Advice and prediction

The Jazz are seeming to be more vulnerable than they were during their unbeatable runs in January and February, and are just 1-5 against the spread over their last six. The Celtics closed the first half of the season with four consecutive wins and just destroyed the overmatched Rockets, but have we seen enough from the Celtics to start backing them in these spots?

I haven’t, at least not yet. In fact, I’m avoiding this spread altogether (but am leaning Utah -4), and instead focusing on Over 227.5. Boston has gone over that total in six of their last seven games, while Utah has allowed 129 points or more in three of their last four games.

Prediction: Jazz 122, Celtics 117
