The 2019-20 Utah Jazz schedule is loaded with exciting contests to look forward to. But these five in particular really stand out above the rest.

The 2019-20 NBA schedule has been out for a while now and no doubt Utah Jazz fans, as well as supporters of all the other 29 teams, have begun pinpointing the games they’re most excited for. The Jazz received a quite favorable schedule this time around as they secured a tie for the lowest number of back-to-back sets (11) on the season and enjoy a relatively well-balanced slate from start to finish.

And while there’s a lot to look forward to in 2019-20 as a whole considering the monumental changes Utah made this summer, that doesn’t change the fact that there are a handful of contests that will stand out above the rest as the most exhilarating. Of course, circumstance and time could change many factors of the schedule, but with our limited preseason knowledge, there are definitely specific games that look like they’ll be absolute thrills.

In all honesty, I probably could have selected about two dozen or so that I’m absolutely on the edge of my seat with anticipation for. But for this exercise, I did my best to narrow things down even further. As such, the following are the five games that Jazz fans should have circled on the calendar as the ones that could prove to be among the most epic of showdowns of the upcoming 2019-20 campaign.
