INJURY WATCH: Shooting guard Gordan Giricek played 16 minutes but shot just 1-of-6 from the field Wednesday, his first back game after missing six straight with tendinitis in his right Achilles.

Usual starting small forward Andrei Kirilenko, meanwhile, has said he hopes to return tonight after missing five games with a sprained right ankle. If he does, it remains uncertain just how long he'll be able to play — and if he'll play ahead of or behind his replacement starter, rookie Ronnie Brewer.

BY THE NUMBERS: The Jazz have scored more than 100 points in each of their 11 wins this season, and 110 or more in five of their last six outings. They've also shot 50 percent or better from the field in six of the past seven games. The lone exception in both instances was last Monday's win over Toronto. ... Only four other teams in NBA history went into Thanksgiving with a record of 11-1 or better. ... At 6-0, the Jazz are joined by 4-0 New Orleans/Oklahoma City as the last remaining NBA teams that have not lost at home this season. At 7-0, they're joined by 5-0 San Antonio as the only teams that have not lost a conference game this season.
