Boston Celtics – Statistics & current form
The team of Head Coach Ime Udoka has already had to wait for four duels with the franchise from Salt Lake City for the next victory. In the last direct duel last December, the Snyder squad won by a narrow 137-130 margin.
However, the most points in the game were scored by a Boston player. Unsurprisingly, it was Jayson Tatum, who has been playing extremely well all season. This month he has even stepped it up a notch: His monthly scoring value is a whopping 34.2 points!
Utah Jazz – Statistics & current form
The basketballers from the Mormon State have been slipping away from home lately: While their win percentage in away games is still a respectable 54.3 percent, only two of their last six away games have ended in success.
The most recent away game at the Nets in Brooklyn also ended in defeat. However, Donovan Mitchell, who scored 30 points at the Barclays Center and thus completed his third game in a row with at least this number of points, is in good form.
Bojan Bogdanovic, however, will not be able to play. The small forward is suffering from a hip injury and his absence hurts Utah, as the 32-year-old is the second-leading scorer after “Spida”, averaging 18.1 points per game on the visitors’ side.
Boston Celtics – Utah Jazz Tip
Boston has the best defence and Utah has the best offence in the NBA. The visitors have also won the last four meetings with the record champions and have not lost away from home in this pairing for more than five years (4-0)!
For the clash between the Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz, however, the predictions now include a home win with at least a five-point difference. The hosts can be described as the team of the hour in the NBA and are currently acting very strong.
The visitors have to do without a very important player in Bojan Bogdanovic and have lost a lot of ground away from home: They could only win one of their last four matches.
The Bostonians will also be very motivated, as the aforementioned series of home defeats against the Jazz should finally come to an end in their eyes. Unibet offers odds of 1.81 on the Celtics and Jazz clash
