19. Utah Jazz (8-8)

Last week: 14 

The Utah Jazz has lost six of their last 10 games and have really struggled overall this season. And a big reason why is because of their shooting. This is a team whose offense ranks in the bottom third of the NBA.

Plus, their defense is not much better. They currently rank 21st in the NBA, and have really struggled. Perhaps it’s the new pace that nearly every team in the NBA is playing at, but it’s pretty clear that something is off with this team.

The Jazz need to turn things around sooner rather than later, before their start gets too out of hand.
