On Saturday night, the Washington Wizards are hosting the Utah Jazz, and they have finalized their injury report and starting lineup for the game.

Bradley Beal, Johnny Davis, Taj Gibson, Delon Wright, Isaiah Todd and Jordan Schakel have all been ruled out for the contest.

Meanwhile, Kyle Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis (two of their three best players) have been upgraded to available. 

NBA's official injury report 

Their starting lineup has been relayed by Underdog NBA.    

Underdog NBA: "Lineup alert: Wizards will start Morris, Kispert, Avdija, Kuzma, Porzingis on Saturday." 

The Wizards come into the night with a 6-6 record in their first 12 games of the season and are tied with the New York Knicks for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.  

They have a talented roster that could compete for a play-in tournament spot if they can stay healthy.  

Beal is a three-time NBA All-Star and is out for the fourth straight game (he had been in health and safety protocols), but it appears he will return soon. 

David Aldridge of The Athletic: "Per Wizards, Bradley Beal has cleared the NBA’s health and safety protocols. Won't play Saturday against Utah (return to competition reconditioning)."

As for the Jazz, they come into the game with a 10-3 record in their first 13 games of the season. 

They are also in the middle of a four-game winning streak. 

Over the offseason, they traded away All-Star Donovan Mitchell (to the Cleveland Cavaliers) and Rudy Gobert (to the Minnesota Timberwolves), which is why their start to the season has been so impressive.
