  2. Knicks (13-48) Somehow have won two straight, worst record in the East.
  3. Mavericks (26-34) 3-7 in last 10, have lost 5 straight.

  5. Lakers (29-31) 3-7 in last 10, lost to ATL, NOP, Mem in last 4 outings.

 

The Jazz again are on the outside of the top five looking in, despite winning 15 of their last 22 games. The Jazz have a tough stretch of games coming up over the next week, with games against the Clippers, Nuggets, and Bucks. Wins over these three teams would propel the Jazz into the top five next week.
