Prediction

We have a good one to cap off the NBA Saturday Slate between two teams both needing to get a win for their playoff aspirations, but for different reasons.

The Celtics are currently 2nd in the East and only 1.5 games back from the top seed Bucks. Boston has won 2 in a row and will look to make it 3 tonight against this Jazz team, looking to stay alive in the West.

The Jazz are sitting 11th in the West right now, but only 2 games separate them and the 6th place Mavericks.

It is all left to play for in Utah and the Jazz will do everything they can tonight to pick up another big win and push towards that all-coveted playoff spot.

The Jazz just lost a close one to the Heat last game and will look to pick up a big home win tonight against another powerhouse in the Celtics.

I am going to lay off of a side in this one and roll with the over in this matchup.

The Jazz have gone over the total in 5 straight games and while the Celtics have only gone over in 2 of their last 5, I fully expect the Celtics to keep up with the Jazz fast pace and scoring.

Player Prop of the Game

Talen Horton Tucker o4.5 Assists (-150) BetOnline

Let’s cap this off with THT who has been facilitating like crazy.

Horton-Tucker has 5+ assists in 4 of his last 6 games and 3 in a row. With Jordan Clarkson sidelined and likely out tonight, THT is the main ball handler in this offense.

THT has 8+ assists in his last 3 games and I expect plenty of chances again tonight, and I love the 6+ assists for the plus money value.

Bonus: Horton-Tucker 6+ assists (+100)
