|
| |  | NEW YORK: GUARDS: A huge upgrade over Raymond Felton, JOSE CALDERON's shooting and low turnover rate make him a good fit in the triangle offense. Defense will be an issue . . . His shot selection will always be laughable, but J.R. SMITH will still have the occasional blow-up game . . . IMAN SHUMPERT never looked right last season. He won't get bumped from the rotation, but he's in danger of getting just part-time minutes . . . He'll defend, and if his strong shooting as a rookie wasn't a fluke, TIM HARDAWAY JR. will push his way into the starting five . . . PABLO PRIGIONI is a poor man's Calderon . . . SHANE LARKIN has some long-term upside, but is unlikely to contribute this season. FORWARDS: The triangle offense should play to CARMELO ANTHONY's strengths and open things up a bit more than the iso-heavy system they ran under Mike Woodson. He'll be in the running for another scoring title . . . It's another year of ANDREA BARGNANI. The Knicks are too thin to not play him, but his defense is atrocious and he hasn't shot it well in years . . . AMAR'E STOUDEMIRE's monster deal expires after this season, and a trade is a possibility. In a best-case scenario, he can be effective for 20 minutes or so per night . . . Second-rounder CLEANTHONY EARLY has a chance to break into this rotation. He'll defend and pick up some hustle points . . . QUINCY ACY and TRAVIS OUTLAW will provide some much needed depth and energy for a team that can sometimes be lackadaisical on the court. CENTERS: With Tyson Chandler gone, it will be up to SAMUEL DALEMBERT to pick up the defensive slack. He's a capable rim protector and could be in for as much playing time as he's gotten in years . . . JASON SMITH is another defensive-minded big man. He's good in space but is not a polished shot blocker . . . COLE ALDRICH was good enough late last season to earn a bench spot in the 2014-15 campaign. | | PORTLAND: GUARDS: DAMIAN LILLARD might be the most complete offensive point guard in the NBA. He's a legitimately great shooter, and quick enough off the dribble to get wherever he wants inside the paint . . . WESLEY MATTHEWS runs, runs and runs off the ball as a spot-up shooter . . . STEVE BLAKE is most likely to absorb Mo Williams' old sixth-man role. He can take some ball-handling duties, but at this point his value is as a spot-up shooter . . . He had his rookie season erased by injuries, and it's a crowded rotation, but C.J. McCOLLUM might be able to shoot his way into significant minutes . . . WILL BARTON is a practice player unless he develops a three-point shot . . . ALLEN CRABBE will likely bounce between Portland and the D-League again. FORWARDS: LaMARCUS ALDRIDGE's combination of length and mid-range shooting makes him virtually unguardable when he's on . . . NICOLAS BATUM often runs the offense with Lillard working off the ball. Batum can shoot, too. There's no real weakness in his game . . . He tore a thumb ligament during Summer League play, but THOMAS ROBINSON is already back on the court. He's a hustle guy off the bench, but has a limited offensive game and can't defend bigger 4's . . . DORELL WRIGHT will likely bounce in and out of the rotation again due to his streaky shooting . . . JOEL FREELAND's skill set is limited, but he can play the 4 and the 5 . . . VICTOR CLAVER will try to work his way back into the rotation as a defensive specialist. CENTERS: ROBIN LOPEZ proved a perfect complement to Aldridge, and should handle the bulk of the minutes at center again . . . CHRIS KAMAN gives Portland s a more offensive-minded option off the bench . . . It will be another developmental season for MEYERS LEONARD |

*Knicks-Trail Blazers Preview* ==============================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
New York (5-27) at Portland (24-7), 9:00 p.m. EDT
LaMarcus Aldridge's absence naturally provides more touches for the Portland Trail Blazers' perimeter players, who rarely are shy about hoisting a long-range jumper.
Now they'll get to test their outside game against a New York Knicks team that is the NBA's worst at defending it.
Aldridge is doubtful for Sunday night's matchup as surging Portland looks to deal the visiting Knicks an eighth consecutive defeat.
The Blazers (24-7) rank in the top five in 3-pointers made and attempted while shooting 37.5 percent from behind the arc, numbers that Aldridge has contributed to while hitting 15 of 32 from distance.
But with Aldridge sitting out for the second time in three games Friday due to an upper respiratory illness, and fellow big men Robin Lopez (fractured right hand) and Chris Kaman (birth of his child) also out, Portland relied even more heavily on the perimeter game.
Damian Lillard scored 28 points and Wesley Matthews added 25 as the Blazers hit a season-high 18 3s on a franchise-record 43 attempts in a 114-93 win over Philadelphia.
Portland has won seven of eight overall and five straight at home. It's 13-2 home start is its best since winning 14 of 15 to begin the 1998-99 season.
"We knew we were short-handed, obviously without LA and (Lopez), so we knew it was going to be a different type of game," Lillard said. "I thought we went out there and did what we needed to do."
Matthews made 7 of 14 and Lillard hit 3 of 8 from long range.
"They were mostly good 3s," coach Terry Stotts said. "I want us to take 3. I don't care how many 3s we take, as long as they're in rhythm, preferable off the pass rather than off the dribble and they're in the flow of the game."
Center Joel Freeland filled in down low and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds in his fifth straight start. Kaman is expected to be back for this contest, but Aldridge did not practice Saturday and likely won't play.
The Blazers' game plan again could center around the outside game, especially considering the opponent.
New York (5-27) ranks last in the NBA in defending the 3, allowing opponents to shoot 39.3 percent from behind the arc. The Knicks began a three-game West Coast swing Friday by permitting Sacramento to shoot 8 of 16 from 3-point range in a 135-129 overtime loss.
Carmelo Anthony is averaging 30.8 points over his last four after netting 36 for the Knicks, who have lost 17 of 18.
Tim Hardaway Jr. hit a layup with 20 seconds remaining in regulation to send it to overtime and finished with 19 points. Quincy Acy served a one-game suspension for his flagrant foul in Thursday's loss to Washington.
Amar'e Stoudemire (right knee soreness) and J.R. Smith (partially torn left plantar fascia) also sat out.
"We stayed committed to each other as teammates no matter what the circumstances were," coach Derek Fisher said. "They kept fighting out there. You have to have that in order to give yourself a chance to win."
The Blazers have won five straight meetings with Knicks, including when they hit 10 of 28 from 3-point range in a 103-99 win Dec. 7 at Madison Square Garden. Aldridge had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Lillard scored 20 to help overcome 23 and 10 rebounds from Anthony.
