Boston, who currently trails Toronto by 1.5 games for the Atlantic Division lead and #2 seed in the East will likely be without All-Star point guard Kemba Walker again. Walker, Boston's leading scorer at 21.8 PPG has missed the recent road trip with a sore knee. Utah comes into the game on a 3 game losing streak - all 3 of which came at home. They're just 4-8 in their last 12 games.
