-shooting 7-footer, will likely miss the 2012-13 season due to an enlarged heart, but this condition is expected to completely heal . . . WESLEY JOHNSON gets a fresh start. He needs to start knocking down shots to land a rotation spot . . . MARKIEFF MORRIS showed flashes as a rookie, but has to make better decisions on the offensive end. He'll be a key on the second unit . . . Well-traveled P.J. TUCKER earned himself a roster spot with an impressive Summer League. CENTERS: MARCIN GORTAT had a great year-and-a-half alongside Steve Nash, and he'll have to prove he can create in the low post a little more. But he's a skilled big man who should pair nicely with Luis Scola as a scorer and passer in the post . . . Injury-riddled JERMAINE O'NEAL is still a strong low-post defender and shot-blocker.

*Pacers-Suns Preview* =====================

By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer

Indiana (46-27) at Phoenix (23-50), 10:00 p.m. EDT

While the news of Danny Granger being lost for the season wasn't easy to swallow, the Indiana Pacers have proved they are pretty dangerous even without him.

Indiana seeks a fourth straight victory as its western road swing continues Saturday night against the woeful Phoenix Suns, who hope to avoid their worst home losing streak in nine years.

The Pacers found out prior to Thursday's 103-78 win over Dallas that Granger would need surgery on his sore left knee that has kept him out of all but five games this season.

Indiana (46-27), though, still leads Chicago by 5 1/2 games for the lead in the Central Division - which it hasn't won since 2003-04 - despite playing mostly without Granger. He was the team's top scorer last season at 18.7 points per game.

The Pacers also are in a tight battle with New York for the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed.

"We know we can win without Danny in the lineup," said Paul George, averaging a team-best 17.7 points during his breakout season. "As much as we do want Danny back, our mindset is still to prepare to win in the playoffs."

Shortly after making those comments, the All-Star forward hit 10 of 17 from the field and scored 24 points versus the Mavericks as the Pacers won for the sixth time in seven tries. They've won the first two of a four-game road trip that ends Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"Paul George played like an All-Star," coach Frank Vogel said.

Vogel, though, mainly praised his NBA-best defense, which is holding opponents to 89.5 points per game. Indiana also leads in field-goal percentage defense at 41.3 and has held five of its last seven opponents below 39.0 percent.

"Our defensive effort seemingly keeps getting better and better," Vogel said. "I'm very impressed with how dialed in our guys are, and how disciplined they're playing on the defensive end."

The Pacers also got a boost from the return of David West, who had seven points and seven rebounds in 28 minutes after missing the previous six games with a lower back strain.

West and George shot a combined 9 for 27 in the first meeting with Phoenix, but George Hill hit 9 for 13 and scored 22 points as the Pacers ended a four-game losing streak to the Suns with a 97-91 victory Dec. 28.

Phoenix played without Goran Dragic due to a hip bruise, and it's unclear if he'll be in the lineup Wednesday after sitting out the past two games to rest, according to the team. He's averaged 10.8 assists over his last five games and scored 31 in Sunday's 102-100 loss to Brooklyn.

The West-worst Suns (23-50) have since dropped two games this week by a combined 29 points, including a 117-103 home loss to Sacramento on Thursday. Luis Scola hit 10 of 13 from the field and scored 25 points, but Phoenix suffered its fifth straight loss - those opponents have shot a combined 50.6 percent.

The Suns, losers of 11 of 13 overall, are on the verge of dropping five straight at home for the first time since March 6-19, 2004.

"I don't think it's just one thing," Scola said. "We are making a lot of mistakes. It has been a rough year all along."

Rookie Kendall Marshall has gotten back-to-back starts with Dragic out, totaling 23 assists.

"Guys are making shots so that helps, but I'm more worried about the end result," Marshall said. "We're 0-2 with me starting so I don't see it as a success at all."
