The Utah Jazz have an enormous advantage over other teams.

Do you think the sample size is large enough that these numbers have stabilized?

Utah has large travel distances for basically all opponents, and is at an altitude advantage. Denver should be similar.
From looking at NBA data, I found that travel distance is negligible. Altitude is probably a factor and I need to look into that. Denver and Utah both had a HCA significantly better than normal.
