Boston will travel to face Denver in this inter-conference NBA clash at Ball Arena on Wednesday evening. The Celtics are second in the East at 38–19 on the season, while the Nuggets are fourth in the Western Conference at 36–22. Check out our prediction for the game below. 

The Denver Nuggets come into this fixture with a patchy run of results lately. They fell by 11 points, losing 128–117 to the Golden State Warriors last time out. That defeat marked their third in five games and sixth in nine fixtures overall. 

The 2023 champions have struggled in their past five encounters against the Boston Celtics, losing four. They have fallen below expectations as home favourites lately, failing to cover the spread in eight of their last 11 games in such situations. 

The Boston Celtics are in red-hot form coming into this clash. They defeated the Phoenix Suns 97–81 away in their last game to secure their fourth consecutive victory and ninth in 10 games overall. This includes a remarkable 5–0 record in their last five away fixtures. 

The 2024 champions hold a solid 20–10 record against the spread on the road this season. Additionally, they have consistently beaten bookmakers’ expectations when priced as underdogs on the road, posting a remarkable 7–0 ATS record in their last seven games in such situations.
