KEY GAME INFORMATION
OKLAHOMA CITY: GUARDS: RUSSELL WESTBROOK can do whatever he wants inside the arc and will continue to be a shoot-first point guard . . . JAMES HARDEN will likely keep coming off the bench, but he'll also keep playing starter's minutes . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA is OKC's best perimeter defender. But his role won't become more prominent until the postseason . . . ERIC MAYNOR should be just about all the way back from his torn ACL. When healthy, he's one of the league's best backup point guards . . . DAEQUAN COOK will see limited minutes as a three-point specialist . . . REGGIE JACKSON's role will shrink to near nothing if Maynor is healthy. FORWARDS: KEVIN DURANT continues to do it all, and has done nothing but steadily improve each season . . . SERGE IBAKA is obviously an elite shot-blocker, but he continues to get lost in space. He's made some strides as a pick-and-roll defender, but that weakness is why he doesn't play 30 minutes per night . . . NICK COLLISON will continue to steal a lot of Ibaka's minutes because he defends the pick-and-roll better, and because he draws so many charges, he's almost as good in help situations . . . PERRY JONES III is an incredible athlete, but needs a year or two to learn the game . . . LAZAR HAYWARD is back as a 12th man. CENTERS: KENDRICK PERKINS will continue to start, but is a part-time player. The Thunder are often better with a small lineup. While Perkins is a bruiser he is too easy to exploit as a defender in space . . . COLE ALDRICH could be ready for a slightly bigger role off the bench . . . HASHEEM THABEET is a reclamation project. There's a sliver of long-term hope, but he won't help this year.
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.

*Thunder-Jazz Preview* ======================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Oklahoma City (56-21) at Utah (41-37), 9:00 p.m. EDT

The Oklahoma City Thunder are trying to close the gap in the race for the top seed in the Western Conference.

There's much more at stake for the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz look to continue their surge and build on their slim lead for the West's final playoff spot Tuesday night when they face the Thunder in what could be a first-round playoff preview.

Oklahoma City (56-21) leads the Northwest Division by three games over Denver with five games left in the regular season, so - barring a collapse - the Thunder should emerge with a third straight division title.

They're probably much more concerned with entering the playoffs with home-court advantage as the West's top seed, and they trail San Antonio by one game in that race after falling 125-120 to New York on Sunday.

"We're good. We've got five more games to go," said forward Kevin Durant, who had 27 points and seven assists. "What's the need to panic for? We're good."

The Jazz (41-37) aren't nearly that comfortable.

With four contests left, Utah leads the Los Angeles Lakers by one-half game in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot. Despite the Lakers having a game in hand, the Jazz hold the tiebreaker by winning the season series.

"Four games left. We've got to have them," center Al Jefferson said.

The Jazz have gained the advantage in the playoff chase by winning seven of eight while averaging 103.9 points and shooting 50.3 percent from the floor - 40.5 from 3-point range. That's a dramatic improvement after enduring a 3-12 stretch that included shooting 43.7 percent - 34.7 from beyond the arc.

Utah's recent surge continued with Sunday's 97-90 win at Golden State, spoiling the Warriors' chances of clinching a playoff berth.

"I can't say enough about this group of guys," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "This was all about them and them wanting it, and the way they came out. Although we made some mistakes in the game, everybody laid everything they had in them out there on the floor."

Mo Williams connected on 11 of 19 from the floor to finish with 25 points after totaling 12 on 5-of-20 shooting over the previous two games.

The guard has reached 20 points in six of the past 18 games, averaging 12.4 over that stretch after missing 32 with a sprained right thumb.

Williams was held to five points in a 110-87 loss at Oklahoma City on March 13. He sat out the most recent home meeting Feb. 12, when Jefferson scored 23 in a 109-94 victory.

Oklahoma City has won seven of the past nine games with the Jazz despite Durant averaging 23.6 points.

He had 33 points at Salt Lake City in February and may have some motivation for a similar performance since he's locked in a tight race for the NBA scoring title with the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony. Durant is averaging 28.35 points while Anthony is at 28.44.

Russell Westbrook is averaging 27.8 points, 9.5 boards and 8.5 assists over the past four contests. He fell just shy of his second triple-double of that stretch Sunday, getting 37 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.
