NBA odds makers at online sportsbooks currently have the Celtics listed as 12-point favorites in NBA predictions against the Jazz with the game's total sitting at 189. Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko had 23 points as the Jazz edged the New York Knicks 95-93 on Monday night for their first win in New York in the past five years. "I don't think I'd won here since I've been in a Jazz uniform," said Boozer, "It's good to get a win here."

Boozer also added 14 rebounds while point guard Deron Williams shot only 2-10 but made up for it with 16 assists. Not only was this the first win for Utah in New York, it was the first win for the team on the road all season.

The Celtics could not cover the 14-point spread in NBA predictions at online sportsbooks while the 162-points went UNDER the posted betting total of 179. Rajon Rondo tossed in 16-points with 8-for-11 shooting and 4 rebounds, Ray Allen scored eight points in the fourth quarter and Kevin Garnett had a rough time shooting going 3-13 for nine points but added 13 rebounds in the win. The Celtics are 7-1 straight up, 4-4 against the spread and NBA odds have Boston 8-2 after playing the Nets.

Bergen's NBA Predictions: This might be the biggest sucker game on the board but Utah is 5-1 against the spread in NBA odds for their last six games against Boston and the Celtics are only 4-4 ATS on the season. I know they are on the road by my NBA pick will be to take the Jazz on the road plus the points to the UNDER in a 2-team parlay. Vegas odds at the Hilton sportsbook have the Boston Celtics -12 in NBA basketball odds against the Utah Jazz with a total of 188.5.
