Jazz vs Celtics Match Prediction
The Utah Jazz is on a winning run and will be confident entering this game on the road. They currently rank first in terms of three-point shooting and have improved defensively as well during the last few games- giving them an added advantage.
The Celtics, on the other hand, are plagued by injuries and will miss the services of a few critical players. They beat the Jazz last month, but they might not have enough assets this time around to pull off another victory.
We are giving this one to the Utah Jazz by 3 points.
