What you need to know about the Celtics

Boston returns home after sweeping a four-game road trip against Western Conference opponents. The Celtics beat the Warriors, Kings and Nuggets by 20-plus points before adding a 132-123 win over Oklahoma City on Monday. They are suddenly just 2.5 games back of Miami in the Eastern Conference standings. 

Small forward Jayson Tatum leads Boston with 27 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, while running mate Jaylen Brown is adding 23.2 points. They have each scored at least 25 points in four straight games, leading to Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors for Tatum. The Celtics are 17-3 in their last 20 games. 

What you need to know about the Jazz

Utah will be on the road for the third game of a six-game road trip. The Jazz opened the trip with a win over New York, but they came up short against Brooklyn on Monday night. They were down by 21 points with six minutes to play against the Nets before Donovan Mitchell scored 10 points in the next five minutes to make the game competitive down the stretch. 

Mitchell has now reached the 30-point mark in two straight games after he poured in 36 points against the Knicks. Small forward Bojan Bogdanovic is the team’s second-leading scorer, but he is going to miss this game due to a wrist injury. The Jazz have covered the spread in five of their last seven games against Boston.
