Our Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets Prediction

Boston is nearly a double-digit favorite in this game; however, Denver looks to be the best betting option. The Nuggets have struggled recently, having gone 4-6 in their last 10 games. That said, over their last four games, they have gone 2-2, and these were the games without their star player, Nikola Jokic. 

Boston, on the other hand, has been streaking in a positive way. The Celtics are 8-2 over their last 10 games and 4-0 over their last four games. Further, the Celtics are 11-5 at home this season, while the Nuggets are 14-7 on the road.

Not having Jokic is going to continue to hamper the Nuggets; however, in their two losses without him, they have lost by an average margin of 8.5 points per game. Denver still has a solid lineup; therefore, our Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets prediction is: Denver Nuggets +9.5.

Prediction:

 

Denver Nuggets +9.5
