Although the Utah Jazz currently sit within a half-game of the Houston Rockets for the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference playoff picture, one can’t help but feel like their playoff window is in danger of closing. After winning seven straight games just before the All-Star break, the team has now lost five of its last seven and faces a difficult four-game road trip this week.
The action begins on Monday night against the Boston Celtics. While the Jazz were able to handle the Celtics at Vivint Smart Home Arena recently, capturing a 111-93 victory, they could be in for a fight when they visit TD Garden.
