The Boston Celtics will host the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden for one of the highly anticipated clashes from Saturday’s slate.
On Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics picked up an impressive home victory over the Denver Nuggets despite playing without both Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. The win brought the Celtics’ rare two-game losing skid to a halt and gave them a boost of confidence as the season approaches its final stretch.
The Celtics could be without three starters on Sunday afternoon as they host the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden. Jaylen Brown is back on the team’s injury report after scoring 37 points in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers. He’s listed as questionable with right knee pain. Brown also missed Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons with thigh soreness.
With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jrue Holiday (finger) sidelined, Horford fared well in the starting lineup alongside Luke Kornet. The Celtics have a back-to-back set coming up Wednesday against Portland and Thursday versus the 76ers, so fantasy managers can anticipate a maintenance day for one of those games.
Our NBA betting picks believe the Nuggets are in prime position to avenge a head-to-head loss to the Celtics from earlier this year when the teams collide in Boston this afternoon.
