The Warriors are aiming to get their 9th win of the season against the Utah Jazz tonight. After a long layoff, the Dubs must be eager to return to the court. The Warriors currently have one of the best records in the West and they’ve done it without David Lee.

Lee has been battling a hamstring injury since the pre-season and the Warriors want to make sure he’s completely healthy before taking the floor. According to Rusty Simmons of the San Francisco Chronicle, Lee will miss tonight’s game and be re-evaluated tonight:
Warriors power forward David Lee won’t play tonight. His strained hamstring will be reevaluated after tonight’s game.

Lee tried to play against the Clippers earlier in the season, but only logged in about six minutes. Before he can make an impact, Lee was pulled from game and finished with six points. The Warriors have replaced Lee with Draymond Green in the starting line-up and it has worked out well.
However, Lee is missed on the glass. He can rebound the ball very well and the Warriors have been giving up a lot of offensive rebounds this season. With Lee healthy, the Warriors will find themselves with a lot more depth and a tough decision to make on who to start moving forward.
