(Sports Network) - The slumping San Antonio Spurs hope to get some support in the Alamo City tonight, when they open a four-game homestand versus the Utah Jazz at the AT&T Center.

The Spurs have dropped two straight and four of six games to fall to 4-5 on the season, and just suffered a 99-94 overtime loss in Dallas on Wednesday. Dirk Nowitzki scored 11 of his season-high 41 points in overtime to burn San Antonio, which fell to 0-4 as the guest this season.

Tim Duncan ended with 22 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, while Richard Jefferson contributed 13 points and 11 boards in the loss.

"Both teams were physical and it is always a good rivalry when these two teams play. Down the stretch and in overtime they made some shots and did a good job," said Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.

Tony Parker (ankle) missed Wednesday's game and Manu Ginobili left the contest in the first quarter with a groin problem and did not return. According to Popovich, Ginobili will not play tonight, while Parker is doubtful. San Antonio will also host Washington, Milwaukee and Golden State on the homestand and is 4-1 at the AT&T Center.

Utah has alternated wins and losses over its last eight games and handed the Toronto Raptors a 104-91 setback on Wednesday from EnergySolutions Arena.

Deron Williams returned to the Utah lineup and posted 20 points, nine assists and six rebounds to lead the way. Williams missed the final two games of the team's recent road trip to be with his daughter as she went through some medical tests. Carlos Boozer scored 22 points and pulled down 18 rebounds for Utah, which also received 20 points from Andrei Kirilenko. Eric Maynor scored nine of his 15 points during a fourth quarter run that sealed the victory.

"He has been playing great that allows me to step out and play the two a little bit," Williams said of Maynor. "He earned playing time, he showed the coaching staff he belongs on the court and played well in my absence and is still playing well."

Mehmet Okur (flu) and Ronnie Price (sprained left big toe) both missed the game and are expected to be out again for Thursday's tilt.

Utah hasn't played so hot in San Antonio, losing its last 20 trips there, but defeated the Spurs, 113-99, on November 5 this season in Salt Lake City. San Antonio is 10-5 in the past 15 overall matchups between the teams.
