Paul Millsap is a late scratch from the Utah Jazz's lineup tonight thanks to a bruised knee. Sixth man Andrei Kirilenko will replace the power forward in the starting five against the Indiana Pacers for the 7 p.m. game at EnergySolutions Arena.

Millsap made it through Sunday's practice and participated in this morning's shootaround, but his right knee that was hurt while accidentally bumping against Kyle Korver in Saturday's game was not feeling well enough to go tonight, according to a team spokesman. Millsap missed three games recently with a sprained left knee.

Regular starter C.J. Miles will also be out tonight. That means Utah will go with Deron Williams, Ronnie Price, Ronnie Brewer, Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur, leaving the Jazz with a thinner bench against an Indiana team that has three double-figure-scoring reserves.
