The Utah Jazz need a Miracle to get home court for the playoffs. With three to play the Jazz are two games behind S.A. and Houston who they play once, along with a home game against Denver.
Jazz Schedule
Sat vs Denver
Mon vs. Houston
Wed @ S.A.
Houston Schedule
Sun @ Den
Mon @ Utah
Wed vs. L.A.C
S.A. Schedule
Sun @ L.A.
Mon @ Sac
Wed vs. Utah

In order for the Jazz to win home court there has to be a three game combination of follwoing scenarios.
Jazz 3-0 Houston 0-3 SA 0-3 this would give the Jazz the 3rd spot SA the 4th and Houston the 5th
The Jazz have to beat Houston and SA to own the tiebreakers in case they end up with the same record.

The Jazz could go 2-1 and have S.A. or Houston go 1-2 but the Jazz loss could not come to either of these two teams.

The chances of us going into SA and winning are very slim, especially if home court is up for grabs. I'm not saying it is impossible, but highly inlikely.

The best scenario is that the Jazz beat Denver and Houston and Houston loses to Denver or L.A.C. We would end up with the same record as Houston but own the tiebreaker and have homecourt against Houston unlike last year.

All of these scenarios will mostlikely be figured out by Sunday night.

I don't see Houston losing at home to LAC
I don't see Utah winning on the road in S.A.
I don't see S.A. losing in Sactown.
