SALT LAKE CITY — The Jazz will play Atlanta tonight without both starting point guard Deron Williams and starting small forward Andrei Kirilenko.
Williams is out because of a right quadriceps contusion sustained in Sunday night's win at Portland. He finished the game, but did have ice on his thigh and knee after getting hurt.
Backup Ronnie Price will start in his place.
Kirilenko experienced back spasms in the second quarter of Sunday's game and did not return. It will be the seventh game he's missed this season because of back issues.
Backup C.J. Miles will started in his place.
