The Jazz try to avoid a sixth loss in seven road matchups against the Grizzlies, who could possibly earn home-court advantage in a first-round series with a 14th home win in 15 tries Wednesday night.

After winning nine of 11, Utah (43-38) enters the last day of the regular season one game behind the Los Angeles Lakers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Jazz, who own the tiebreaker thanks to a better head-to-head record, will get in with a win Wednesday and a Lakers home loss to Houston.

"It comes down to one game now," Al Jefferson said. "It's a big game. The only thing we can worry about is what we can control, going out there and trying to take care of the game, and trying to win, and just leave the rest up to the Lakers, I guess."

The Lakers and Rockets are scheduled to start 2 1/2 hours after the Jazz and Grizzlies tip off.

"I guess I have to try and get in touch with Kevin McHale and tell him to handle it for me," said Jefferson, who played for the Rockets' coach when both were in Minnesota.

Winners of three straight on the road for the first time since a four-game run Dec. 18-29, 2010, the Jazz are coming off Monday's 96-80 victory at Minnesota. Jefferson, who three nights earlier posted a career high-tying 40 points and 13 rebounds in a 107-100 home win over the Timberwolves, had 22 and eight.

"Talk about this group of guys, man the character that they have, there was no quit in this group," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "The guys just continued to work."

The Jazz, though, could have a hard time keeping things going in Memphis, where they've dropped five of six, including a 103-94 loss during their last visit Nov. 5.

They've split their two meetings in Salt Lake City since, winning most recently 90-84 on March 16.
