|
| |  | ORLANDO: GUARDS: With Dwight Howard gone, this becomes JAMEER NELSON's team on the offensive end. Injuries slowed him a year ago, but he still does a nice job creating his own scoring chances . . . ARRON AFFLALO will provide some much-needed defense on the perimeter, a huge team weakness that will be exploited in the post-Howard era. He'll be a No. 2 or 3 option on the offensive end as well . . . J.J. REDICK has a chance for a bigger role in what should be a transitional year in Orlando. He's no more of a defensive liability than Nelson . . . CHRISTIAN EYENGA was a throw-in during the Dwight Howard trade and defends well enough to earn a roster spot . . . ISHMAEL SMITH will back up Nelson once he returns from a shoulder injury . . . E'TWAUN MOORE has played well enough in the preseason to spell Nelson too. FORWARDS: HEDO TURKOGLU still has some value as a point forward, though his minutes could shrink as Orlando rebuilds . . . GLEN DAVIS shined in Howard's absence last year. He's inefficient, but aggressive and willing to throw his weight around . . . Keep an eye on ANDREW NICHOLSON; the rookie is a crafty scorer who can shoot away from the basket . . . QUENTIN RICHARDSON will chug along as an injury-prone, three-point specialist . . . AL HARRINGTON is coming off a couple knee surgeries and may not have much left in the tank . . . MOE HARKLESS is athletic, versatile, and could get a long look in the second half of the year . . . GUSTAVO AYON is a capable big body who can play some center . . . JUSTIN HARPER will be buried on the bench . . . JOSH McROBERTS is not good. CENTERS: Davis figures to see a lot of minutes at center, but NIKOLA VUCEVIC is a much better defensive option. He's limited offensively, but could start grabbing more minutes in the middle as the year goes on . . . KYLE O'QUINN is a big body who can score around the basket. He has a rough transition ahead of him as an average athlete from a small school. | | UTAH: GUARDS: MO WILLIAMS will get a crack at running the point in Utah. He's more of a combo guard, but he'll do fine in an offense that revolves around the bigs . . . RANDY FOYE is a gunning combo guard who will step in as Utah's sixth man . . . ALEC BURKS started to come on late last year, making Raja Bell expendable. He'll come off the bench, but if he can start knocking down perimeter shots, he's in for a much bigger role . . . Yeah, that's right, EARL WATSON and JAMAAL TINSLEY are both still around. And they're both riding pine in Salt Lake . . . KEVIN MURPHY is a cagey scorer from tiny Tennessee Tech (no word on his Golden Tee skills). FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP was Utah's best all-around player last season and will be playing for a new contract. He should be able to keep his minutes despite Utah's young bigs behind him . . . GORDON HAYWARD will probably slide to the two. He has a chance for a breakout year after a strong finish to 2011-12 . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS gets a fresh start in Utah after a disappointing run in Atlanta. He figures to have a similar complementary role with the Jazz . . . DERRICK FAVORS is a long-term solution in the frontcourt. His offensive game is coming on, and he's already a far better defender than Al Jefferson . . . Slam dunk champion JEREMY EVANS and DeMARRE CARROLL will both provide energy off the bench. CENTERS: Like Millsap, AL JEFFERSON will hit free agency after the season. He's an incredibly limited player, a great scorer in the low post, but incapable of any other contributions and a huge liability on defense . . . ENES KANTER is still a few years away from a starting job. He has some rough edges to his game, but really had no problem adjusting to the physicality of the NBA. |

*Magic-Jazz Preview* ====================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Orlando (7-10) at Utah (9-10), 9:00 p.m. EDT
The Orlando Magic posted disappointing results over the season's first full month but have significantly picked up the pace in December.
The slumping Utah Jazz, in contrast, haven't been able to get much going of late.
The Magic continue a five-game road trip seeking a season-best third consecutive win Wednesday night against the Jazz, who try to avoid matching their longest skid from 2011-12.
Orlando (7-10) managed just 88.5 points per game in dropping 10 of 13 to conclude November but has since found a groove. The Magic - in their first matchup against the former face of the franchise - got the best of Dwight Howard in Sunday's 113-103 win over the Los Angeles Lakers, then beat Golden State 102-94 one night later.
Arron Afflalo and Glen Davis both had 24 points while J.J. Redick scored 22 off the bench for Orlando, which compiled 23 points off the Warriors' 14 turnovers and outscored them 48-36 in the paint.
"It was a great win for us. For the most part, I think we played as hard and with as much energy as we did (Sunday) night, which is saying a lot," said Redick, who went 4 for 6 from 3-point range against Golden State. "(Sunday) night was an emotional night, (tonight's) a back-to-back, there was a natural tendency to let down, so it really says a lot about our group."
Orlando now looks to carry some momentum over to Wednesday against Utah (9-10), which has taken three straight in this series by an average of 10.7 points.
The Jazz, though, could be hard-pressed to extend that run if their recent results are any indication. Utah has given up 111.7 points per contest while allowing teams to shoot 51.4 percent during a three-game losing streak.
The Jazz led by as many as 14 points late in the third quarter Monday against the Clippers before surrendering 32 in the fourth of a 105-104 defeat. Utah, which dropped to 6-1 at home, has gone 6-26 since the start of last season when allowing at least 103 points.
"It all starts defensively for us," said Gordon Hayward, who scored 17 points off the bench Monday. "That's how it's been all season for us, we gotta be better."
The Jazz surely can't afford to come out with another sloppy display, either. Utah's 17 turnovers led to 25 points for the Clippers.
"You gotta take care of the ball, can't give them any easy ones, especially at home, you just gotta be better than that," Hayward added. "Hopefully (when) we come out next game, we will."
Mo Williams had 20 points and 12 assists Monday for the Jazz, who continue to play without Marvin Williams (concussion-like symptoms) and Derrick Favors (plantar fasciitis). Both players are unlikely to suit up against the Magic.
Favors' absence could help Orlando's Nikola Vucevic continue his impressive play down low. The 7-foot Switzerland native has combined for 31 points, 27 rebounds and six blocks in the two December games after averaging 6.8 points in his previous six.
"I don't think I was really playing that bad, I just think offensively I wasn't as aggressive," Vucevic said. "I knew at one point I had to come back and turn it around and just keep believing in myself. ... I'm more aggressive now and it's shown."
In addition to keeping Vucevic involved, the Magic may want to get Redick more looks. Orlando is 7-3 when he has at least 11 points and 0-6 when he scores 10 or fewer.
