Well, unless you’re the Utah Jazz and you know you’ll be without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, Walker Kessler, Jordan Clarkson, Johnny Juzang and Cody Williams. Of course, the Jazz do have one player who has confidence and belief that can’t be tamped down.

Dennis Schroder scored 23 points with five 3-pointers, Brandin Podziemski contributed 20 points off the bench with Stephen Curry sitting out to rest his troublesome knees, and the Golden State Warriors beat the stumbling Utah Jazz 114-103.
