Boston Celtics vs. Utah Jazz Prediction

The Celtics are still a bit shorthanded with Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday both ruled out again, while the Jazz are again without Lauri Markkanen due to a quadriceps injury. The Celtics are coming in a little struggling and playing their second straight game, but they have been one of the hottest teams in the league while the Jazz have been ice cold of late. This seems like a dangerous spot for the Celtics, but I don’t think the Jazz are good enough to take advantage, so I’m sticking to the men in green to get the win and cover on the road.
