Utah is one game below the Washington Wizards in the NBA standings, and can guarantee themselves no worse than the fifth pick in June’s draft if they finish with the worst record in the league.
The team has already guaranteed itself the worst record in franchise history after dropping its 60th game against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
The Jazz will complete their five-game road trip on Sunday in Atlanta.
The Pacers, meanwhile, own the fourth-best record in the East and are three games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons in the standings.
Milwaukee won the season series with Indiana, while the Pacers own the tiebreaker over the Pistons.
The Pacers’ magic number to clinch the fourth seed is four with six games left to play.
