With Rudy Gobert protecting the rim and Gordon Hayward playing like an unabashed superstar, the Utah Jazz are on fire.

Sure, they dropped games to the Memphis Grizzlies, Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics within their last 10 outings, but a victory over the defending champions and a blowout at the expense of the overmatched Detroit Pistons nearly negates those losses. All recent events add up to boost Utah’s standing and push them into the top five of NBA Math’s latest Power Rankings.

Just as in last week’s edition, we’re determining how all 30 teams stack up in wholly objective fashion, using our Team Rating metric to evaluate both season-long performances and the levels the squads have played at in the last few weeks.

As such, placements will be determined by the average score in two components: season-long Team Rating and Team Rating in the 10 games prior to publication.
