The Boston Celtics will welcome the Utah Jazz for a NBA 2025-26 regular season clash on Monday, November 3 at TD Garden. The hosts, Celtics, will appear in the game on the back of a blowout loss to the Houston Rockets. The game saw poor offensive prowess from the Celtics, who headed into the season as reigning Eastern Conference semifinalists. The defeat pushed their tally to 3-4, and they are currently seeking a win that would push them to .500 in the standings.

The Utah Jazz, on the other hand, continue to have a poor campaign in the ongoing season as well. After finishing the previous season in the bottom of the standings with the fewest wins, the Jazz were hoping for things to get better for them in the new NBA year. A revamped Jazz squad is finding it difficult to gel along and make collective efforts to push the side on the opposite side of the victory line. However, their inconsistency is making it hard for them to sail through on-court challenges.

Currently, they are on a three-game losing streak, and are in dire need of adding more victories to their tally which will push them towards the top in the standings.

Here is an injury report accounting for the absentees in the upcoming game as well as expected starting lineups for both the teams.
