Mihm starts at center

Chris Mihm will start at center in place of Kwame Brown, who is on the inactive list tonight with a heel injury. It's a big night for Mihm, who is finally healthy after his season-long ankle problems last year. Coach Phil Jackson said he was confident that Mihm could handle major minutes tonight.

``He had a couple starts in the preseason,'' Jackson said. ``He should be ready to play.''
