Jayson Tatum is averaging 30.1 points and 9 rebounds, while Jaylen Brown is averaging 26.8 points and 3.3 assists.

Lauri Markkanen is averaging 25.2 points and 8.6 rebounds, while Jordan Clarkson is averaging 20.8 points and 4 rebounds.

The Celtics are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Jazz are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The over is 9-4 in Celtics last 13 overall. The over is 5-0-1 in Jazz last 6 overall. The over is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Utah.

The Boston Celtics obviously have the ability to blow the doors off, but they're also on the end of a back to back and are dealing with injuries to role players. The Utah Jazz are at home, have the rest advantage, and are still a respectable team that competes and loses as underdogs by an average of 1.8 points. Also, the Jazz needs to win games if they're going to sneak into the play-in tournament. We're getting 6 points. The disrespect. Give me the Jazz.
