Jet cleared to takeoff ... and start

Jason Terry moves back into the starting lineup tonight with Josh Howard out for personal reasons. Terry and Devin Harris open together in the backcourt for the 11th time this season, with Eddie Jones slipping down to Howard’s small forward slot.

Jerry Stackhouse figures to be the first guard off the bench. Look for either Devean George or Trenton Hassell to move into the rotation, as well.
