    Utah Jazz vs. Boston Celtics: A "Points Per Game" Prophecy  
By The Oracle of Over/Unders  
The Boston Celtics, fresh off a 27-point home loss to the Rockets, are here to prove theyâre not just a one-Jayson-Tatum show. The Utah Jazz, meanwhile, are the NBAâs version of a leaky faucetâstill dripping points, but not in a good way. Letâs cut to the chase: Lauri Markkanen is the star of this show, but not in the way he wants.
The Markkanen Malfunction  
Markkanen, the Jazzâs "human highlight reel," has been scoring like a man possessed this season (25.5 P/Under -109). But hereâs the rub: His 51-point explosion against the Suns was a statistical fluke, and his 28-shot, 29-point dud against the Hornets? A harbinger of regression. The Celticsâ elite 3-point defense (7th in makes/game) will smother him. Take the Under 25.5 points (-109)âMarkkanenâs about to go from popcorn kernel to sad, popped husk.
         
            
        
    
        Derrick Whiteâs Quiet Efficiency  
While Markkanen burns out, Derrick White (19.5 P/Under -115) will methodically pick apart the Jazzâs porous interior defense. Whiteâs 5.5 assists/game and the Celticsâ home-court dominance? A 20-point night feels likely.
        
    
        Team Total: A Celtics Cakewalk  
The Jazz rank 26th in defensive rating and 29th in 3P% allowed. Bostonâs 114.3 offensive rating? Itâll slice through Utahâs sieve like a hot knife through butter. Fade the Over 233.5 totalâthe Celtics will win by double digits, and the Jazz will look like theyâre playing 2K on "All-Star Difficulty."
        
    
        Why Itâs Happening  
- Celticsâ Health: Jayson Tatumâs back, and the roster is fully fit.  
- Jazzâs Youth: Ace Bailey and Keyonte George? Theyâre still figuring out how to tie their own shoes, let alone stop Bostonâs offense.  
- Home-Court Hysteria: TD Gardenâs crowd will chant âWE WANT JAE!â (for Jae Crowder, obviously).
        
    
        Final Score Prediction: Boston 122, Utah 101. Markkanen: 18 points, 6 rebounds. White: 21 points, 7 assists.
Prop Pick: Under 25.5 points for Markkanen (-109). The Jazzâs "stretch four" will be stretched thin.
Disclaimer: This prediction is 80% math, 20% Markkanenâs face when he realizes heâs being undered. đđ„
