Boston Celtics vs Utah Jazz Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 30, 2025

When Utah and Boston met earlier this season on November 3rd, their combined total sat at just 208—a defensive grind that suggested these teams could coexist in a lower-scoring framework. This rematch told a very different story. The Celtics' road defense (109.0 allowed per game over their last 10) proved porous against Utah's offensive firepower, while the Jazz's leaky defense (132.2 allowed per 10-game stretch) crumbled in the third quarter, where 72 combined points spilled across the floor in a single period. Boston won 129–119, with the combined 248 punching through the 243.5 market total to cash an OVER by 4.5 points—a result that left DAGGER's pregame UNDER call in the dust.

Keyonte George paced Utah with 37 points and 7 assists, while Jusuf Nurkić added 26 points and 8 rebounds in support. But Boston's depth proved decisive: Derrick White posted 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and Jaylen Brown chipped in 23 points with 10 assists. The first half stayed relatively controlled at 123 combined, yet the game exploded after the break. That third-quarter eruption—72 combined points—overwhelmed Utah's defense and essentially decided the spread, with Boston's fourth-quarter discipline (30 points) closing out a double-digit road victory that defied the softer defensive expectations set by their earlier November encounter.
