Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz: Key matchups

Stephen Curry vs Collin Sexton

Curry poses a variety of threats to defenses. Notably, his ability to score with the ball, catch and shoot and off the ball/screening make him a constant risk.

When he has the ball, he can score in various ways. It can be high screens, pick-and-roll with spread-out offense and isolation with mismatches that can set Curry off for a big night. He's averaging a league-best 4.5 3-pointers made on 39.7% from distance. His season averages are 26.7 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 4.9 apg and a steal.

Collin Sexton, meanwhile, a two-way guard, is averaging 16.9 ppg, 2.6 rpg, 3.9 apg and 0.7 steals. In his last two games, he hs averaged 28.5 p with a +16 net rating.

Players, when guarded by Sexton, shoot 45.1% on 9.4 attempts in the paint and 40.5% on 4.5 attempts from the mid-range.

Draymond Green vs Lauri Markkanen

Markkanen is playing like an All-Star and may become one this season. He's averaging 24 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks on 49.7% shooting and 39.7% from the 3-point line.

He's a big reason for the Jazz's recent resurgence, with his ability to score from the post, mid-range and the 3-point line. He can draw attention for Clarkson and Sexton to drive with his near 40% 3-point shooting, drive to the rim and draw fouls.

Draymond Green's return will help the Warriors get the defense they lacked in their recent losses and could be a crucial matchup between the forwards, which could be pivotal in the game.
