Utah Jazz Betting Preview
The Utah Jazz have continued their poor form as they've lost 12 of their last 15 games overall. They will be hoping to put an end to a five-game losing streak after falling just short to the struggling 76ers in a 126-122 road defeat last night. Kyle Filipowski and Keyonte George led the team with 25 points each, Johnny Juzang added 15 points while Isaiah Collier chipped in with 13 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Jazz shot just 41 percent from the field and 18 of 46 from the 3-point line as they looked great when they opened the game with a 32-16 run. But they went cold and just left themselves too much ground to make up after allowing 36 points in the third quarter to trail by as many as 22 points.
Boston Celtics Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics have been in red-hot form as they've won 14 of their last 17 games overall and they will be gunning for a fifth straight victory after beating the Lakers in a 111-101 home win on Saturday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 40 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists, Jaylen Brown added 31 points on 13 of 25 shooting while Al Horford chipped in with 14 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Celtics shot 47 percent from the field and 13 of 38 from the 3-point line as they worked hard just to take a narrow lead into halftime. Before they played excellent defense in the third quarter where they held the Lakers to just 13 points to lead by as many as 22 points. The Lakers did rally to cut the margin to single digits, but the Celtics had the answers down the stretch to grab the solid home win.

Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics Prediction
The Jazz are still missing a host of players including Collin Sexton, John Collins, and Lauri Markkanen, while the Celtics are keeping an eye on Al Horford and Jayson Tatum who are both questionable for this one. The Jazz are coming into this meeting in terrible form, and they must be low on confidence after last night's loss to the slumping 76ers who are missing all their best players. The Celtics were always going to be heavy favorites in this one as they are arguably the hottest team in the league after beating the Thunder and I think they make mince meat of this line.
