Utah Jazz Schedule 2019 Jazz Schedule

The Utah Jazz finished out the season as the fifth seed, and if you have read the other schedules already, you know this division was the toughest in basketball. The Jazz ended up finishing third, but were behind Oklahoma City and Portland by a game. They took care of business at home, where Utah is a tough place to play for many. They had the second worst divisional record, going 7-9, but they went 34-18 in the conference, which was tied with Minnesota for the best in the division. Utah was able to do well against the teams they were expected to beat, going 22-8 against teams below .500. The Jazz are a super competitive bunch, and went 26-26 against teams that are above .500. The one area where the Jazz struggled was against the Eastern Conference teams. They went just 14-16 against them, which is ultimately what could have set them back from taking this division. The Jazz will need to improve in this area if they want to make the playoffs again. This division is extremely competitive, and with the Lakers and Spurs potentially returning to the playoffs, there is going to be an odd team out. The Jazz making moves puts them on a map nationally, although some people do not like the slow paced defensive basketball they play, but tough luck. The Jazz open up their nationally televised schedule with a matchup against Golden State. They then face Boston twice in the month of November, which both games are on TV. The Jazz have a decent run in to the potential playoffs, but do face a tough task against the Lakers and Nuggets two out of the last three games. Outside of that they face the Clippers, Kings, Suns, and Hornets which are very winnable games.
