Kings vs Jazz Preview

The Jazz finished with a 37-45 record last season, missing the playoffs. Utah put up 117.1 points a game, which was seventh in the NBA. On defense, the Jazz surrendered 118.0 points per contest (24th in the league).

Last year’s Most Improved Player, Lauri Markkanen, is back, as are guard Jordan Clarkson and forward Kelly Olynyk. Clarkson, Markkanen, Olynyk, guard Collin Sexton and center Walker Kessler round out the potential starting lineup for Utah in this one.

Utah added Taylor Hendricks with the ninth overall pick, Keyonte George with the 16th overall pick and Brice Sensabaugh with the 28th selection in Round 1. We’ll see how they contibute to the rotation.

On the other side, Sacramento went 1-4 in the preseason. The Kings finished with a record of 48-34 last year, getting eliminated in the first round of the postseason in seven games by the Golden State Warriors.

Sacramento did plenty right during its 2022-23 run and the team is looking to build on it. The Kings led the NBA in scoring, finishing with a 120.7 points-per-game average.

On defense, the Kings allowed 118.1 points per contest, which ranked 25th out of 30 teams.

The Kings should roll out a starting lineup of guard De’Aaron Fox, guard/forward Kevin Huerter, forward Keegan Murray, forward Harrison Barnes and center Domantas Sabonis. Fox in particular had a breakout season and will be one of the team’s top players to watch.

He averaged 25.0 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds in 73 games, getting named an All-Star for the first time.

Kings vs Jazz: What They’re Saying

“The reality of it is we’re competing for a championship. It’s as simple as that. … We’re already a good team. We’re already a playoff team, and so we’re competing for a championship just like everybody else. And the first thing that you have to do in order to attain anything in life is you have to believe in it. If you don’t believe in it, it ain’t going to happen.” — Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Brown.

“We have new pieces and new roles, and we are going to try and take this team at face value. But that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to go out there and try and win every night. We know this team will play hard and fight hard and compete.” — Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy.
