The Golden State Warriors are on the road on Tuesday night as they face off against the Memphis Grizzlies in a game that is crucial for seeding in the Western Conference standings with the playoffs right around the corner.
Golden State currently sits just half of a game behind Memphis for the fifth seed in the West and they would not only pass the Grizzlies in the standings with a victory, but they would also secure the tiebreaker between the two teams.
The Warriors enter Tuesday's game having won seven of their last 10 games including two straight.
They will now look to keep things rolling against a struggling Grizzlies team that has lost three consecutive contests and seven of their last 10 games.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, they may be without their young forward Jonathan Kuminga in Tuesday's contest as he is listed as questionable due to a pelvic contusion.

Kuminga suffered the injury in Sunday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs after he took a hard fall.
Of course, this is the same injury Stephen Curry suffered two weeks ago that kept him sidelined for three games.

If Kuminga is sidelined on Tuesday, expect Buddy Hield and Gui Santos to see an increased role.
Golden State has also ruled out Gary Payton II who is out indefinitely due to a torn ligament in his left thumb.
On the other side, the Grizzlies enter Tuesday's game almost fully healthy as they have just two players listed on their injury report.
Memphis has ruled out Brandon Clarke, who will miss the rest of the season due to a high-grade PCL sprain.
The Grizzlies have also ruled out Zyon Pullin who continues to recover from a knee injury.
Fans can catch Tuesday's crucial matchup between the Warriors and Grizzlies from Memphis at 8:00 p.m. EST.
