Jazz, Thunder Face Off With Little To Play For
Neither the Jazz nor the Thunder has much on the line when they face off at Delta Center.
With two games left in the season, the Thunder have already locked up homecourt advantage throughout the postseason, while the Jazz are hoping to avoid surpassing the Washington Wizards for the second-worst record in the NBA.
After beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday, the Jazz and Wizards are now tied for the league’s worst record at 17-63.
The @WashWizards are not making it easy for the @utahjazz to finish with the NBA’s worst record.

By finishing with the second-worst record in the NBA, either the Jazz or Wizards would open the opportunity to slip to sixth in the draft lottery which will be held on May 12.
The Jazz will conclude the regular season on Sunday when they travel to face the Minnesota Timberwolves, while the Thunder will be in New Orleans to face the Pelicans.
