The Utah Jazz are currently the hottest team in the NBA as winners of six straight games and eight out of their last 10. They have worked their way back into the playoff discussion at 25-28 and are only three games out of the No. 8 seed in the western conference. That apparently is not [...]

The Utah Jazz are unlikely to return to the postseason in 2018 (currently 3.5 games out).
