The surging Boston Celtics, winners of 14 of their last 17 games and fresh off a dominant victory over the Lakers, welcome a depleted Utah Jazz squad that's reeling from five straight losses and playing the second night of a back-to-back.

While Jayson Tatum continues his MVP-caliber season averaging 27.2 points and nearly 9 rebounds per game, the Jazz will need to overcome potential absences of key players Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson if they hope to compete with the East's top team.

The Boston Celtics host the Utah Jazz at TD Garden in what marks the first meeting between these teams this season, with the all-time series deadlocked at 5-5 over their last ten matchups.

Boston Celtics vs. Utah Jazz preview

The red-hot Celtics welcome a struggling Jazz squad to TD Garden tonight in what's shaping up to be a classic David vs. Goliath matchup.

Boston's dynamic duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have been absolutely cooking lately, with Tatum dropping 40 points against the Lakers and Brown chipping in 31 in their last outing.

The Jazz, playing their second game in as many nights, will need their young guns Keyonte George and Kyle Filipowski to replicate their 25-point performances from last night's close loss to Philly.

While Boston's looking to extend their impressive four-game win streak, Utah's been in a real rough patch, dropping 12 of their last 15 games and struggling mightily on defense.

The C's home court advantage has been no joke - they've won their last 10 games against teams on back-to-backs at TD Garden, and their league-leading perimeter shooting could spell trouble for Utah's 28th-ranked three-point defense.

Keep an eye on Al Horford, who's been quietly effective with his veteran presence, putting up 14 points and 9 boards in their last win.

The injury bug might play a factor tonight - Utah's missing several key pieces with Markkanen, Collins, and Sexton all questionable, while Boston's monitoring Porzingis who's dealing with an illness.

Given Boston's dominant home form and Utah's defensive struggles, this one could get ugly fast for the visiting Jazz.
