With Carlos Boozer out look for rookie Paul Millsap to get big minutes.  He’s been impressive so far this season in limited duty.  He’s only averaged 16.0 minutes played per game this season, but, he’s averaging 6.2 points and 4.6 rebounds.  If he can double those averages the Jazz will be o.k.  Matt Harpring will also get some minutes at power forward.  He’s averaging 24.2 minutes, 10.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game this season, so chances are he’ll play well with the extra minutes.

Carlos Boozer will miss 4-5 weeks with a hairline fracture to his left fibula.  The Jazz will have a hard time replacing the 22.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists that Boozer was averaging this season.  Look for rookie Paul Millsap to get most of the minutes and Matt Harpring to get some of them too. 

Deron Williams missed a free throw with 5.9 second left in the game and then Vince Carter dribbled the ball all the way down the court and hit a 35-footer to end the game!  It’s amazing that the Jazz lost a game in which they outrebounded their opponent 44-21, but they did!  Deron Williams led the way for the Jazz with 25 points and 5 assists.  Mehmet Okur had a solid all-around game with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists.  Derek Fisher also had a decent game with 17 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Jazz fell to 29-17 on the season with this loss.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270129026
