The Lineups

Because of Dennis Rodman’s absence and Shaquille O’Neal’s uncertain playing status, the lineups for tonight’s game could have a different look. If O’Neal can’t play, Travis Knight (4.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists per game) will move into the starting lineup at power forward and Elden Campbell will shift to center.
