SALT LAKE CITY, Utah –Β The Utah Jazz have released the second half of their regular-season schedule.
After the early-March All-Star break, the Jazz will return to action on Sunday, March 12 against the Golden State Warriors in a Sunday afternoon game.
The Jazz will get a full eight-day break between the end of the first half of the regular season and the beginning of the second half of the year. Some teams return to action on March 10, giving the Jazz an extra two days off before returning to action.
The @utahjazz are lucky, they get the full All-Stark break off by not returning until March 12.
Some teams return on March 10.
The Jazz play their final game of the first half of the season on March 3, so that's a healthy break.

In total, the Jazz are set to play 37 games in the second half of the season, including a makeup game against the Washington Wizards on April 12 that was postponed in January.
The Jazz will have a heavier home than road schedule in the second half of the regular season. The team will have played 19 of their 36 road games before the All-Star break, leaving 20 home games and 17 home games left to play.
The team will play five sets of back-to-back games over the final stretch of the season but will have four opportunities for two-day rest periods between games over the final two months of the season.
