Utah Jazz are third in the northwest division of the NBA Western Conference. They need to keep getting the wins and will be confident of doing just that when hosting the Washington Wizards. Utah find themselves in a tight battle in their division, one win behind Oklahoma City Thunders and four adrift of the Denver Nuggets. Overall, Utah are sixth in the Western Conference and should make it into the play-offs. Their home record is impressive with 20 wins out of 29 but their last four have all been lost. There have been some tough matches against Boston, Denver and Houston, all either leading or in the top two of their divisions and this is an easier task.

The Wizards sit third in the southeast division of the Eastern Conference but aren't looking likely to make it into the play-offs. They have a 21-36 season record and are third in their division behind Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. Overall, they are in ninth place in their conference, five wins behind Orlando. Washington haven't had a great season on the road with 21 of their 28 games being lost. Most of February has been spent playing at home with only two on the road. Those have produced a win in New York and defeat in Chicago. Go for Utah to boost their play-off hopes with a win on a -10.5 spread.
