Down 3-0 to the two-time defending Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors, the Utah Jazz have a tough road ahead if they hope to avoid being eliminated in the playoffs. 

And according to a report from the Salt Lake Tribune, their task will once again be made even more difficult as they'll be without George Hill for the third straight game. 

Hill, who had a strong showing in the Jazz's first-round series against the Clippers, is dealing with a toe injury, a problem that plagued him throughout the regular season as well.

Shelvin Mack has started each of the previous two games the team has been without Hill, and figures to once again take most of his minutes.
