The surprising Utah Jazz tonight go for their eighth straight ATS victory tonight when they host the Boston Celtics.

Utah are 11-8 SU this season and an amazing 15-3-1 ATS. They fell behind by 21 points against the Lakers last night before staging a great fightback and leading with less than a minute to play. The 94-92 loss was their seventh straight cover and tonight the Jazz return to the Delta Center where they have lost just once this season. They have won and covered five straight at home by an average of 10 points per game.

The Jazz are 6-1 ATS this season against teams with a losing record and 8-1 ATS against teams that score less than 92 points per game. Furthermore Utah are 19-10 the last three seasons against Atlantic division opponents while Boston are just 13-15 against the Midwest during the same period.

The Celtics are 8-12 SU and 9-11 ATS following last night's win at Denver as six point dogs. They may be a little fatigued tonight coming off that game at altitude which followed a difficult day of travel caused by bad weather. They have alternated home and away games on the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th of this month and now have to play the second of a back-to-back against a team whose starters saw limited minutes last night.

We'll go with a solid Western Conference team at home tonight against a mediocre Eastern Conference team.

Recommended Play: Utah Jazz -5.5
