Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics Prediction 11/3/2025 Today’s NBA Picks

The Utah Jazz invade the TD Garden to do battle with the Boston Celtics on Monday night. Here’s a Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics Prediction. This article will include a Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics Pick.

Utah Jazz Betting Preview 

The Utah Jazz have cooled off recently as they are now on a three-game losing streak after getting scorched by the Hornets in a 126-103 road defeat last night. Lauri Markkanen led the team in scoring with 29 points, seven rebounds and three assists, Keyonte George added 25 points with seven assists while Taylor Hendricks chipped in with 14 points, but no other player scored more than seven points.

As a team, the Jazz shot 40 percent from the field and seven of 32 from the 3-point line which was never going to be enough to keep pace with the Hornets who outscored them by 71-48 in the first half alone. Jusuf Nurkic had a quiet game of just three points on one of six shooting while Svi Mykhailiuk scored just three points with two assists in 29 minutes as a starter. 

Boston Celtics Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics were on a nice run as they were riding a three-game win streak before they got stopped in their tracks by the Rockets in a 128-101 home defeat on Saturday. Baylor Scheierman led the team in scoring with just 17 points off the bench, Payton Pritchard added 14 points while Josh Minott chipped in with 10 points. As a team, the Celtics shot just 38 percent from the field and 14 of 44 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Rockets from the start and were always fighting a losing battle after allowing 37 points in the first quarter.

The Celtics have been relying heavily on Jaylen Brown, but he had a quiet game of just 12 points in 22 minutes while Derrick White finished with just five points on two of 11 shooting from the field. This was never going to be enough to challenge the Rockets who shot over 54 percent from the field.

Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics Prediction

The Jazz are still missing Walker Kessler, Isaiah Collier and Georges Niang, while the Celtics are still playing without the injured Jayson Tatum. The Jazz have cooled off from their hot start to the season and they didn’t look great in a blowout loss to the struggling Hornets last night. Meanwhile, the Celtics were starting to heat up with three straight wins before they got trampled by the Rockets in their loss on Saturday.

The line is a bit hefty for this one, but the Celtics will want to bounce back after such a poor showing in their last game. I think they found an ideal opponent in the Jazz who are struggling on the road at the moment.
