20. Utah Jazz (17-25)

While the Utah Jazz have struggled without the presence of Rudy Gobert in the lineup over the last few weeks, the rise of Donovan Mitchell has been enough to keep this team semi-afloat. The Jazz are just 4.5 games back of the 8th seed in the West, and could make a real playoff push once Gobert returns.

That said, the Jazz have a difficult decision to make over the next few weeks. Should they trade Derrick Favors ahead of the trade deadline?

If they don’t plan on signing him to a long term deal during the summer, they need to move fast.
