Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs are set to play two 2019/20 NBA regular season matches between 07-13 August.
 
The Jazz, who have never won the NBA championship, will host Spurs at the Vivint Smart Home Arena on August 07.
 
They will then travel to the American Airlines Center where they are expected to take on Dallas Maverick on August 10.

The Jazz are placed fifth on the Western Conference standings behind Los Angeles side Clippers and Lakers, Denver Nuggets and Houston Rockets, who have all qualified for the playoffs.
 
However, the Jazz clinched a playoff berth for the fourth straight season in June 2020, after the NBA approved a plan to return to play with only 22 teams in late July.

On the other hand, Spurs will travel to the Toyota Center where they are scheduled to take on the Rockets on August 11 after facing Jazz on August 07.
 
The five-time NBA Championship winners still have a chance of reaching the playoffs despite having struggled in the current campaign recording 29 wins and they have currently placed ninth on the Western Conference standings

“It’s important,” Spurs guard Patty Mills said of trying to extend their current three-match winning streak when speaking on NBC Sports.
 
“It’s one element of the big picture of the San Antonio Spurs organization and how well the team has done over the course of a couple of decades. 
 
“But, at the same time, you got to look at the big picture, you got to look at the future and where we are at organization-wise in trying to bridge the gap between the success the Spurs have had and where that sees us in the future.”
