The Utah Jazz now have a two-game lead over the Phoenix Suns and they need to win just one of their last three games to secure the best record in the NBA heading to the playoffs. If they fail to secure a victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, the Jazz still have a chance to do so against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings. This team has been doing well resting Donnovan Mitchell leading to the NBA playoffs as they only lost once in their last six games. Their last loss was against the Golden State Warriors but the positive was Jordan Clarkson stepping up with 41 points.
