|
| |  | 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. | | 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. |

*Pacers-Jazz Preview* =====================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Indiana (26-17) at Utah (23-20), 9:30 p.m. EDT
While the Indiana Pacers handily got by the Utah Jazz at home last month, they figure to face a much stiffer test in Salt Lake City.
The Pacers look to avoid a sixth consecutive road loss to a Jazz team seeking a season best-tying sixth straight home win Saturday night.
Indiana (26-17) dominated Utah (23-20) in almost every facet during a 104-84 rout Dec. 19. George Hill and Paul George scored 20 points apiece as the Pacers, who led by as many as 32, outscored the Jazz 52-28 in the paint and limited them to 37.2 percent shooting.
"They are a good defensive team," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "They took us out of what we wanted to do early. They forced a lot of late shot-clock shots, most of them from the perimeter."
The Pacers, giving up 89.3 points per game to rank second in the NBA, have proven anything but stifling during their last five road matchups against the Jazz. Indiana has allowed an average of 106.2 points and been outscored by 16.4 in those one-sided affairs, dropping to 6-19 at Utah dating to 1986.
The Pacers also struggled defensively Wednesday in a 100-80 loss at Portland. George and David West combined for 43 points but Indiana posted a season-worst 56.4 opponent field-goal percentage and matched a season low with 34 rebounds.
"They played a little bit more aggressive than we did," West said. "We just weren't there for one another on the defensive end. \2026 We know we're better than that defensively.
"Any time you let a team shoot that good of a percentage from the floor, you really don't have a chance to win the game."
Coach Frank Vogel's team, which is 29th in the league with 87.9 points per game on the road, could have a hard time getting back on track against the Jazz. Excluding two losses to the Los Angeles Clippers, Utah has gone 14-2 at home while allowing just 92.9 points per contest.
The Jazz have won 13 of 14 against Eastern Conference teams on their own court since the start of 2011-12, including all five games this season by an average of 12.0 points. They've also strung together five in a row at home overall.
Utah is surely looking forward to getting back there after a 102-84 road loss to the Lakers on Friday. The Jazz, who had won four straight and six of seven, were outrebounded 45-30 and outscored 54-40 in the lane.
"We have to understand how we have to  a team that's playing physical like they are and be ready to go again (Saturday) night," Corbin told the league's official website. "It's going to be a tough one against Indiana."
Al Jefferson managed just 12 points on 5-of-14 from the field Friday while former Pacer Jamaal Tinsley shot 3 of 12 to finish with six.
Averaging a team-high 17.0 points, Jefferson was held to a season worst-tying four points on 1-of-8 shooting versus Indiana in December. He had scored 22.2 per game in his previous five matchups against the Pacers.
George is averaging 21.5 at home compared to 14.1 on the road. He's scored at least 20 in two of his last three games in opposing arenas, though.
