1. Utah Jazz vs. New York Knicks – TNT November 15

Traditionally, the Utah Jazz and New York Knicks aren’t rivals, but if you have been on either teams Twitter over the past month, you wouldn’t know it at all. This all stems from the trade rumours surrounding Donovan Mitchell, and it seems like the NBA schedule makers think that something is going on too, as this is the only matchup the Utah Jazz will have on TNT in 2022/23.

As of August 18th, we are yet to see any significant movement between the two sides, but when the Knicks come to town, whether Mitchell is still a member of the Jazz or he has been moved to New York, it’s going to produce some fireworks. If indeed Mitchell is traded before this game takes place on TNT, then this may be one of the biggest games of the season, either way, it’s going to be one that’s very personal for all Jazz fans, and one that they would love to win in front of the home crowd.

Utah may not have a lot to look forward to this season if Mitchell is moved, but if they can pick up a win over the team that trades for him (or the team that didn’t trade for him, and Utah want to win out of spite) would be huge, and a highlight of the Jazz season.
