|
| |  | MILWAUKEE: GUARDS: The Bucks hope to fill a gaping hole at point guard with a committee approach. BRANDON KNIGHT, an undersized, athletically-overmatched combo guard, will get first crack at the job . . . Ex-Laker KENDALL MARSHALL, a heady floor general who can't shoot or defend, is an option as well . . . KHRIS MIDDLETON, a spot-up shooter, has a good chance to retain his starting job . . . New head coach Jason Kidd will try to rebuild O.J. MAYO, who could emerge as a serviceable sixth man, but looked wholly disinterested last season . . . The arrival of Marshall likely pushes NATE WOLTERS out of the rotation. He could be ticketed for the D-League at some point this season. FORWARDS: JABARI PARKER becomes the new face of this franchise. He can score as well as facilitate the offense. The only real question is what kind of defensive effort he puts in . . . GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO will be used at both forward spots and both guard spots as well. The Greek Freak is raw, but the Bucks will expand his role . . . After a season in Larry Drew's doghouse, the coaching change should bode well for ERSAN ILYASOVA. He's likely looking at a part-time role . . . JOHN HENSON will play some 4 and 5, though his lack of an offensive game limits his appeal . . . JOHNNY O'BRYANT III might push for a rotation spot once he returns from a knee injury in late November. He's one of the few big men on this team who can score around the basket . . . If DAMIEN INGLIS comes over, he's looking at a D-League stint. CENTERS: Kidd is a LARRY SANDERS believer, so after a season filled with injuries and knucklehead behavior, he'll have every chance to bounce back. When he's in the right place, he's an elite rim protector . . . Larry Drew favorite ZAZA PACHULIA is looking at a traditional back-up role now that Drew is gone. | | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: With Isaiah Thomas out, DARREN COLLISON steps in at the point. He looked good backing up Chris Paul in L.A. and will benefit from a wide-open offense. But it's not clear if can he handle full-time minutes after flopping as a starter in Dallas . . . BEN McLEMORE has to get it going early if he's going to keep his starting job. There's raw talent, but McLemore has a reputation for fading into the background, and was wholly unimpressive last season . . . NIK STAUSKAS will push McLemore for minutes immediately. He'll be overmatched defensively at times, but he can shoot it and moves the ball well offensively . . . It seems like RAY McCALLUM will be a solid enough back-up point guard for the next few years . . . RAMON SESSIONS will push Collison for minutes and could eventually unseat him as the Kings' starter. FORWARDS: RUDY GAY is a low-efficiency player who needs the ball in his hands, but head coach Michael Malone seems willing to let him do his thing . . . Power forward is a black hole in Sacramento. JASON THOMPSON might open the season as the Kings' primary 4, though he struggled mightily in his first season under Malone . . . DERRICK WILLIAMS has never shed that 'tweener label. The team will try to milk some second unit productivity out of him . . . REGGIE EVANS will continue to turn flopping into an art form. An obnoxious art form . . . CARL LANDRY is a question mark as he works his way back from a torn meniscus . . . Tell the world OMRI CASSPI is coming home. CENTERS: He made some real strides under Malone last year, and DeMARCUS COUSINS' improved shot selection has finally made him one of the league's better big men. He spends much less time floating on the perimeter hoisting contested 18-footers. |

*Bucks-Kings Preview* =====================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Milwaukee (13-13) at Sacramento (11-14), 10:00 p.m. EDT
The Sacramento Kings are certainly familiar with how difficult it can be to deal with adversity, which is something the Milwaukee Bucks will now have to overcome without Jabari Parker.
As the visiting Bucks try to avoid falling to 0-2 since losing their star rookie, the reeling Kings seek their first win under interim coach Tyrone Corbin on Thursday night when DeMarcus Cousins is expected to return.
In its first game since finding out Parker would be out for the season, Milwaukee (13-13) had its two-game winning streak end in Wednesday's 104-97 loss to Portland in the second of a four-game western trip.
Parker tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the Bucks' 96-94 win in Phoenix on Monday. The second overall pick in this year's draft was second among rookies with 12.3 points per game and third with 5.5 rebounds.
"It's big," coach Jason Kidd said. "You talk about a guy who is a big part of our team. ... Great kid, on and off the court."
Jared Dudley filled in Wednesday with his first start since Nov. 16, but he finished with three points and four fouls.
The Bucks received another scare when starting forward Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a left ankle sprain in the first half. The 6-foot-11 Antetokounmpo, averaging 12.2 points and 5.9 rebounds heading into the contest, had his ankle taped during the break and wanted to go back in for the third quarter.
"It's always tough," Kidd said. "You never want to see anyone get hurt. It's part of the game, but back-to-back injuries to your two youngest players can make you a little nervous."
Milwaukee is hoping to avert a slide much like Sacramento has endured without its star big man. The Kings (11-14) opened with nine wins in their first 14 games, but they've dropped eight of 10 since Cousins has been sidelined with viral meningitis.
Cousins, however, practiced earlier this week and plans to  the Bucks. He's averaging career highs of 23.5 points and 12.6 rebounds in 15 games and has scored 25.7 on 68.9 percent shooting in his last three meetings with Milwaukee.
"Minutes will be (his biggest limitation)," Corbin told the team's official website. "With being out so long \2026 we might have to play him in short spurts there for a while until we see how he responds, but it will be a pleasure to get him back on the court."
Sacramento was limited to 38 second-half points and committed 19 turnovers overall Tuesday in a 104-92 home loss to Oklahoma City in its first game following the firing of coach Michael Malone.
Rudy Gay finished with 22 points, but fellow frontcourt starters Jason Thompson and Reggie Evans combined to score 10 on 5-of-14 shooting as the Kings dropped their fourth in a row.
The Kings should receive a boost at both ends of the floor if Cousins does return. They averaged 102.1 points while giving up 100.1 in first 15 games with him, but have scored 98.3 and allowed 103.4 in the 10 without him.
Milwaukee has scored 96.5 per game in its last two games after averaging 105.1 while reaching the century mark in nine consecutive contests. Brandon Knight has been a bright spot, averaging 22.0 points over his past three.
Cousins had 32 points and 12 rebounds and Gay scored 24 in Sacramento's 124-107 home win in the most recent meeting March 23. Gay totaled 46 points to help the Kings win both matchups last season by an average of 15.5 points.
