The Miami Heat host the Utah Jazz on Monday night as they look to move up in the Eastern Conference standings. Miami Heat comes into this game with a record of 36-33 while the Jazz are 33-35. Miami has won four straight over Utah, including a 126-123 road win in December. Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. EST Monday at Miami-Dade Arena in Miami.
The Utah Jazz have been hanging around all season, and they remain in playoff contention. They currently sit in the 10th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference at 33-35. But they are just a game behind Dallas and Minnesota, who are tied for 7th, and 2 games behind 6th place Golden State, so they are right in the thick of things.

But they also have Portland, Oklahoma City, and New Orleans breathing down their neck, so its definitely the wild west. Just 3.5 games separates 6th place Golden State and 13th place Portland. The Jazz come into this game with some momentum as they have won two straight games. They won at Orlando on Thursday and then won at Charlotte on Saturday 119-111. Talen Horton-Tucker had 37 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists to lead Utah.
