They are now down to 6th in the East with a 29-22 record. James Harden is unable to carry the team, with Kevin Durant rehabilitating from his injury and Kyrie Irving playing only part-time. However, many analysts are still confident in their championship credentials because once they are in the playoffs and all three stars are healthy, we will not worry about a slump in February.The Utah Jazz snapped their five-game losing streak against the Denver Nuggets in their last game, but have in fact lost 11 of their last 14 games. They are now fourth in the West with a 31-21 record.
