The Utah Jazz are still without their main scorer, Donovan Mitchell, and their veteran point guard, Mike Conley.

Mitchell is suffering from a right ankle sprain, and his condition hasn't improved as the team continues to delay his return.

Conley, on the other hand, will miss his 8th straight game due to tightness in his right hamstring. The only other player on the Jazz's injury report is Juwan Mogan, who is out due to soreness in his right heel.

The Golden State Warriors are coming off a dominant win against the OKC Thunder, courtesy of a monster performance by Stephen Curry. He dropped 49 points, including 11 threes in 29 minutes.

Along with Klay Thompson and James Wiseman, who are out for the season, Eric Paschall, Kelly Oubre Jr. and Damion Lee are also ruled out for Monday's game.

Pascall is suffering from a left hip flexor strain, while Oubre Jr. continues rehab for his left wrist soreness. Although there isn't a fixed timeline for when the latter will return into the lineup, he is expected to return before the play-in tournament. Meanwhile, Lee is out due to health and safety protocols.
