With just seven days remaining in the regular NBA season, games are running out in the East and West as the final postseason positions are strived for.

Friday NBA action: Jazz at Warriors

Two teams in search of momentum-building efforts, while on the cusp of the postseason, will go head-to-head Saturday night when the Utah Jazz visit the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco.

Before taking their respective home courts at midweek, the Jazz (46-31) and Warriors (48-29) had been struggling to the point where home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs was no longer a sure thing. The honor comes attached to a top-four finish in the Western Conference.

More from the NBA:

In fact, losing five straight dropped the Jazz all the way to fifth in the West. Even after a 122-109 win Thursday over the Los Angeles Lakers, they currently find themselves dueling the Denver Nuggets to avoid falling another notch.

Meanwhile, Golden State has dropped four in a row. With a loss on Saturday, the Warriors would not only fall within one game of the Jazz, but probably would lose a tie-breaker based on conference record.

The Warriors also learned Friday that star guard Stephen Curry will miss the final five games of the regular season as he continues his recovery from a sprained left foot.

The team said it will next update Curry's status on 11 April. Golden State concludes its regular season slate one day earlier against the New Orleans Pelicans
