There will certainly be a contrast in styles tonight in Boston. Boston has a deep roster, and Coach Stevens shuffles players in and out of a preferred fast tempo. Utah likes to play a half court game, and go deep into the shot clock, allowing their stingy defense to do the heavy lifting. the Jazz have not been successful on the road as a dog vs. a team that averages more than 105 points per game, where they have covered less than 40% on the season, and allow five ppg more than they have in the rest of their games. Boston is out-producing their season numbers as home chalk at 107 ppg. That becomes 109 ppg vs. an opponent on no rest. Give the points and take Boston.
