The Utah Jazz shoot for their 10th straight win over the Memphis Grizzlies when the two clubs square off Monday night from EnergySolutions Arena.

Utah has won nine in a row, 10 of 11 and 13 of the past 20 meetings with the Grizzlies, who have lost four consecutive trips to Salt Lake City. Memphis hasn't beaten the Jazz since a 132-130 overtime triumph on January 24, 2007, and is 6-21 all-time in Utah.

The Jazz will resume a six-game homestand this evening and improved to 3-1 on the residency with Saturday's 108-92 win over the Portland Trail Blazers behind Carlos Boozer's 26 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists. Deron Williams ended with 24 points, 15 assists and six boards for the Jazz, who have won five of their last six games overall. Mehmet Okur had 12 points in the win.

"We got off to a good start, and I think everybody had a lot of energy to play," Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan said. "They were probably tired from a tough game last night, but you face those things as you go down the road, and you still have to play."

Sloan's team will also host the Indiana Pacers and is 6-3 at home. Jazz forwards Andrei Kirilenko and Paul Millsap both left Saturday's game and may not play tonight versus Memphis. Kirilenko is doubtful because of back spasms and Millsap's bruised left knee has him listed as questionable.

Memphis will resume its five-game road trip Monday and fell to 1-2 on the swing following Sunday's 98-88 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center. Marc Gasol led the team with 26 points and Rudy Gay registered 15 and 10 rebounds for the Grizzlies, who are 2-8 on the road and will also visit the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"We stopped playing (in the fourth quarter)," Memphis head coach Lionel Hollins said. "We turned the ball over. It was a horrible quarter for us. Give them credit."

Jamaal Tinsley had 12 points and seven assists in a losing effort.
