Will the Jazz Finish in the Top 6?

Can someone remind me what being a division winner means? Let’s say we win the NW Div but finish 5th in the standings. Do we get home court advantage over Dallas?

Pre 2015-16 we would have been the 4th seed with home court. Not anymore.

It means nothing now. I don't even think it guarantees a playoff spot.

Actually I think the only thing it means is you have to play every team in your division 4 times, compared to the random 3 games against other same conference teams.

I thought about this a little more and changed my vote to YES!

Doesn’t record against your division end up being a criterion at some point as like a tertiary or quaternary tie breaker?
