The Utah Jazz (29-33) find themselves in the ninth seed and a game and a half back of the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference standings heading into Monday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks (35-28) are in the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference. While they are only two games behind the Miami Heat for the fourth seed and home-court advantage in the first round, they are also just three games ahead of the ninth seed Detroit Pistons and face the possibility of missing the playoffs a year after being the top seed in the east.
