|
| | | LA CLIPPERS: GUARDS: Head coach Doc Rivers pretty much hands the offense over to CHRIS PAUL, who is very much in his prime. He has a chance to lead the NBA in assists and steals again . . . He was banged up during the regular season, but J.J. REDICK fit nicely next to Paul when healthy . . . JAMAL CRAWFORD will reprise his sixth-man role. He can still fill it up, though he'll lose a bit of playing time if Redick stays healthy . . . JORDAN FARMAR is still hanging around L.A., this time to back up Paul. He'll run point for the second unit . . . C.J. WILCOX is arguably the best shooter in the rookie class, but he's not guaranteed to grab a rotation spot. FORWARDS: He still has flaws in his game, but BLAKE GRIFFIN continues to evolve into a more complete player. His improved shooting, both mid-range and at the line, is a testament to that . . . The Clippers failed to land an upgrade at small forward, so MATT BARNES might be the starter by default again. He's a good glue guy, though his streaky shooting is a frustration . . . The Clippers retained GLEN DAVIS in free agency. "Big Baby" can do some damage against opposing second units during the regular season. CENTERS: Rivers made DeANDRE JORDAN into a full-time player last season. He's a rim protector and rebounder who has made some strides defending in space, but there's a reason the Clippers spent on another big man . . . SPENCER HAWES gives them a different look at the 5-spot, and he can play alongside Jordan as a floor-spacer as well. | | UTAH: GUARDS: TREY BURKE is likely the lead guard here, though it's really by default. He doesn't have the athleticism to make a lot of plays in the lane, and will have to rely on difficult shot-making . . . He continues to steadily improve, and there could be a bigger role available for ALEC BURKS. He'll have to develop a more consistent three-point shot before he really breaks out though . . . DANTE EXUM is an electrifying athlete, but he's making an enormous jump from essentially high school ball in Australia. He could be a gem in the long run, but don't expect him to do much as a rookie . . . TOURE' MURRY will likely play some garbage minutes. FORWARDS: He ascended to the alpha role in Utah, but GORDON HAYWARD had some struggles with the extra defensive attention. He should improve somewhat, as he knows what's coming, and has added a runner to his repertoire . . . DERRICK FAVORS will play more at the 4-spot this season, and he has the strength to power his way to easy baskets. He's a potential double-double guy . . . RODNEY HOOD had an up-and-down year at Duke despite his physical gifts. He has an NBA-caliber combination of size and athleticism, but right now he's a streaky shooter with a lot of rough edges on his game . . . TREVOR BOOKER is a solid second-unit big man, a defensive bruiser and good screener on offense . . . JEREMY EVANS can dunk, but provides little else . . . STEVE NOVAK will never be a full-time player, but he's still one of the league's elite shooters. CENTERS: He was disappointing last season, but ENES KANTER still has some upside on the offensive end of the floor. How he and Favors will mesh is yet to be seen . . . RUDY GOBERT is a shot-blocking fool, but still ultra-raw |

*Clippers-Jazz Preview* =======================
Los Angeles (9-5) at Utah (5-11), 9:00 p.m. EDT
Fatigue has proven to be no enemy to the Los Angeles Clippers, and the same can be said of the Utah Jazz in recent seasons.
The Clippers can cap a seven-game trip with an 11th straight victory over the Jazz, who have dropped a season-high four straight heading into this Saturday night matchup.
Los Angeles (10-5) seeks a 6-1 record on this trip after coasting past Houston 102-85 on Friday. Now the Clippers get a chance to improve upon their NBA-best 4-0 record in the second half of back-to-back games.
When the Clippers get back home, they will have traveled 7,231 miles during this trip. It is the second-longest trip by distance that any team in the NBA will travel in a seven-game stretch this season.
"The road is hard," coach Doc Rivers said. "Winning is hard. The fact that we're doing it on the road is great."
Blake Griffin is third in the NBA with 29.5 points per game in the second half of back-to-backs. Frontcourt mate DeAndre Jordan has made 19 of 21 shots in those games for a league-best 90.5 field-goal percentage.
Those big men combined for 23 rebounds Friday as they took advantage of a Rockets club missing Dwight Howard. Griffin posted his fourth double-double with 30 points.
"It tells you that their confidence is starting to grow," Rivers said. "I've always thought that when your team has confidence they have energy. They don't get tired. I thought that's what that was."
Griffin and Jordan have been in the lineup for every game of this run over Utah (5-11), which hasn't defeated Los Angeles since a 108-79 rout Jan. 17, 2012.
Griffin is averaging 24.8 points during this win streak over the Jazz in which Jordan is averaging 9.6 rebounds.
The Jazz are searching for answers after losing 97-82 at Oklahoma City on Wednesday. They matched their lowest point total of the season and were outscored in every quarter.
"I thought we were really ready to play, and we played very, very well on both ends of the court," coach Quin Snyder said. "Then the game got more physical and it knocked us back."
Gordon Hayward scored a team-high 24 points for Utah, which also finished with a season-low three points from its bench.
The Jazz could have a tough time containing Griffin, whose third effort in which he had at least 30 points required him to log just over only 30 minutes Friday. He scored 12 points in the first quarter and sat out nearly the entire fourth.
"I tried to be more aggressive early - getting to the lane," Griffin said. "We just did a good job of moving the ball early. Even though they were banged up, I thought it was a good test for us."
He starred in the first matchup against Utah this season with 31 points on 14-of-21 shooting and nine rebounds in a 107-101 home win Nov. 3. Hayward led the Jazz with 27 points.
