Back-to-backs have not been kind to Jazz
Since getting a 138-134 overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 27, the Utah Jazz have lost their last three games. They lost a nail-biter 136-134 against Portland, but have since been blown out at Phoenix 118-96 and at Charlotte 126-103 yesterday. Tonight, the Jazz will face the challenge of playing their first back-to-back of the season. Last season, the Jazz were 3-11 straight up and 5-9 ATS when playing on the second day of a back-to-back.
In yesterday’s loss to Charlotte, the Jazz trailed by 14 after the first quarter and 71-48 at the half, never really making the game interesting.

Utah is 18th in the NBA in offensive rating and 22nd on defense. The team is led by Lauri Markkanen is currently fourth in the NBA, averaging 33 points per game, and dropped 29 in the loss to Charlotte. Keyonte George is averaging 21.8 ppg and 8.8 apg, and big man Walker Kessler averages 14.4 ppg and leads the team with 10.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per contest. Kessler did not play in the loss to the Hornets, and his status for tonight is up in the air.
Although he is not among the team leaders, rookie Ace Bailey is still adjusting to the NBA, averaging 4.7 points and 3.0 rebounds in just over 17 minutes per game this season.
Celtics working through adjustments
The Boston Celtics are working through changes, dealing with the offseason trades of Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday, along with the loss of Jayson Tatum, who is out for the season with an Achilles injury.
After seven games, Boston ranks 19th in the NBA in offensive rating and ninth in defense. Jaylen Brown has led the team with 25.4 points per game, followed by Derrick White (15 ppg) and Payton Pritchard (14.6 ppg). Neemias Queta, the team’s 7-foot straight center, is seeing the most substantial minutes of his career so far and averaging 8.3 points and a team-best 7.6 rebounds per game.
The Celtics opened the season with three straight losses, falling to the 76ers, Knicks, and Pistons before winning three straight against the Pelicans, Cavaliers, and 76ers. On Saturday, the Celtics did not respond well to playing on a back-to-back, as the Rockets came into Boston and hammered them 128-101.
Utah Jazz vs Boston Celtics Predictions
ATS Pick for Jazz vs. Celtics:
- Boston Celtics -10.5 (4 units)
The Boston Celtics have shown flashes of brilliance, as seen in their 125-105 win over Cleveland last week. Following a big NBA Cup victory on Halloween, Boston was in a tough spot playing a more rested Houston team the next night, and it showed. Now, the Celtics are the more rested team and face a Utah squad that was hammered the night before. The Jazz were also poor in back-to-backs last season and will likely be without their rim protector, Walker Kessler. The Celtics should be focused after being embarrassed at home by the Houston Rockets.
Total Pick for Jazz vs. Celtics:
- Under 232.5 (4 units)
Both teams rank in the bottom half of the NBA in offensive efficiency. The Celtics are 12th in pace, while Utah sits 25th. Expect Boston to control the game and slow the tempo in the fourth quarter with a large lead. The under is 3-0-1 in the last four head-to-head meetings. Take the under here.
