The Utah Jazz will be without three starters when they take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, the first night of an important back-to-back for the team.

Mike Conley (right knee soreness), Rudy Gobert (rest) and Donovan Mitchell (left peroneal strain) will all miss Friday's game, the team announced Thursday.

The Jazz will also be without Royce O'Neale (right calf soreness) and Nigel Williams-Goss (left ankle sprain). Joe Ingles (right foot soreness) is available.

Utah (43-25) entered Thursday night's games clinging to a 0.5-game lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets for the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference.

Utah will take on the Denver Nuggets, who are two games up on the Jazz for the No. 3 seed, on Saturday.
