Boston Celtics Form
Boston head to Denver looking to bounce back from a weekend defeat that ended a three-game winning run.
The Celtics came up short on Christmas Day as they were beaten 118-114 at home by Philadelphia.
They rebounded to blow out Indiana at home, 142-105, only to then lose the rematch with the Pacers at TD Garden, 123-114.
Boston bounced back with a three-game winning run, following up a 125-71 demolition of a Toronto at home with road wins over Minnesota, 118-115, and Houston, 109-86.
The Celtics failed to make it four wins in a row though, as they were beaten 105-92 at Oklahoma City on Sunday.
Denver Nuggets Form
Denver enter this matchup looking to follow up on the weekend win in San Antonio; their fourth victory in their last five games.
The Nuggets endured a disappointing day as they lost 110-100 in Phoenix, and they then fell to a 149-135 defeat to Cleveland at home.
They ended 2024 in strong fashion though, following up a 134-121 win at home to Detroit with a 132-121 victory in Utah.
Denver then opened 2025 with a 139-120 victory over Atlanta, only to then lose 113-110 when they hosted San Antonio.
The Nuggets quickly avenged that loss though, heading out on the road to down the Spurs in overtime, 122-111.
Verdict
Boston have rarely covered on the road in recent weeks, and they are now facing Denver team who have had their number in recent meetings.
Jokic has been on a tear too in recent games, so gives us the Nuggets and the free buckets at home.
