|
| |  | ATLANTA: GUARDS: Considering he was almost gone a year ago, the Hawks are thankful JEFF TEAGUE is still in town. He may never be a great shooter, but he gets wherever he wants on the floor . . . KYLE KORVER is still the NBA's premier shooter, and he's shown no signs of relinquishing that title . . . THABO SEFOLOSHA gives the Hawks a defensive option to complement Korver. He looked worn down last season though, eventually falling out of OKC's rotation . . . KENT BAZEMORE gives Atlanta some more offensive firepower off the bench . . . DENNIS SCHRODER showed flashes of that Rajon Rondo Lite promise last year. Don't be surprised to see him paired with Teague in some lineups . . . There's no guarantee JOHN JENKINS will ever be the same after back surgery. FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP has developed into a capable co-alpha, along with Jeff Teague. In addition to his low-post work, he's developed a three-point shot and the ability to work off the dribble . . . DeMARRE CARROLL is trying to add a three-point shot to his repertoire. It would give him a big boost in offensive value to go along with his defense and all-around hustle . . . ADREIAN PAYNE will provide some much-needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. He's NBA-ready, especially with his ability to pull opposing big men away from the basket with his shooting . . . MIKE MUSCALA gives them another big man who can shoot it, but he's not athletic enough to hold his own in the NBA. CENTERS: Will AL HORFORD ever stay healthy? He's an All-Star when he is. His recent injuries have been a bit fluky, but it's going to be tough to trust him . . . PERO ANTIC proved to be a capable stretch-5 last year, but the arrival of Payne will likely push him out of the rotation. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL has improved tremendously over the past two seasons. His physical skills are off the chart, and now he's significantly cut back on head-scratching mistakes . . . It appears that BRADLEY BEAL is becoming the perfect running mate for Wall in the short and the long term. He continues to develop off-the-dribble skills to go along with his shooting. His broken wrist is expected to fully heal by late November . . . ANDRE MILLER is in more of a mentor role in Washington. He's 38 and averaged less than 17 minutes per night last season . . . GLEN RICE JR. tore up Summer League, but it's unlikely the gunner will become an efficient scorer . . . GARRETT TEMPLE gives them a defense-first option off the bench, but his playing time will be minimal again. FORWARDS: PAUL PIERCE takes Trevor Ariza's spot at the 3. He'll have much more space to work in, not that he's ever needed it . . . The Wizards will likely play it safe with NENE HILARIO's minutes during the regular season again. They'll need him fresh for the playoffs, and they have enough frontcourt depth to do it . . . Back surgery is going to keep MARTELL WEBSTER out for a huge chunk of the season. He's a question mark even after he returns . . . After a lost rookie season, OTTO PORTER should be able to break into this rotation, especially with Webster out . . . KRIS HUMPHRIES will provide some rebounding and energy behind Nen' . . . It's incredible that DREW GOODEN is still employed. CENTERS: MARCIN GORTAT made beautiful pick-and-roll music with Wall last year. There's no reason that shouldn't continue. Gortat is a fringe All-Star . . . DeJUAN BLAIR can mix it up for 20 minutes per night, especially against smaller 5's. |

*Hawks-Wizards Preview* =======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Atlanta (6-5) at Washington (9-3), 7:00 p.m. EDT
The Washington Wizards snapped a five-year playoff drought last season with young stars John Wall and Bradley Beal leading the way.
They're looking all the more dangerous with veteran Paul Pierce on board.
The first-place Wizards go for a third consecutive win and fifth in six tries against the visiting Atlanta Hawks as these Southeast Division foes meet for the first time this season Tuesday night.
"This team did a great job adding some veteran experience, some depth. We're trying to build off last year," said Pierce, who signed a two-year deal this summer. "The Eastern Conference, the way it is, we can be one of the top teams, if not the top team."
Pierce posted season highs with 25 points and 10 rebounds in Saturday's 111-100 win at Milwaukee. Wall scored 19 to go with nine assists and five steals as Washington (9-3) stormed back from 15 down.
The Wizards came out sluggish after beating Cleveland 91-78 the night before.
"In the past, we would have folded and lost by 30. But we dug deep and played hard," Wall said. "You don't win (Friday) night on the big stage and then come out here and get beat. Otherwise, what was the point of winning that game? This is a big statement for our team."
Pierce shot 8 of 16, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range, and scored seven of the team's final 14 points. He's averaging 17.0 points on 54.5 percent shooting over the last three games.
"He's the 'Truth' for a reason," Wall said. "It's great to have a guy like that to take the pressure off you at times. He's been in that situation multiple times, making big shots and big plays."
The Wizards had dropped 18 of 19 against Atlanta before winning four of the last five. Washington has taken three in a row in the series at home, where it's held opponents to 42.2 percent shooting in opening 5-1.
Atlanta has gone 1-4 on the road while allowing 107.4 points per game.
"We just have to bring it. Simple as that," Hawks forward Paul Millsap said. "From the first quarter to the fourth quarter. We have to come out with a bunch of energy. We know we're going to be on the road. It's going to be us against the world."
Atlanta (6-5) bounced back from back-to-back defeats with Friday's 99-89 victory over Detroit, its fifth win in seven games. Jeff Teague led the way with a season-high 28 points while Millsap added 15 and 12 rebounds for his fourth double-double.
The Hawks, who blew a 19-point lead before taking control down the stretch, open a four-game homestand against Atlantic Division-leading Toronto after this contest.
"We're still a long ways away from playing 48 minutes the way we'd like to play, but I think there were a lot of good stretches," coach Mike Budenholzer said. "We'll learn from where we weren't good and get ready for a big week next week."
Wall averaged 21.3 points and 10.3 assists in four matchups against the Hawks last season.
Beal has averaged 16.7 points off the bench while shooting 51.2 percent in three games since returning from a broken wrist.
Wizards starting center Nene played six minutes against the Bucks before exiting with plantar fascia, leaving his status in doubt for Tuesday.
