The Jazz will get two looks at Damian Lillard's Portland Trail Blazers this preseason.
The Blazers, http://www.nba.com/blazers/trail-blazers-announce-2016-nba-preseason-schedule";>who released their exhibition schedule on Monday, are slated to host the Jazz on Oct. 3. The Jazz will host Portland on Oct. 19 at Vivint Smart Home Arena.
For years, the Jazz's preseason slate has included the Los Angeles Lakers. But after spending a week in Hawaii with Kobe Bryant and company last fall, it appears the two teams are taking a break this season. L.A.'s preseason schedule, released earlier this year, doesn't include the Jazz at all.
