The Oklahoma City Thunder will travel on the road to face the Utah Jazz on Friday. It's the first matchup of the season between the two squads. This is also a 2025 NBA Cup West Group A group play.

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant is cleared to play against the Utah Jazz. Morant missed 10 games due to a right calf strain. He will have his minutes allocated carefully in his first game back.

The Mavericks-Jazz clash is set to tip off at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT). The live telecast will be available on KFAA Channel 29. Fans can watch the contest via livestream on NBA League Pass and Fubo TV (restrictions may apply).
