ROTATION: Starters -- G Raymond Felton, G Jason Richardson, F Gerald Wallace, F Jared Dudley, C Emeka Okafor. Reserves -- G D.J. Augustin, F Andre Brown, F Adam Morrison, G Matt Carroll.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Raymond Felton is playing self-consciously, trying too hard to impress management, entering restricted free agency in July, according to managing partner Michael Jordan.
--G D.J. Augustin showed just how good he can be in the second quarter against the Raptors, scoring 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting and adding two assists.
--C Nazr Mohammed isn't playing much despite the Bobcats' obvious need for help inside. Mohammed hasn't topped six minutes in the past five games, with Brown leaning toward small lineups in the second half.
--G Shannon Brown had a big impact for two games, but now he's all but disappeared. Coach Larry Brown has turned to jump-shooters Adam Morrison and Matt Carroll more.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--C Emeka Okafor was limited to 26 minutes against the Raptors, after coming down with the flu Saturday.
