18. Utah Jazz (18-19)
Winners of four of their last six, the Utah Jazz are beginning to play a little more like a team that is destined to make a second-half push towards the playoffs. They are currently only two games back of the final playoff spot in the West, but I think it’s safe to say that they have their eyes on a spot higher than 8th.
This is a team that many expected to see in the top 4 of the West, but because of one factor or another got off to a real rough start.
Don’t be surprised if the Jazz really get hot during the second-half of the season. If any team is starving to go streaking, it’s the Jazz.
