NBA Power Rankings: Heavy’s Top 10 for January 24


6. Utah


Record: 29-17


Last week: 8th

Despite the last-second loss to the Thunder, Utah is still 2.5 games up on Oklahoma City in the Northwest Division, which is essentially a two-team race at this point. Quin Snyder's team is now playing without starting guard Rodney Hood, who's out with a knee injury, but the return of Alec Burks at the start of the month does help. The Jazz have the look of a team that can make some noise in the playoffs because of their defense, and the downshift in tempo won't have much of an impact on a team that play's the slowest pace in the NBA. The big issue is whether or not everyone will be healthy when that time comes. (Getty)
