The Celtics have been hot of late going 8-2 in their last 10 (4 in a row), but looked sluggish and disinterested in their last game against the Pistons. Meanwhile, the Jazz have really slowed down, losing each of their last 2 games (both on the road) and are only 5-5 in their last 10. It isn't like their are even losing to good teams (Wizards/Nets).
The Jazz are going to come out with something to prove, but after that lackluster performance last time out, so will the Celtics. Deron Williams is averaging 24.5 points and 10.5 assists over his last 4, but with Rondo on him I am not too nervous about him. Al Jefferson is quietly having a very nice season for himself (16.9 pts 8.8 rebs), but you wonder how good he will be with Garnett/Shaq on him.
What I am getting at here is that Celtics just matchup well against the Jazz, and that's why I see the Celtics winning easily.
Celtics win 105-93
Tommy Award: Ray Allen
Game starts at 7:30pm on Comcast
