Including tonight, the Utah Jazz are only four games away from securing the best odds for a top-five pick in the NBA draft. Despite Utah sharing equal odds with two other teams for projected number-one pick Cooper Flag, securing worst record in the league would keep them from falling any further than the fifth pick in the draft. As it stands, Utah is in sole control of their draft position, sitting a 1.5 games ahead of Washington in second and 3.5 games ahead of Charlotte in third.
Atlanta, who currently sit at eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, are fighting for a position in the Play-In Tournament and a crack at the Playoffs.
