Boston Celtics at Denver Nuggets Preview & Picks

Boston are tipped to cover as a betting underdog when they visit out-of-form Denver.

The Celtics have been in excellent form since late January and they are boosted by the return of Jaylen Brown, who sat out last night’s win in Phoenix.

  • Boston Celtics are 9-1 in their last 10 games
  • Boston Celtics are 11-3-0 ATS in their last 14 road games
  • Denver Nuggets are 3-6 so far this month
  • The Under has cashed in 13 of Boston’s last 16 games
  • The Under has hit in each of the previous 3 meetings

Head To Head

  • Boston Celtics lead the all-time series 62-41
  • Denver Nuggets won 114-110 when the two teams last met on January 7

Boston Celtics Form

Boston head to Denver having recorded their ninth victory in their past 10 games just last night.

The Celtics began this great run when they responded to a 117-106 loss to Atlanta with home wins over Sacramento, 112-93, and Milwaukee, 107-79.

They built on that on the road, beating Dallas 110-100 and Houston 114-93, before heading back home to edge past Miami, 98-96.

Boston failed to make it six-in-a-row as they lost 111-89 at home to New York, but they have not been beaten since then.

The Celtics have followed up a 124-105 home win against Chicago with road wins at Golden State, 121-110, the Los Angeles Lakers, 111-89, and Phoenix, 111-89.

Denver Nuggets Form

Denver enter this matchup having been on a rough run in the month of February, losing six of their nine games so far.

The Nuggets ended January with back-to-back wins, but failed to build on that as they were beaten 121-111 at home by Oklahoma City.

They then went out on the road to lose 124-121 in Detroit and 134-127 at New York, before finally snapping their skid with a 136-120 victory in Chicago.

Denver then had to rebound from a 119-117 home loss to Cleveland with a 122-116 success against Memphis, only to lose 115-114 when they visited the LA Clippers.

The Nuggets responded with a 157-103 demolition of the Trail Blazers in Portland, but again failed to follow up a victory as they were beaten 128-117 at Golden State last time out.

Verdict

Denver are always a tough challenge on their home court, but Boston arrive with plenty of confidence thanks to an excellent run of form.

Denver have been struggling for consistency too, so give us the Celtics and the free points.
