The Warriors are all set to return to the floor after an embarrassing loss. The team took on the Lakers in the Rivals Week clash on Saturday and repeated their bad habit. Throwing the game away in the second half. The Dubs entered the fourth quarter with a deficit for the 21st time in the season after a promising start to the game. Anyway, tonight, the team has an opportunity to rectify their mistake, as they take on the struggling Jazz.

The 15th-seeding Jazz that is currently on a 6-game losing streak will look to surprise the hot & cold Dubs at Chase Center. Meanwhile, the Warriors, who are looking to fix their second-half woes, have very little time, as they take on the top-seeding OKC Thunder tomorrow. So, the Dubs have a real test in front of them.

Firstly, they have to win this game to get back to .500 and secondly; they have to work on their half-time downfall. This is something that Stephen Curry personally addressed. During the post-game press after the Lakers’ loss, a reporter stated a fact that the Dubs have a 20-1 record whenever they entered the fourth quarter with a deficit. Reacting to Curry said, “What? Sheesh. I did not know that… I’m sure 1-20 is probably for a lot of reasons. But it’s one of those anomalies that we’ve gotta figure out.”

While the team is desperate to fix its troubles, does it have a healthy roster to back it? Let’s find out. The team has listed out Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga, citing strained left calf and ankle injury, respectively. Even though it’s only two players, Green and JK hold a lot of value in the team’s success.

On the other hand, the Utah Jazz had a lengthy injury report for last night’s game against the Bucks. The report might remain the same, considering it’s a back-to-back game. Here is the list of players injured:

  • John Collins (Illness) – Out
  • Walker Kesslar (Shoulder) – Out
  • Johnny Juzanh (Hand) – Out
  • Cody Williams (Ankle) – Out
  • Taylor Hendricks (Right leg) – Out

Warriors vs Jazz: Starting Lineup and Depth Chart

After missing out on two power forwards, the Dubs definitely struggled in the last two weeks. But at the same time, the team managed to find two gems in the struggle. Gui Santos has come out as a surprise shooter, covering Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga in the No.4 position. Similarly, Quentin Post, the 7-foot rookie, has turned into a special offense addition to the team. So, Post’s long range shooting can help Steph get some space on the floor.
