|
| |  | LA LAKERS: GUARDS: KOBE BRYANT is 35 and coming off a ruptured Achilles. Even if he is ready for the season opener (as expected), Achilles injuries have drained the athleticism out of younger men . . . STEVE NASH enters the year healthy, but the training staff has discussed a minutes cap for the 39-year-old point guard . . . NICK YOUNG could grab that other starting wing spot, opposite his boyhood idol. How those two gunners could co-exist is something we'd love to see . . . STEVE BLAKE looked good in this offense last season, but is strictly a back-up . . . JODIE MEEKS might shoot his way into a much bigger role this season . . . XAVIER HENRY will need to prove a lot to earn himself minutes . . . What are you complaining about, Lakers fans? You got JORDAN FARMAR back! FORWARDS: PAU GASOL should benefit from the departure of Dwight Howard, who never bought into head coach Mike D'Antoni's offense or even tried to mesh with Gasol. D'Antoni's up-tempo, Euro-style system is perfectly suited to Gasol's strengths. And when Nash sits, they can run a lot of sets through their big man . . . WESLEY JOHNSON will have a chance to grab the vacant small forward spot. The former No. 4 overall pick has been a big disappointment through three seasons, but he looked decent as a spot-up shooter last seasons . . . JORDAN HILL will be the first big man off the bench in a thin frontcourt rotation. He can rebound and clean up around the basket a bit . . . ELIAS HARRIS keeps the Gonzaga connection going . . . SHAWNE WILLIAMS has had success for D'Antoni, but he is far removed from his days contributing for the Knicks. CENTERS: CHRIS KAMAN is the consolation prize after Dwight Howard's departure. Yes, it's a monstrous downgrade talent-wise, but as a skilled 7-footer, Kaman at least fits D'Antoni's system better . . . ROBERT SACRE has a chance to develop into a useful back-up center. | | UTAH: GUARDS: TREY BURKE is a savvy floor general who can shoot, but he's also short and a mediocre athlete (and we've seen how that's worked out for Brandon Knight). He'll step right in at the point, but immediate success is hardly guaranteed . . . ALEC BURKS is locked in at the two. He'll be able to hang in defensively, and he's a decent ball-handler and passer. His shaky jumper is an issue . . . BRANDON RUSH returns from an ACL tear and could emerge as the sixth man . . . JOHN LUCAS III is here as a Plan B at the point and to help mentor Burke a bit . . . IAN CLARK won't see a lot of action as a rookie, but he can play either guard spot. FORWARDS: DERRICK FAVORS will run into foul trouble, but he will be a nightly double-double threat and rim protector . . . GORDON HAYWARD becomes Utah's No. 1 option on offense. He'll struggle to create his own shot with defenses focusing on him, but he is a knock-down, three-point shooter who's improving off the dribble . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS is coming off heel surgery and will miss at least the first month of the season. He's not a part of Utah's long-term plans, but will likely see minutes due to the team's lack of depth . . . RICHARD JEFFERSON is a player/coach at this point in his career . . . JEREMY EVANS will be brainstorming for the dunk contest. CENTERS: ENES KANTER is a major upgrade over Al Jefferson as a defender and in the team concept on offense. He immediately becomes one of the league's better starting centers . . . ANDRIS BIEDRINS at least has a chance to reestablish himself as a capable back-up . . . RUDY GOBERT has freakish size, but he's a major project who is nowhere near ready to contribute. |

*Lakers-Jazz Preview* =====================
By JUSTIN EINHORN STATS Senior Editor
Los Angeles (13-16) at Utah (8-23), 9:00 p.m. EDT
Though his team lost again, Pau Gasol was pleased by how the Los Angeles Lakers played on Christmas. Now it's uncertain if he'll be around to help them build on the performance.
The Lakers may have had some extra motivation in their last game, facing the defending champions on national television, but Gasol hopes they bring a similar effort against the Western Conference-worst Utah Jazz on Friday night in Salt Lake City.
Even if he can't be a part of it.
The veteran 7-footer is listed as day-to-day and reportedly did not travel with the team to Utah due to an upper respiratory infection which caused him to miss a game last week. The Lakers return home to face Philadelphia on Sunday.
Gasol seemed to be doing fine on Christmas, when he had 13 points and 13 rebounds in 29 minutes of a 101-95 loss to Miami.
The Lakers (13-16) led the two-time reigning NBA champs by 10 points and never trailed by double digits despite playing without Kobe Bryant (knee) or point guards Steve Nash (back) and Steve Blake (elbow).
It was a significantly better performance than the previous two games for the Lakers, who lost 102-83 at Golden State on Saturday and 117-90 at Phoenix two nights later.
Gasol sat out Saturday with the illness and played a season-low 20 minutes Monday.
"We need to just build on the same intensity and effort and concentration that we put in (Wednesday) and carry it to the next game and don't fall back into the bad habits of the last two games against Golden State and Phoenix," Gasol said. "We need to really bounce back in Utah. We have a good chance to get a nice road win and that's what we're gonna try to do."
His potential absence, though, could hurt a Los Angeles team which has a league-worst minus-5.0 rebounding margin. Utah is among the worst at minus-2.9 and has been outrebounded in eight of the last nine games.
As Los Angeles tries to avoid a season-high fourth straight loss, the Jazz (8-23) look to halt their worst home losing streak since the 2010-11 season.
The Jazz have dropped four straight home games, but three defeats came to elite teams - Indiana, Portland and San Antonio - while the other came in overtime to Sacramento. They're returning from a 2-3 road swing.
Utah has been struggling offensively, averaging 88.5 points in the last six games on 41.2 percent shooting. The Jazz were better Monday in a 104-94 loss at Memphis to close the trip, shooting 46.7 percent overall and 11 of 24 from 3-point range.
"I thought the effort was there. We're trying," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "We had some lulls in there, but the guys are fighting, and, as a result, we had chances in the ballgame. We just couldn't get over the hump."
Rookie Trey Burke had 18 points after totaling five in the previous two losses on the trip, compared to 50 in the two wins.
Gordon Hayward came up one assist shy of his first career triple-double Monday but struggled with his shot on the trip, hitting 32.8 percent from the field while averaging 12.2 points.
Conversely, the Lakers' Nick Young has been on a tear. He's 19 of 38 from 3-point range over the past six games, averaging 20.8 points.
The Jazz had won four straight over the Lakers before losing the last meeting, 102-84 on Jan. 25 in Los Angeles.
