On the final day of the 2023/24 NBA regular season, which will be played this Sunday, April 14 and will feature all 30 NBA teams in action, Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz will face each other in a key matchup for the home team. Stephen Curry and Collin Sexton will be the stars of the game.
The Jazz will serve as visitors with nothing to lose. Although they have won their last two games, the Salt Lake City franchise has long since fallen out of playoff contention, sitting in 12th place in the Western Conference with a 31-50 record.
