Ilyasova is starting Thursday's game against the Jazz, FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.

Analysis:

After coming off the bench in his two appearances following a 10-game absence, Ilyasova will replace the underwhelming Johnny O'Bryant in the starting five. His previous tilt Monday against the Raptors is likely more indicative of his potential output -- 14 points, seven rebounds, and one block in 23 minutes -- but an uptick in his workload cannot be ruled out with a more prominent role.
