The Celtics are favored by 10 points against the Jazz. The Jazz allow 121.2 points per game, ranking them 25th in this category. The Celtics, with their strong defense, allow only 110.3 points per game, ranking 3rd. Given these stats, picking the Celtics to cover the -10 spread (-111) seems reasonable.
