Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz Prediction: We favor the total and the Celtics to win

Prediction for the NBA Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz match will occur on March 11. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Boston Celtics

The Celtics played a classic game against the Los Angeles Lakers last night. Their opponents had been on a roll of late, winning eight games in a row before losing LeBron James to injury during the game. Joe Mazzulla's side took advantage and ran out 111-101 winners.

The win was Boston's fourth in a row. The Celtics had previously beaten Denver (110-103), Portland (128-118), and Philadelphia (123-105) on their home court. In all, the reigning champions have won 46 and lost 18 since the start of the season. Boston is second in the Eastern Conference behind Cleveland, who have already clinched a playoff spot.

Utah Jazz

The Jazz are on the verge of losing their theoretical chances of making the play-in. Will Hardy's side is now 15-49 and at the bottom of the Western Conference, with their season effectively over in a matter of days?

Utah is already without its top two scorers, Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson. The Jazz lost 122-126 on the road to Philadelphia last time and have now lost five in a row.

H2H Stats

The teams have yet to meet this season, but Boston has taken three of four from Utah in the last two championships.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite the absence of their leaders, Utah is almost always good in attack. Given the level of their opponents, it is unlikely that Boston will be focused on the court, so the game could turn out to be a high-scoring affair. As a result, we favor the total and the Celtics to win. There is simply no comparison between the quality of the opponents in this pairing.
