The Nuggets were led by Trey Lyles who had 25 points and five rebounds. Will Barton and Gary Harris also played well, scoring 21 points each. Wilson Chandler added 18 points and eight rebounds. Jamal Murray also played solid. He had 13 points in 27 minutes.
Everyone played decent and contributed, but the Nuggets still lost by double digits. Honestly, the team lacks a true number one scoring option and leader in the locker room. The injury to Paul Millsap has thrown a wrench in things for the Nuggets; who also lack a respectable veteran presence on the floor.

Defensively, the Nuggets are allowing teams to score 107.7 points per game this year. Ranking the Nuggets 23rd in points scored this season. Victor Oladipo destroyed the Nuggets defense their last game. He had 47 points on 15 of 28 shooting in the game.
If the Nuggets are going to be a playoff team in the west, or even beat the Celtics, they must play better defense and pick up a star scorer in free agency.
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics might be the best team in the eastern conference right now, but a recent blowout loss against the Bulls has others thinking different. The Celtics were destroyed last night against the Bulls, losing by 20 points on the road. The Bulls are the worst team in the NBA this season, and carry a 6-20 record this year.
Kyrie Irving did not play in the loss, but that’s no excuse for terrible play against a poor team. The Celtics shot 39 percent from the floor, and 25 percent from three point land in the loss. Don’t expect the Celtics to play two games in a row so poorly. Irving will be back against the Nuggets.

Free Denver Nuggets vs.Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
The Nuggets are going to have to play lights out on road back to backs against the Celtics. Look for the Nuggets to lack go to scoring against the defensive minded Celtics in this one.
Boston will be happy to have Kyrie Irving back on the floor, but the absence of Al Hortford could be felt. If the Celtics play their game, which is a defense first mindset, Boston should cruise.
