Denver Nuggets Form

Denver head to Boston looking to bounce back from a loss and start their first win streak of the year.

The Nuggets went on a run of six straight wins in late December, before wrapping up 2023 with a 119-93 defeat to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And although they started 2024 with back-to-back wins, beating Charlotte 111-93 and Golden State 130-127, they have struggled for consistency in recent weeks.

Denver had to bounce back from a 122-120 loss to Orlando with a 131-114 victory over Detroit, and then responded to a 124-111 loss in Utah with a 125-113 win over New Orleans and a 117-109 victory against Indiana.

The Nuggets failed to make it three wins in a row though, as they were beaten 126-121 in Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

Boston Celtics Form

Boston enter this matchup on a three-game win streak and having won six of their first nine games of 2024.

The Celtics ended 2023 with a six-game win streak, and although they have dropped a few games in recent weeks, they remain in good form.

They started 2024 with a 127-123 loss to Oklahoma City, but rebounded immediately to beat Utah 126-97 and Indiana 118-101.

Boston then sandwiched a 127-120 overtime victory against Minnesota with a 133-131 loss to Indiana and a 135-102 defeat to Milwaukee.

The Celtics have not lost since though, backing up a 145-113 win against Houston with a 105-96 victory over Toronto and a 117-98 success against San Antonio.

Verdict

Boston have been flawless at home this season and are backed to maintain their perfect record against a Denver team who are hit or miss on the road.
