The last time the Utah Jazz had 50 wins in one season was the 2009-10 season.

We are currently on pace for 50.35 wins.

The magic number is 15 and we have 25 games remaining.

I was adamant that the Jazz were a 48-49 win team this past offseason. Lets see if they can prove me wrong.

We have an insanely hard schedule to end the year. We have more road games, and a road game, home game, road game in 4-5 nights is essentially the same as three road games.

If that is as true as I've been told it's true, then the Jazz have essentially a 15 game road trip here coming up. That will be the brutal stretch that we find out who we really are. March 5-April 2. That will make us or break us. 15 games, 5 at home, but no extended stays at home.
 
3 down 12 more to go. We need to go 12-8 in the final 20 games to hit 50 wins.

As of today, Fivethirtyeight.com predicts the Jazz win 49 games.
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2017-nba-predictions/

However, if you go by the win probabilities (game by game):

@Sacramento: 59%
New Orleans: 84%
@Houston: 29%
@OKC: 40%
LA Clippers: 69%
@Detroit: 57%
@Cleveland: 25%
@Chicago: 52%
Indiana: 55%
New York: 84%
@LA Clippers: 39%
New Orleans: 87%
@Sacramento: 59%
Washington: 66%
@San Antonio: 20%
Portland: 78%
Minnesota: 78%
@Portland: 42%
@Golden St: 14%
San Antonio: 49%

If you assume all probabilities > 50% are wins....Jazz go 12-8 and get 50 wins.
 
I can't recall if I went with 49 or 50, but I can't take prognostication credit because either way if I had known of the injuries I would have subtracted 5 or more from the total.
 
6 down 9 to go. We now need to go 9-8 in the final 17 to hit 50 wins.

Maybe I was being conservative by stopping at 50.

Helluva win tonight. Biggest win of the season so far.
