Celtics vs Jazz Over/Under Pick: Over 232½
The NBA over-under line is 232½, and we’re including the over in our selections.
In their first meeting, the Celtics won 126-97, and we expect more points from the Jazz this time around.
Boston doesn’t always need to score a big total to win, but the Celtics recently scored 138 and 140 points against the Mavericks and Warriors, respectively.
That’s enough for us to include the over with our sport betting picks.
Celtics vs Jazz ATS Pick: Celtics -7
The Celtics had a tough start to their road trip when losing to Cleveland and Denver, but they bounced back with wins over Phoenix and Portland.
They are playing much better than the Jazz, who have lost five of their last six games. The only win came against Washington, which doesn’t inspire confidence.
Despite the Jazz having a good ATS record at home, we find it tough to get behind them given their current form.
We would need a bigger spread to entertain their chances when betting online.
Celtics vs Jazz: Jaylen Brown Over 26½ Points (-113)
The BetUS sportsbook has prop bets for the Celtics-Jazz game, and we’re locking in Jalen Brown to score over 26½ points.
It’s a number he has achieved in his last three games, scoring 41 against the Nuggets and 27 points apiece against the Suns and Trail Blazers.
He is increasing his points average impressively, and Jayson Tatum has no problem stepping aside and letting Brown cook.
We expect another top performance from Brown, so lock in the NBA prop bet.
