11. Utah Jazz (32-24)
The Utah Jazz are playing some of the best basketball in the Western Conference as of late, and have won seven of their last 10 outings. There were rumblings that the Jazz were trying to make a bold move at the trade deadline, but nothing materialized in the end.
And that’s not the end of the world for this team either. The Jazz have the talent to be a real factor in the playoffs. If you remember, this is a team that many had expected to be a top 3 team in the conference before the season.
There’s no question that, when right, this team can make a real run in the playoffs. As as of late, this team is looking more and more “right.” If they can carry that into the post All-Star break push, the Jazz couple be the most dangerous Western Conference team not named the Warriors.
