Why Bet on Utah Jazz?

The C’s were missing rotation players Jaylen Brown (back), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) but shot so well it didn’t matter much.

Jordan Clarkson sparked an 11-3 run in the third quarter to draw the Jazz within two after trailing by double-digits much of the game. But the Celtics responded with 20 straight points. Jrue Holiday made back-to-back 3-pointers to extend their lead to 113-91 with 6:28 to play. The Jazz played without leading scorer Lauri Markkanen (thigh) and Taylor Hendricks (toe).

It’s possible both return for this one as both practiced some on Wednesday. Markkanen (23.1 PPG) has missed four straight. His 3.22 3-point makes per game so far this season also would stand as the third-most 3-point makes per game in Jazz history for a full season. Meanwhile, during the 10 games this season in which he has played 20 or more minutes, the rookie Hendricks has averaged 9.2 points and 5.8 rebounds in 25.4 minutes.

Clarkson had 21 points off the bench but missed practice Wednesday with a groin injury so he’s in question. Rookie Keyonte George was a bright spot in the loss with 26 points and six assists. The former Baylor star has connected on five or more threes in three of his last four contests, scoring north of 25 points in all three of those outings. He has also distributed at least six assists in two straight contests. George is averaging 21.9 points and 6.1 assists over his last eight full games while shooting .466 from 3-point range during that stretch, having made 34 of his last 73 attempts from beyond the arc.
