The Grizzlies will kick off the new NBA season by hosting the Utah Jazz at home in Memphis, TN, at the FedExForum. Game time is scheduled for 8 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by NBA League Pass.
Memphis comes into the season in rebuild mode after moving on from Ja Morant and Walker Kessler. The roster will certainly be different, as the team focused on going younger in the offseason. Rookie Cameron Boozer is expected to contribute right away and become the cornerstone of the team. They also acquired Jerami Grant and Kris Murray from Portland, Isaiah Stewart from Detroit, and drafted Karim Lopez. With Cedric Coward, Jaren Jackson, and Zach Edey, head coach Tuomas Iisalo has a talented group to build around.
As for Utah, there may be a little more buzz around the Jazz despite winning just 22 games last season—pretty much because of the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft, Daryn Peterson. Overall, the Jazz did a great job of addressing deficiencies in the offseason (i.e., perimeter defense, rim protection, offensive creation, etc.). But the challenge will be for head coach Tuomas Iisalo to get so many new parts on the same page quickly.

Our Memphis Grizzlies vs Utah Jazz Prediction
If this game were in the second half of the season, I may be more inclined to think differently. But in the first game of the season for both teams, I don’t have much hope for a Memphis team stacked with new moving parts. It is highly unlikely they’ll click as well as a team should. As for Utah, while the Jazz also have plenty of new parts, they looked good in the preseason and may be a little further along in developing chemistry. Because of that, I’m taking Utah to win.
