ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Brandon Jennings, Shooting guard Charlie Bell, Small forward Carlos Delfino, Power forward Ersan Ilyasova, Center Andrew Bogut. Bench -- Guard Jodie Meeks, Guard Luke Ridnour, Forward Hakim Warrick, Center Dan Gadzuric. PLAYER NOTES: --G Brandon Jennings appears to have established himself as the early frontrunner for Rookie of the Year honors. Jennings, who had franchise rookie record 55 points against the Warriors last week, leads all rookies in points (25.5), assists (5.5) and 3-point percentage (.538).
--F Carlos Delfino had played a combined 31 minutes in the previous two games before playing 39 minutes against the Nets Wednesday night. Delfino responded to his extended court time by scoring 21 points and recording six assists.
--G Jodie Meeks is regarded as an outstanding perimeter shooter, but he has struggled mightily in recent games. Meeks missed his only 3-point attempt against the Nets Wednesday night and now has made only 2 of his last 14 shots from beyond the arc.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Michael Redd (strained patella tendon) missed his seventh straight game Wednesday night against the Nets. Redd is expected to practice with the team Thursday and may possibly play Friday night against the Bobcats.
--F Luc Mbah a Moute (sprained left foot) didn't play against the Nets Wednesday night. He is unlikely to play against the Bobcats Friday night at Milwaukee.
