The Utah Jazz head into their New Year’s Eve clash with momentum, having stunned Detroit and San Antonio in back-to-back wins while pouring in 127-plus points each night. Lauri Markkanen and rookie guard Keyonte George combined for 59 points across the weekend, with the bench providing a crucial spark.

Now at 12-19, Utah welcomes the Boston Celtics, who sit third in the East behind Jaylen Brown’s 29.7 points per game and a top-four offense. With both teams leaning heavily on the three-point shot and defenses funneling attempts away from the rim, Tuesday’s matchup could hinge on whichever side finds rhythm from deep.
