This team has been worse overall than the Jazz, but that might not be for much longer.
It's still not clear where the Utah Jazz go from here. They are one good stretch from being right in the thick of the play-in race while also one bad stretch from being right square in the tanking game. We'll know better by mid-season, but before then, if the Jazz go more for the tank, they'll have one fewer team to worry about in that race: the New Orleans Pelicans.
