Utah at Boston

Utah lost by 50 points at Dallas and then stayed close at Philadelphia before succumbing again 113-107, and now the Jazz has to play its third road game in four nights. Boston has won two straight following its 123-116 overtime victory over Toronto last night as Kyrie Irving had a season-high 43 points, scoring 17 in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter. Jayson Tatum added 21 points for the Celtics, who are looking to avenge an earlier loss at Utah on Nov. 9.  The Celtics have covered four of the last six meetings, and they have the big edge defensively allowing 43.2 percent shooting compared to 47.9 for Utah. The Jazz is 1-6-2 ATS the last nine meetings at Boston and 4-10-2 the last 16 meetings overall. Also, the Jazz is 1-6 ATS its last seven games playing on no rest. Play the Celtics.
