While the Utah Jazz will play against several worthy foes this upcoming season, these six teams are the ones I’m most excited to see them match up against in 2018-19.

The NBA season is truly something special from beginning to end. On any given night, the amazing can happen, from a highlight dunk to a buzzer beater to an array of unforgettable plays. In the case of the Utah Jazz, especially considering how formidable they are set to be this upcoming year, I truly can’t wait to watch them suit up for all 82 games in 2018-19.

Even so, I’d be lying if I said there weren’t certain games that I was a little more excited about than others and certain teams that I’m particularly excited to see the Jazz go up against head-to-head. With a deep Western Conference and an Eastern Conference with some scary teams at the top that will be anxious to prove themselves now that LeBron James is out of their ranks, there are plenty of squads that could make for interesting competition for the Jazz.

With that being said, while each and every Jazz game will be a treat, these six teams are the ones I’m most looking forward to seeing go head-to-head with our hometown Utah squad.
