Jazz Set for Home Opener Tonight vs. Blazers

After a three-game road trip to open the 2015-16 season, the Jazz will finally be back in Salt Lake City for their home opener when they host the Portland Trail Blazers tonight at Vivint Smart Home Arena.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. MT.

The Jazz enter the night with a 2-1 record (thanks to a last-minute loss to Detroit followed by dominant victories over Philadelphia and Indiana) while the Blazers are sitting at 2-2.

Utah has the top defense in the NBA, and it’s not even close. The Jazz are allowing only 79.7 points per game, while second-place San Antonio is nearly 10 points above that at 89.
