Donovan Mitchell and the Utah Jazz (41-24) will take on Dejounte Murray and the San Antonio Spurs (25-41) in part of the NBA Friday slate.
With the Dallas Mavericks and Denver Nuggets looking to move up in the Western Conference standings, the Jazz must continue to win games to keep a safe distance.
Right now, the Jazz holds a two-game lead over the Mavericks for fourth in the Western Conference standings and trail the Golden State Warriors for the third spot by three whole games.
Bojan Bogdanovic will be sidelined for this game due to a day-to-day injury. Donovan Mitchell has shouldered much of the scoring burden for the Jazz offense, but will need some help from his teammates with Bogdanovic not being in the lineup.
