Like the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Utah Jazz were one of the trendy picks of the summer in the Western Conference. Though, they too are off to a lackluster start to the season.
However, without Gordon Hayward, this is a bit more expected. I don’t think anyone believed they’d be perfectly fine without their best player. While he’s still expected to miss a few more weeks, all you can really ask from the Jazz is to stay afloat.
In other words, hover around .500 or better until reinforcements return.
