New Orleans has to have amazing performances from Davis to win. And even then, they can't pull it off half the time.
Phoenix is not going to make the playoffs as they're currently constructed. They'll fade down the stretch. OKC would be hurting if Westbrook had missed time with the jaw fracture. I think they'll get there, but it won't be by much. Jazz look like one of the top 4 teams in the whole league right now. Atlanta, Golden State, San Antonio.
Had they beaten the Lakers and Celtics, they'd be sitting at 32-34 and looking really strong to contend for that last seed. As it is, I think it's just too little, too late. They'll probably finish above .500, but it won't be enough. OKC gets the last spot (which still benefits Utah because of that Kanter pick.)
