So far, so good for the Boston Celtics on their current west coast road trip.

Boston has won their last two games on the road against the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings by a combined 61 points.

Tonight, the reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets welcome the Cs to the Mile High City for a matchup between two teams from different conferences that are only separated by a game in the standings, not that it matters for either squad’s postseason push.

Denver has had to play without their #2 and #3 leading scorers from the 2020-21 season, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. but has put together a campaign worthy of a playoff seed that doesn’t require an NBA Play-in game.

The Nuggets have gone 12-4 since the last time these two teams played back on February 11th, the first game the Cs had Derrick White at their disposal. That said, they’ve gone 2-3 in their last five. Boston, on the other hand, has gone 11-3 during that time.

What happens tonight when two teams with hopes of securing home-court advantage in the first round of the NBA postseason square off?

Celtics vs. Nuggets prediction

Both of these teams have been putting up gaudy point totals for the most part, but the Houdini is leaning towards another Sunday slog after last week’s defensive battle with the Dallas Mavericks in a loss.
