The Golden State Warriors will be away to the Utah Jazz seeking to keep their current NBA winning streak going. Half a game separates the two teams in the Western Conference with the Warriors in 10th having the advantage over the 11th-placed Jazz. The Utah Jazz saw a two-game winning run come to an end last time out as they were defeated 129-115 away to the Suns. Will Hardy’s men are going through a tough spell as they have lost seven of their last 11 games. Former Warrior, Otto Porter Jr, who joined the team on the trade deadline, could continue to wait for his Jazz debut. He has been listed as ‘Questionable’ due to a foot problem. Brice Sensabaugh is also doubtful for this game. The Jazz, who are one game below .500, are averaging 117.8 points.

The Warriors are in red-hot form at the moment and have won their last four matches. They are coming off an exciting 113-112 victory over the Suns. Steve Kerr’s men have turned the corner in February and have won six of their last seven fixtures. This form has allowed them to get back to .500 as they have now won 25 of their 50 games. With both teams angling at securing a playoff position, this is bound to be an exciting matchup. Gary Peyton II, who had been out for a month, returned against the Suns and scored 11 points. Chris Paul remains sidelined and will miss this trip while Gui Santos is questionable. The Warriors have the sixth-best-ranked offence and are averaging 119 points a night.
