Jazz vs Celtics Prediction

The Celtics are obviously the better team and should be favored, but this is a lot of points for a Boston side that’s lost 7 times on the road. The Jazz are coming off two straight big wins, and they’re at home, where they’ve seen 8 of their 12 wins come. The Jazz have been competitive at times this season, and they are a profitable 17-14 ATS on the season. The Jazz also beat the Celtics in early November on the road as a double-digit underdog. The Jazz aren’t getting much respect with this line. I’ll take a stab with the free buckets.
