Utah Jazz (38-38)

Schedule: @PHX, SAS, LAC, @DEN, DAL, @LAL

The Utah Jazz have seemingly come out of nowhere for a playoff spot. I gave them no hope of even reaching 40 wins in my previous playoff update and they have consistently put in good performances whilst the teams around them have faltered.

Should clock up easy victories against Phoenix, Denver and the Lakers and I’m backing them to get the all important win against the Mavericks. Difficult games against the Spurs and Clippers should be their only losses on the run home. I’m expecting the Jazz to get into the playoffs and get some real experience for their young core.

Projected Home Stretch Record: 4-2

End of Season Record: 42-40
