The Utah Jazz have been a horrible team this season and have a 10-28 record, but they only have the fifth-worst record in the NBA, and they obviously would love to be able to draft Duke University star Cooper Flagg this summer.

They’re expected to be sellers ahead of the upcoming trade deadline, and one player who has been rumored to be on the move soon is guard Collin Sexton.

The Orlando Magic are the betting favorites to land Sexton via trade, per NBACentral.

Sexton, 26, is a quick speedster guard who is putting up 18.2 points a game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 42.0 percent from 3-point range this season.

He may not be a starter on a good or great team, but at worst, he is a sixth-man type of player who can be a spark plug for a number of clubs across the NBA.

The Magic have unexpectedly jumped out to the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference, and they have done so with one of the NBA’s best defenses, despite injuries to Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner.

But if they are to take the next step and become contenders, they will need an injection of offense, and perhaps Sexton is the man to do just that for them.

They currently rank just 27th in offensive rating and last in points per game, and other than Jalen Suggs, their backcourt is seriously challenged offensively.

The NBA’s trade deadline will be at 3 p.m. New York time on Thursday, Feb. 6.
