No. 4: Toronto Raptors vs Utah Jazz, March 19

The Jazz are currently the best team in the league, a fact that would’ve been startling to fans who assumed the two LA teams would battle for Western supremacy. They are 27-7 right now, and Donovan Mitchell is on an absolute tear right now.

Last year, they were figuring the team out. Once Mike Conley returned to his Memphis form and the team retained most of their free agents while adding Derrick Favors, this team shot right to the top of the league.

The Raptors can test themselves against the Jazz

The reason why this game is on the list is that it a good test for the Raptors to face the best team right now. Last year, Toronto beat Utah 130-110 and 101-92. Siakam was the best player in both of those contests, totaling 62 points in the two victories. This team, however, won’t be as easy to defeat.

They are playing each other twice this year. The first game is in March 19 and the second game is in May. 1. The first game is the better watch because this will be the first time both teams are playing each other.
