Boston Celtics (42-18) will host Denver Nuggets (39-21) in an exciting cross-conference matchup at the TD Garden on Sunday evening. The Celtics, who are second in the Eastern Conference, are on a two-game slide after losing to the Pistons and the Cavaliers. The 116-123 loss to the Cavs was especially painful to stomach after the conference leaders rallied from a 22-point deficit to stun the defending champions on Friday night. This result now means Boston trails the Cavs by 7.5 games, and they’ll need an immediate response against the Nuggets. However, the Nuggets are also enjoying a stellar campaign in the Eastern Conference, and they won’t make it easy for Boston. They defeated the Pistons 119-134 on Saturday night to move to the second spot in the standings, 9.5 games behind the Thunder. Initially, they had lost to the Bucks 121-112. Denver is one of the most in-form teams, and they’ll have the Thunder on the sights, especially if they beat Boston.

Our Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets Prediction
Boston has looked vulnerable at home lately, and the result against the Cavs was their first back-to-back loss this season. Joe Mazzulla’s men will be keen to avoid another defeat lest critics start questioning their ability to defend the title. They have not been to their usual standards, especially in attack, where they rank sixth with an average of 116.9 PPG. The Nuggets have outperformed them, averaging 121.4 PPG. Boston enters this matchup with a superior head-to-head record of 3-1 in the last four meetings and a similar record at the TD Garden. They also covered the spread in three of their previous four meetings. We think they’ll bounce back with a win here. Our prediction for Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets: Boston Celtics to cover -2.5 spread.
