OAKLAND, Calif. -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson says Jermaine ONeal will start in place of injured centre Andrew Bogut for Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series at the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Jackson said Friday that he wants ONeal to start because its easier for the 35-year-old veteran to stay loose. He also says ONeal provides a similar skillset to Bogut, who is out indefinitely with a fractured right rib. The Warriors will use smaller lineups with David Lee or Marreese Speights at centre and Draymond Green or Harrison Barnes at power forward when ONeal is not in the game. ONeal averaged 7.9 points and 5.5 rebounds in 44 games this season, his 18th in the NBA. He sat out 25 games following surgery on his right wrist in December and also missed time with injuries to his right foot, groin and both knees. Erik McCoy Jersey .

Los Angeles still has the Utah Jazz, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat on this residency. The Clips began this stay with a 100-86 Christmas night win over their bitter rivals, the NBAs best team, the Golden State Warriors. Jamal Crawford scored half of his 24 points in the final quarter, and the Clippers overcame a sluggish start. The Clippers went 4-of-24 from the field in the opening quarter and shot 27.7 percent over the first 24 minutes, but went ahead for good with nearly 4 1/2 minutes left in the third and dominated the fourth. Chris Paul provided 22 points and Blake Griffin chipped in 18 with 15 rebounds and six assists for the Clippers, who began a franchise-record homestand by snapping a two-game skid. Theyve won eight in a row at home. Jamal came in and picked up our slack, Griffin said. After shooting 27 percent in the first half we were down by only one. We kept the faith. It was a great win. DeAndre Jordan scored 14 points to go with 12 rebounds in the win, as the Clippers got revenge for a 121-104 loss in Oakland on Nov. 5. Its niice to beat them because theyre good, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said.dddddddddddd Were better mentally than when we played them last time. The Raptors started a six-game sojourn with a loss in Chicago. Theyll visit the Denver Nuggets, Portland Trail Blazers, Warriors and Phoenix Suns on this odyssey. On Monday, the Toronto defense didnt show up in a 129-120 loss at the United Center. Kyle Lowry tallied 34 points and six boards, while Jonas Valanciunas added 20 points and nine rebounds for Toronto, which had its six-game winning streak snapped. Terrence Ross finished with 17 points, followed by 16 from James Johnson and 12 apiece from Lou Williams and Patrick Patterson. I thought our defensive attention to detail wasnt there, Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. The Bulls, who trailed by as many as 12 in the second half, pulled away in the fourth by outscoring the Raptors 49-37. The game was tied 95-95 just prior to the midway point of the frame before Chicago went on an 18-8 run over the next 4:48. The Raptors committed only eight turnovers, but allowed the Bulls to shoot 54.1 percent from the field and 50 percent from long range. Chicago shot a whopping 43-for-47 from the free-throw line. The Clippers have won two in a row and five out of six against the Raptors. LA has taken four straight as the host in this series. ' ' '
