Denver Nuggets vs Boston Celtics prediction
The Denver Nuggets and free points are hard to turn down given what they’re capable of, but they have been going through the motions lately. The Nuggets lost to the Magic, Jazz and 76ers lately while also struggling to put other teams away at times. The Nuggets are 11-10 SU on the road. The Boston Celtics are undefeated at home, they’ve covered three straight games overall, and they have these games where they just exploded when they feel like it. Feels like a statement game for the leprechauns while the Nuggets continue to pick their spots, it feels like. I’ll lay the points.
