Utah's Bell out against Timberwolves

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Utah Jazz guard Raja Bell will miss Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a strained left adductor.

Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said before the game that Josh Howard will start at small forward and Gordon Hayward will move to shooting guard.

Bell is averaging 7.4 points per game and has hit a 3-pointer in 18 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NBA.
