This season, the Utah Jazz hold a record of 12 wins and 19 losses, placing them 11th in the Western Conference. Their home win rate is 40% (8 wins, 10 losses). Despite recent fluctuations with a 2-3 record in their last 5 games, they remain competitive at home. The Jazz's offensive capabilities are significant, averaging 120.5 points per game. Lauri Markkanen's scoring of 27.9 points per game is a key offensive driver. However, injuries are a concern, with key players like centre Walker Kessler (averaging 10.8 rebounds) and forward Niang sidelined, impacting their interior defence and rebounding. The Boston Celtics are positioned third in the Eastern Conference with a 19-12 record. They've displayed strong recent form, with an 8-2 record in their last 10 games and a 60% win rate on the road (9 wins, 6 losses). The Jazz score an average of 120.5 points per game, exceeding the Celtics' 116.5 points. They showcase excellent ball movement with 30.3 assists per game, alongside a 36.6% three-point shooting percentage. Although the Celtics score slightly fewer points, their offensive efficiency is more stable, with Jaylen Brown's individual drives and Pritchard's (averaging 5.2 assists) playmaking compensating for the absence of Tatum. Defensively, the Celtics have an edge, averaging 5.3 blocks per game, significantly more than the Jazz's 3.5. Their defensive efficiency ranks among the league's best, and they've conceded 18.2 fewer points per game than the Jazz in their last 5 games. The Jazz's interior defence has weakened due to Kessler's absence, resulting in 124.6 points conceded per game over their last 5 outings, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. Recommendation: Over 240.5
