KEY GAME INFORMATION
UTAH: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost in Western Conference semifinals
COACH: Quin Snyder (fifth season)
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Ricky Rubio (13.1 ppg), G Donovan Mitchell (20.5 ppg), F Joe Ingles (11.5 ppg), F Derrick Favors (12.3 ppg), C Rudy Gobert (13.5 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: F Jonas Jerebko
KEY ADDITIONS: G Grayson Allen PLAYER TO WATCH: Mitchell. His emergence keyed Utah's dominant run to close out the regular season a year ago. Can Mitchell continue to elevate his game in his sophomore NBA season? His rookie season exceeded all expectations as he carved an identity as an electrifying scorer. The Jazz benefited from his scoring punch late in games. Mitchell finished the season averaging 20.5 points while shooting 43.7 percent from the field.
OUTLOOK: Utah appeared headed for the lottery until putting together a dramatic turnaround over the final 35 games last season. With all of last season's key players back in place, the Jazz are counting on continuity and chemistry to help them become a serious postseason threat among Western Conference teams in 2018-19.
SACRAMENTO: LAST SEASON: 27-55, missed playoffs.
COACH: Dave Joerger (third season, sixth NBA season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G De'Aaron Fox (11.6 ppg), G Buddy Hield (13.5 ppg), F Justin Jackson (6.7 ppg), F Marvin Bagley III (rookie, Duke), C Willie Cauley-Stein (12.8 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: G George Hill, F Garrett Temple, G Vince Coleman
KEY ADDITIONS: Bagley, G Ben McLemore, F Nemanja Bjelica
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Joerger declared Fox to be Sacramento's franchise player and is building the offense around the young point guard. Fox had flashes of brilliance during an up-and-down rookie season but has more scoring help around him this year. Bagley is the wild card who will start at power forward and may see significant time in the post when the Kings go with a smaller lineup.
OUTLOOK: The Kings have a lot of work to do to end their 12-year postseason drought. There are question marks across the board, specifically regarding defense and rebounding. Hield and McLemore will split time in the backcourt alongside Fox until Bogdan Bogdanovic returns from a pair of offseason knee surgeries but the key will be down low. Bagley provides a little more scoring which should help offset Cauley-Stein's inconsistencies.
PREVIEW
Jazz ready to launch season at Kings
 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A season of high hopes tips off at a site of far lesser expectations when the Utah Jazz visit the Sacramento Kings to open the NBA season on Wednesday night.

Utah made only cosmetic changes to a team that was the hottest in the NBA in the second half of last season, winning 29 of its final 35 regular-season games before eliminating Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs.

A team built on consistency and continuity under Quin Snyder once again will count upon a mix of second-year offensive standout Donovan Mitchell and perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate Rudy Gobert.

The difference this season, veteran Joe Inglis noted, is that the 19-28 club that snuck up on people late last season will not be welcomed guests this time around.

"We were going into places, and teams were probably either not worried about us or weren't too concerned," he observed. "We know we're gonna be scouted. We know Donovan's gonna be scouted better. If we're prepared, I think we'll be fine."

Mitchell was a one-man wrecking crew against the Kings last season, scoring 28, 27 and 34 points in a 3-0 season-series sweep. Despite the fact that he missed 16 of his 23 3-point attempts, he still managed to shoot 32-for-55 (58.2 percent).

The Jazz lost to Houston in the Western semifinals last season after finishing tied for second in the highly competitive Northwest Division, in which only three games separated first from fifth place.

The opener will serve as a Duke reunion for two of the Blue Devils' top players last season -- swingman Grayson Allen and center Marvin Bagley III.

Allen was the Jazz's third-leading scorer in the preseason with 65 points in five games. He shot well both from beyond the 3-point arc (13-for-25, 52.0 percent) and overall (51.1 percent).

Meanwhile, Bagley, the No. 2 overall pick of the draft, led the Kings in rebounding in the preseason with 41 in six games. He ranked third in the league in offensive rebounds with 18, trailing only established NBA rebounding standouts Andre Drummond (26) and Steven Adams (21).

"In college, I was on the boards all the time," Bagley recalled recently of his one and only season at Duke, when he averaged 11.1 rebounds per game. "Now I'm getting comfortable searching for the ball and picking my spots. Same cycle, same process I had to go through when I got to school at Duke -- just figuring out on the court where I should get to for offensive or defensive rebounds. I'm starting to get it."

Bagley joins a Kings team picked by many once again to finish among the league's biggest losers. They haven't made the playoffs since 2006, losing 50 or more games five of the last six seasons, including 55 last year.

Sacramento again will have one of the youngest teams in the NBA, with recent former college standouts Buddy Hield, De'Aaron Fox, Justin Jackson and Frank Mason III among the regulars surrounding Bagley.
