The Golden State Warriors entered Tuesday night’s game against the Utah Jazz with a major level of desperation for a win.
As the day progressed, it was revealed that the Jazz would be resting a majority of their team and starters. As a result, the Warriors made a few changes of their own. One of those changes included resting Steph Curry as he’s been playing through both a knee and thumb injury. Curry has mentioned that he’s been playing through discomfort with the injury.
Steph Curry is out tonight vs Jazz. Steve Kerr: “Knees are bothering him.” Warriors are hopeful he plays tomorrow vs Thunder.

Due to the Warriors resting Curry, the team will be rolling a new starting lineup against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. The Warriors will be starting Dennis Schroder, Buddy Hield, Andrew Wiggins, Moses Moody, and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

It’s a very peculiar starting lineup for the Warriors because they’re missing Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jonathan Kuminga. The opportunity will be good for Schroder in particular, especially because he’s struggled so much that he’s already been relegated to the bench.
Even without Curry, Green, and Kuminga, the Warriors should have more than enough firepower to beat the shorthanded Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. Utah will be missing Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, Walker Kessler, and more.
Jazz Injury Report:
OUT – Jordan Clarkson (left plantar fasciitis – injury management)
OUT – John Collins (illness)
OUT – Taylor Hendricks (right fibula fracture)
OUT – Johnny Juzang (right hand fracture)
OUT – Walker Kessler (left shoulder contusion)
OUT – Lauri Markkanen…

If Golden State somehow manages to lose Tuesday night’s game against the Jazz, then it’ll truly be a rock-bottom moment of the season. The Warriors and Jazz face off at 10:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
