This is an 8* on OVER

The Jazz’s first four games of March have been their worst stretch of basketball all season. They’ve lost three of them straight up while going 0-4 ATS. The only win was against a Houston team that has lost its last 16 games. Even worse is that in all three losses, they’ve surrendered 129 or more points. Those three losses all came on the road and tonight they are in Boston to play a Celtics team that has scored more than 130 in two of its last three contests. Now one of those was their own matchup with Houston. The other was the last time they played at home, when they beat Toronto. Utah has let four of its last six opponents shoot north of 51%. Golden State was above 56% in a 131-119 game Sunday. Boston shot 55% against Houston Sunday and was above 60% in that Toronto game. Unless the Jazz can pull off some sort of dramatic defensive improvement in 48 hours, we should be looking at a lot of points from the Celtics here. Utah has gone Over the last five times it has been a road favorite and they are favored here. The final score was 122-108 (Jazz won) when the teams played each other last month. Play on OVER
