Are the Utah Jazz in a playoff race? The Jazz are knocking on the door of the 10th spot in the West with their recent play and the failures of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider takes a look at if the Jazz are really in that caliber of the playoff race teams and if we should engage in the playoff race.

Then Locke looks at what has been a no surprise road trip so far for the Utah Jazz. The Boston Celtics were on a different level and the injured Philadelphia 76ers were there for the taking. We have seen the new rotation of players for an extended period and opponents have reacted. How is the scouting report impact Kris Dunn, Simone Fontecchio and Collin Sexton.

Then Locke looks at a sour Milwaukee Bucks team who has lost 3 of their last 4 and is not playing any defense. The Bucks will be without Damian Lillard and for one night that might not be good for the Utah Jazz.

It is a trends Monday and the Jazz rank right in the middle of the pack most recently so maybe it is a playoff race.

A deep dive into the Utah Jazz lineup data is surprising and counter to what you would anticipate about basketball and the Utah Jazz. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, takes a look at all the Jazz players on and off numbers.

From that bench point, then it is time to look at the front court combinations. The initial numbers are really encouraging for the impact of Walker Kessler on games defensively. The Jazz starting front court of Lauri Markkannen, Kelly Olynyk and John Collins is amazing offensively.

Then a look at the back court combinations is really surprising and the numbers on how Keyonte George plays best and what combinations work for Keyonte George.
