The final regular-season game pits the Golden State Warriors against the Utah Jazz. Important players might not play for both teams, even though the outcome of the game will have a significant impact on both teams.
Starting shooting guard Collin Sexton is doubtful, and the injured players include Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, Kris Dunn, and Lauri Markkanen. Regarding the Warriors, Gary Payton II is out, and Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Chris Paul, Jonathan Kuminga, and Klay Thompson are dubious.
There’s a lot on the line for both sides in what seems to be a battle of the backups. If Utah loses or if the Brooklyn Nets defeat the Philadelphia 76ers, Utah will have the eighth-best lottery odds. Before their game begins, Utah will also be aware of the result of the Nets game. A coin flip will determine the lottery fate of the Jazz and Nets if they wind up tied at the conclusion of the day.
In terms of the play-in tournament, the Warriors can improve their seeding, but head coach Steve Kerr says they might play it safe and rest their main players.
