  • Six games are on the NBA schedule for Monday, May 10th
  • The Golden State Warriors host the Utah Jazz in the night’s marquee matchup
  • Get the latest injury reports and projected lineups for all six games below

A total of six games are on the NBA schedule for Monday and the marquee matchup has the Utah Jazz visiting the Golden State Warriors at 10:00 p.m. at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

The Jazz (50-18) have the best record in the league, and lead the Western Conference by two games over the Phoenix Suns (48-20) with four games remaining for each team. A win on Monday would get the Jazz another step closer to having home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.

Eighth in the West, the Warriors (35-33) would get nearer to a berth in the play-in tournament with a victory. Golden State is a home underdog in this game, though.

Here is a rundown of key injuries to be aware on Monday.

  • The Hawks have a good chance of getting De’Andre Hunter (knee) back following a six-week absence
