The Golden State Warriors embark on their road trip to Salt Lake City as they are all set to face the Utah Jazz on Monday, March 9, a day after losing a close game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It was clear that the Dubs were missing their talisman, Stephen Curry. He could have been the difference between the two teams. However, until he is back on court, others will have to keep the Warriors afloat so that he can make an immediate impact upon arrival.

Overall, the Warriors are eighth in the Western Conference with a record of 32-31, marginally above the .500 threshold. The Dubs, unfortunately, are going through a rough patch of form, winning only three out of their last eight games. The Utah Jazz, though, have problems of their own as they are 14th in the Western Conference with a 19-45 record. They have the second-worst record in the conference and are heading into this game following a defeat against the Milwaukee Bucks.

Is Stephen Curry playing tonight against the Jazz?

Unfortunately for the Warriors, Stephen Curry will continue to remain on the sidelines with his knee issue and will miss this game against the Jazz. He has been out since January 30, 2025, and has already missed more than twenty games. It has been a massive void that the Warriors have not been able to fill.

The Warriors are 9-15 without the 37-year-old star point guard. Thankfully, though, his MRI revealed no structural damage, but the Warriors have to take a cautious approach. On top of that, Jimmy Butler III is also out injured for the remainder of the season, and in between several others, like Seth Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, and even Draymond Green have missed multiple games due to injury concerns.

Overall, Curry’s absence at this crucial juncture of the season has left his team in dire straits. Before getting injured, he was averaging 27.2 points, 4.8 assists, and 3.5 rebounds while shooting 46.8% from the field. The 37-year-old has faced the Jazz three times this season, averaging 29.7 points per game, which highlights what the Warriors will miss in this game.

Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz predicted starting lineups

Based on NBA injury reports, here’s how both teams could line up for Monday’s game.

Even without Stephen Curry and multiple other players being unavailable, the Dubs should soar past the Utah Jazz, as they have been one of the worst teams in the West. They have issues of their own with injuries. So the likes of Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, and others will hopefully help the Warriors return to winning ways.
