Today’s Look At The NBA Standings

Utah won last night and has three wins in its last seven games. As recently as last week, the Jazz were 15th in the conference and 29th overall. New Orleans has lost 10 in a row and fell below Utah in the standings.

Looking at the final stretch of the season, the Jazz have the eighth toughest remaining schedule while New Orleans has the 10th. Charlotte has the 12th-toughest while Washington has the second-easiest remaining schedule.
There are also some important individual games remaining for Utah. The Jazz play the Pelicans one more time on Sunday, March 2. The Pelicans have won both of the previous two matchups against Utah.
The Jazz also have two games against the Wizards and one game against the Hornets remaining.
On top of all of this, just to close out the month of February, the combined winning percentage of Utah’s opponents is over 58 percent.
Winning three games in the first two weeks of the month wasn’t ideal for Utah regarding lottery odds. However, they are still in prime position to end the season off with a bottom-three record in the NBA.
