The Utah Jazz are about as desperate for a win as a team can get. After sitting at the top of the conference a couple of times early in the season the team is now ninth in the West with a 2-8 record over the last 10 games.
This game marks the second in a six-game home stand. At one point that would have been a superb thing to note as the Jazz were not too long ago undefeated at home. But fitting for the recent trend, Utah has lost three of its last four in Vivint Arena.
