Boston Celtics
Delivering the Bucks’ most lopsided loss of the season will serve to add confidence to the Celtics who also gain the season tiebreaker between the clubs.
In spite of the thumping, Boston can’t read too much into the win because Milwaukee was playing the second game of a back-to-back set.
What Boston should be focusing on is how they allowed a Wizards team without Bradley Beal or Kyle Kuzma in the lineup to beat them by 19 points the game prior so instead of narrowing the gap to 1.5 games that loss equates to a 2.0 game lead for Milwaukee.

On the positive side, Boston claims the second-best point production averaging 118.3 points per game. In terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.6% from the field and 37.8% from the perimeter ranking 14th and sixth respectively.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
The copious injuries for the Jazz could just be bad timing – – OR — it could mean the front office is taking an overly cautious approach in order to drop into the lottery.
The latter might seem far-fetched but Danny Ainge didn’t tear the roster apart for the privilege of participating in a one-game play-in match. In contrast, the Celtics will attempt to win out and hope the Bucks lose two of their final five matches.
Although the Jazz are 10 games below .500 on the road they’re identity is to never give up and they have the rest advantage — so take the points.
