Jazz vs. Celtics Game Info
Utah Jazz (28-10, 12-8 Away) vs. Boston Celtics (20-18, 12-5 Home)
Date: Tuesday, March 16, 2021
Time: 7:30 p.m. EST
Venue: TD Garden — Boston, Mass.
Coverage: TNT
The Jazz were the hottest, most dominant team during the first half of the season. However, they have now lost four of the last six games. They are also inching toward .500 on the road, which is not a record a contender can have. All five of their previous losses have come on the road, totaling a 1-5 record on the road during this span. Last game was a blowout loss to the Warriors, but offense wasn’t an issue for Utah. Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell tied for the most points on the team with 24, while Mike Conley scored 23 and Jordan Clarkson scored 21.
After going on a massive slump during the majority of February, the Celtics have won five of their last six games. A big reason for this is the team getting healthier. Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker look to be fully healthy, and Marcus Smart has returned to the rotation. Robert Williams is also finally getting more minutes for Boston. He has averaged 20.3 over the four March games thus far. In this limited floor time, Williams has averaged 10.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 3.8 blocks. He is a dominating force down low.

Jazz vs. Celtics NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s Jazz – Celtics game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at BetMGM in the form of an over 228.5 (-110) ticket. On the contrary, those looking to bet the Jazz – Celtics total under should aim to do so at PointsBet, with a line of 228.5 (-105).
Jazz vs. Celtics Prediction
The teams should be a full strength, which seems like a rarity nowadays. With Williams establishing his presence a little more on this Boston team, and with the backcourt getting healthier, I actually like how they match up with Utah. Slowing down Mitchell could still be an issue, but I think Tatum will have a big game in an outright Celtics win.
Prediction: Celtics +4
