[quote_simple]NETS STARTERS

The starting lineup for Preseason Game 3  at Philadelphia will be with Shaun Livingston playing alongside Joe Johnson with Reggie Evans, Kevin Garnett and center Brook Lopez.

Paul Pierce will get the night off to rest while Andrei Kirilenko has back spasms so both did not travel with the team to Philadelphia.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

The second unit will once again get the majority of the playing time as the Nets look like they have more players injured or out of this game than they do playing in the game.

The Nets have been pounded in the paint the first two games and that has to change for them to be the team they want to whether they are playing starters or reserves so tonight will another good test.  Andray Blatche and Evans need to make a statement and control the paint area from the start.

The Sixers have historically destroyed the Nets on the boards so Garnett should be in full-mouth mode tonight.

SIXERS STARTERS

The young Sixers team will be starting rookie Michael Cater-Williams and James Anderson with Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young helping Spencer Hawes out up front.

The Sixers are a work in progress but are 2-1 in the preseason and returning home from playing two games overseas, first against Bilbao Basket in Spain and then against Oklahoma City in England.[/quote_simple]
