As you can see, the Jazz open the season with a very tough task, hosting Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder on October 30th. They will see the Thunder twice in the first month of the season. Also seeing multiple times in the first month, the Jazz will face the Phoenix Suns (3 times), Chicago (2 times), New Orleans (2 times), and the Golden State Warriors (2 times).
The Jazz will have a tough first month, but if they can play well enough, they could end the season fairly well.
Another reason that Jazz fans could be excited, the final home game of the regular season will be a match up with Kobe Bryant and the L.A. Lakers. Then they will close out the season in Minnesota against Kevin Love (if he isn’t traded by then) and the Timberwolves.
