ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Devin Harris, Shooting guard Vince Carter, Small forward Bobby Simmons, Power forward Ryan Anderson, Center Brook Lopez. Bench -- Guard Keyon Dooling, Forward Eduardo Najera, Center Josh Boone, Forward Jarvis Hayes.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Devin Harris has some support for a berth in the NBA All-Star Game. Earlier, Indiana coach Jim O'Brien acknowledged he voted for Harris. On Wednesday, Toronto's Jay Triano did the same, saying Harris was a no-brainer.
"To me it was," Triano said. "He's gotten a whole lot better at everything but he is a scoring point guard for sure. That's not to say he's not going to find guys. He does a nice job of finding them as well."
--G Vince Carter had another strong game against his former Toronto team Wednesday: 27 points, 10 rebounds, five assists (his 29th game of 20 or more points this season). Since he left Toronto in a trade in 2004, Carter had faced the Raptors 18 times with the Nets going 9-9 in those games. He has averaged 23.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in those 18 games.
--G Keyon Dooling tied his career high with five three-point baskets against the Raptors on Wednesday. Dooling had five triples in one game while playing for Orlando. Dooling's 17 points were his highest total since Jan. 3 (23 at Miami) and represented his 18th double-figure point game of the season.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--F Yi Jianlian is out for up to another month with a broken right pinkie. He is working out daily with GM Kiki Vandeweghe.
