Utah Jazz coach Ty Corbin has moved C.J. Miles into the starting lineup in place of veteran guard Raja Bell as he searches for a way to get his team playing better.

Miles was to start Wednesday night against Minnesota, just as he did Monday against Philadelphia. Bell admitted that Miles is better starting rather than coming off the bench.

But Bell made it clear he was unhappy at the lack of communication before Monday's game.

Rookie forward Derrick Favors will start again in place of injured forward Paul Millsap, who hopes to play Sunday at Houston after missing five because of a knee injury.

Miles scored 19 points Monday, and Favors added 11 points and six rebounds.

The Jazz remain without reserves Francisco Elson, Mehmet Okur and Ronnie Price.
