3. Utah Jazz
The Utah Jazz has been one of the few teams that haven’t absolutely been derailed by injury or health and safety protocols this season. And that has reflected their 29-11 record through roughly the first half of the season.
All that said, because of the excellent play of the Suns and Warriors, the Jazz is just the third seed in the Western Conference and viewed as almost an afterthought. Though, that would be a huge mistake.
The Jazz may not be as flashy as some of the other teams in the West, but they’re still really good and if they’re healthy, they’re going to be difficult to knock off in the playoffs.
