The Jazz will start Deron Williams, Raja Bell, Andrei Kirilenko, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson tonight in a preseason game versus the Los Angeles Lakers at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.Utah center Francisco Elson (hamstring) and forward Jeremy Evans (forward) are probable.Williams (calf) said he will go hard and only come out of the game if he feels pain. He has not been able to fully test his calf in recent days, though, and the Jazz had a light practice Monday.The Jazz will evaluate their 17-man roster Thursday, then make cuts. Utah has been impressed by its overall roster throughout the preseason, and it will be harder than normal for the organization to slim down to at least a 15-player roster by the start of the regular season.— Brian T.
