Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 1, 2026

Utah sits at 29th with a -10.5 neutral-field rating, a slight improvement on last year's -11.2 but still firmly in the league's basement. The market has been even harsher than the numbers, with the Jazz outperforming the spread by 4.1 points across a 1-3 start against a soft -3.1 schedule, so there's a modest buy-low case on a team the public is over-fading.
