NBA FREE PICK: Take Boston (-3.5). According to the latest NBA trends, the favorite is 4-0 against the spread in the last 4 meetings and the home team is 4-1 against the spread in the last 5 in this series. Boston is 5-0 against the spread in their last 5 home games, 5-0 against the spread in their last 5 games as a home favorite and 6-1 against the spread in their last 7 games as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5. Utah is 16-33 against the spread in their last 49 games following an ATS win, 3-7 against the spread in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and are 5-14-1 against the spread in their last 20 Wednesday games. Boston is coming off winning two straight games and has also won four of their last five games. Boston is second in the Atlantic Division, just a half game behind Philadelphia. So the third seed is possible for the Celtics who are allowing just 87.4 points per game in their last five games. Getting younger legs in the game with the likes of guard Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass hasn’t hurt. The Jazz struggled on the road normally and this is their third game of a four-game road trip. Paul Pierce, who scored 36 points in their last outing, should have another big game for the C’s.
