The Utah Jazz are set to host the Boston Celtics in their final home game of 2025. The Jazz are coming off a 127-114 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, a performance that saw Lauri Markkanen score 29 points and Keyonte George contribute 28 points. However, George is listed as questionable due to illness, and Kevin Love will be resting. Additionally, the team is without Bailey and Joe Ingles, who are injured. The Jazz have averaged 126.7 points at home this season but have conceded 129.5 points on average. Keyonte George, the team's key player, averages 24.2 points and 6.8 assists per game; his absence would likely impact their offensive organisation. Considering Love's rest and the absence of a game the next day, it may indicate that the team is trying to 'tank'. The Jazz hold a home record of 8 wins and 10 losses, with a 1-3 record in their last four home games. The Boston Celtics, on the other hand, recently lost 108-114 to the Portland Trail Blazers, with Jayson Tatum's 37 points not enough to secure a win. The Celtics struggled from beyond the arc, shooting only 29.5% from three-pointers. With the absence of Robert Williams, the Celtics will be looking to bounce back. The Celtics have shown strong resilience in recent games, with only one instance of consecutive losses in their last 23 regular-season games and no consecutive losses in their last 14 away games. The Celtics are favored with a 7.5-point spread, mirroring their previous matchup against the Indiana Pacers, where they won by a significant margin. The Celtics -8.
