After a dazzling 120-100 win in Portland to open the season, the Utah Jazz (1-0) are looking to keep the momentum up back at home. The home opener will certainly feel different than it normally would have, given the minimal fan attendance. The Jazz will have to motivate themselves, rather than relying on the energy from the Utah crowd.
The Minnesota Timberwolves (1-0) are coming off a crunch time win over the Detroit Pistons on their home court on Wednesday. Behind the impressive all-around play of Karl-Anthony Towns, a stong NBA debut by Anthony Edwards, and the late clutch shooting of Malik Beasley, the Wolves were able to pull off a 4th quarter comeback and win their season opener.
