Celtics vs Jazz Prediction Today – Monday, November 3
The Celtics entered the season hoping to tread water as a top-5 East team, but they’re 3-4 and struggling to find consistency. Jaylen Brown is averaging 25.4 PPG and carrying the offensive load, but the supporting cast hasn’t been reliable enough.
The Jazz are 0-3 on the road this season and riding a three-game losing streak. They just got blown out 126-103 in Charlotte on Sunday, trailing 39-25 after the first quarter and watching it spiral from there.

Jazz Prediction and Preview Today
Lauri Markkanen is playing video game basketball right now. He’s averaging 33.8 PPG through six games, including 29 points with 7 rebounds against the Hornets. The Finnish star is unstoppable when he gets going, and Boston’s perimeter defenders in White and Brown are undersized for that matchup.
The problem for Utah? Everything else. They’re shooting 31.9% from three (3rd-worst in the NBA), allowing 121.2 PPG (25th in the league), and missing their starting center Walker Kessler (OUT – left shoulder). Kessler didn’t even make the trip to Charlotte—he flew back to Salt Lake City for further testing.
Add in Isaiah Collier (OUT – hamstring) and Georges Niang (OUT – foot), and you’ve got a Jazz roster that’s paper-thin on the road against a desperate Celtics team.
Celtics Prediction and Preview Today
The numbers say bounce-back spot at home after an embarrassing loss. The eye test says they’re running on fumes. Boston’s shooting just 32.6% from three without Tatum’s spacing, and their 111.6 PPG ranks 27th in the NBA.
I’m gravitating toward the Celtics to win this game—they’re still the better team at home—but laying 10.5 points feels like playing with fire given their recent form and schedule fatigue.
Celtics vs Jazz Injuries
Celtics:
OUT: Jayson Tatum (Achilles – season)
Jazz:
OUT: Walker Kessler (shoulder)
OUT: Isaiah Collier (hamstring)
OUT: Georges Niang (foot)
Both White and Pritchard were questionable Friday but played Saturday and are good to go. That’s critical depth for Boston.

There are plenty of Celtics vs Jazz props to choose from on Underdog for Monday. Let’s dive into the Boston vs Utah predictions!
Derrick White Props – Higher Than 19.5 Points
White has been shooting terribly from the floor, and I’m thinking positive regression has to hit sooner than later. He’s just 8-of-27 from the floor in his last two games.
The Celtics will continue to heavily rely on him regardless, as Tatum is out and Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are gone. White’s usage rate is 5% higher than last season, which is a good sign.
Although Utah is playing slower than they were last season, they’re still heavily flawed defensively. It’s a nice get-right spot for White.
