ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Raymond Felton, Shooting guard Raja Bell, Small forward Gerald Wallace, Power forward Boris Diaw, Center Emeka Okafor. Bench -- Guard D.J. Augustin, Forward Vladimir Radmanovic, Center DeSagana Diop, Forward Cartier Martin.
PLAYER NOTES: --G Raja Bell continues a terrible shooting slump with a 3-of-12 performance versus the Wizards.
--F Gerald Wallace was great overall Wednesday with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but he scored just four after halftime when the Wizards made their big comeback.
--G Raymond Felton got a nice compliment from Wizards coach Ed Tapscott, who used to be the Bobcats' president. Tapscott said Felton's improvement this season is all about him learning to play at different speeds, rather than always pushing the ball at full sprint.
--F Vladimir Radmanovic is tailing off as a three-point shooter, going 2-of-8 in his last two games.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--C Emeka Okafor sat out practice Tuesday with a sore left knee, but played versus the Washington Wizards Wednesday. Okafor contributed 15 points and seven rebounds in 33 minutes.
