Pointing out Utah’s differential point total in their two matchups against the Miami Heat seems like an interesting focus point
Utah’s defensive inconsistency and road struggles seem to be the main concerns heading into the final few weeks before All-Star weekend.
Rudy Gobert’s eventual return should help the former, however, the Jazz need to find a way to play at least .500 ball on the road during the season’s second half if they are serious about sneaking into the West’s playoff picture.
Ranking the Jazz at No. 20 may seem generous given the fact that they have dropped 13 of their last 16 games. That said, I feel that Utah’s position at 20 feels about right.
