The Golden State Warriors travel to Salt Lake City to play the Utah Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Friday.

The Warriors (3-13) had more question marks than anyone headed into the season and a lot of them have been answered. The bad news for Golden State is that all of the questions were answered with negativity. This season has been a rollercoaster of disaster, with injuries just obliterating this roster. While they did know that Klay Thompson would be out for the season before the year, they didn't know that Stephen Curry would break his hand in the opening week. That ended all hopes of a promising season and that doesn't even include differing injuries to guys like Draymond Green, D'Angelo Russell and Kevon Looney. Green is actually the only one who remains healthy and that's obviously not enough to compete when you see the rest of the lineup. That's led to this ugly 3-13 record, with the Warriors getting blown out regularly.

The Jazz (9-5) have always been dominant at home and that's the case again this season. In fact, Utah owns a 6-1 record at Vivint Smart Home Arena, with the lone loss coming against the Minnesota Timberwolves earlier this week. That's a bizarre loss for a team like this, especially after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies in the prior fixture. Even with those questionable defeats, Utah still owns one of the best records in the west. That should be common for this team all season, adding players like Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic in the offseason. While Conley has struggled so far, Bogdanovic has been superb. Once they get Conley going, this will be one of the scariest teams in the NBA.

Utah won the first meeting between these teams, 122-108, on November 11. Prior to that, the Warriors won 16 of their previous 22 games against the Jazz dating back nearly a decade.
