*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, on Wednesday, March 6th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Thursday, March 7th.
Boston Celtics
After the 50-point beat down versus the Warriors, the Celtics proved they aren’t invincible and have a few areas to shore up.
Specifically finishing in the clutch. The problem is the Bean Town crew rarely finds themselves in close games as they’ve run roughshod through the competition.
Jayson Tatum in particular didn’t seem to take advantage of his size and skill in clutch time which partially falls on Joe Mazzulla. That meltdown was timely, however, as it’ll allow them an opportunity to work on fixing it via set plays.
Celtics Stats
Boston ranks first offensively (121.5) and second defensively (110.2) while registering a net differential of plus +11.3 that also ranks first overall.
In terms of the Celtics’ performance against the spread, they offer a 30-28-3 record through 61 matches.
Celtics Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Jaylen Brown, SF (questionable — knee)
- Neemias Queta, C (questionable — knee)
Denver Nuggets
The winning streak came to an end but not before the Nuggets reminded us of how well they play in the fourth quarter and clutch time. They came 0.1 seconds from winning in regulation but used up all their energy erasing the deficit and had no legs left in overtime.
Despite the loss, the Nuggets remain the favorites to come out of the West and their starting five still feels like the most lethal unit in their conference if not the association.
Nuggets Stats
Denver ranks 10th offensively (117.2) and ninth defensively (113.0) with a net differential of plus +4.2 which ranks seventh overall.
Despite their overall placement, the Nuggets aren’t as solid against the spread with a 27-33-2 record through 62 contests.
Nuggets Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Vlatko Cancar, SF (OUT indefinitely— knee)

Free Boston Celtics vs. Denver Nuggets NBA Prediction:
These teams are strong candidates to face each other in the NBA Finals so neither will want to share any special schemes in this meeting.
That said, it feels like it’s more important for Boston to net the victory having lost to the Nuggets already plus coming off their worst loss of the season.
Alternatively, the Nuggets could send a message by sweeping the season series.
