Projecting the NBA Western Conference playoffs seeds

#6 - Utah Jazz (currently 40-30, 6th)

The Jazz are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now

The Utah Jazz have consistently gotten better over the past five seasons and look to make the playoffs for a second-straight year after narrowly missing out in 2016. The Jazz are currently on a 9-game winning streak and sitting on the 6th spot in the Western Conference.

I see the Jazz remain at 6th by the team the season is over for two reasons. They have a tough stretch of San Antonio, Boston, and Golden State coming up, and then they have to play the Warriors again on 10 April. They're not in any danger of missing the playoffs, but they are not going to get much higher anywhere they are.
