Per one formula, the 2021-22 Utah Jazz schedule is relatively trouble-free.
Should the Utah Jazz fail to repeat as regular-season champs this season, they shouldn’t have the schedule-makers to blame.
No, of all 30 team schedules that the NBA released on Friday for the league’s 75th anniversary season, the 2021-22 Jazz slate may be the most conducive to a top-tier finish in the standings. At least that’s how it appears in the eyes of the Positive Residual calculation, which factors rest advantages and disadvantages against all opponents, plus travel distances, altitude, etc.
