NBA Sides
809 DEN -4.0 (-110) vs 810 BOS
NBA - 809 Denver Nuggets @ 810 Boston Celtics
Denver is now 0-3 on the second night of a back to back after losing to the Cavaliers last
Wednesday. Ty Lawson was awful by shooting 1-13 from the field and the Nuggets were
outrebounded by the Cavaliers 58-43. By allowing 20 offensive boards, the Nuggets couldn't go
out in transition like they wanted and this helps to explain their lowly 88-points outcome. Tonight
they will face the Celtics on the road on a pretty favorable matchup for them. Boston's defense
has been decent, but a bit overrated due to the fact they have been facing plenty of Eastern
Conference teams. Their mindset is to lock down the opposing perimeter game, but they are
exposed near the basket with their undersized and inexperienced frontcourt. I understand that
they are ranked #11 in the league allowing 59% FG at the rim, but when they faced elite teams
that generate easy points near the basket, the Celtics struggled in this area. On their last game
they allowed John Henson to shot 4-8 FG, Ekpe Udoh 4-7 FG, Ersan Ilyasova 3-5 FG and even
Zaza Pachulia 3-5 FG. Against Western conference teams this season, they allowed Memphis to
score 95 and 100 points, Portland 109, Houston 109 and San Antonio 104 points!
Denver will be able to score plenty of easy points against the Celtics who are as well a poor
defensive rebounding team, so I expect an offensive bounce back game from them tonight.
Boston has been shooting well from long range except a terrible 4-19 3pts performance at
Milwaukee in a back to back game, so they should generate some points against the Nuggets as
well, however the Nuggets as a top team from the West is vastly superior than this Celtics team
and I think they will win with some ease. Therefore, I'll be taking both the Over and the Nuggets
in here.
