What to Know

After three games on the road, the Denver Nuggets are heading back home. They will take on the Boston Celtics at 8 p.m. ET Sunday at Ball Arena. The Nuggets have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Boston and are hoping to record their first victory since Nov. 22 of 2019.

Denver fought the good fight in their overtime contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers this past Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 119-116. The game was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Denver had been the slight favorite coming in. The losing side was boosted by center Nikola Jokic, who almost posted a triple-double on 32 points, ten boards, and eight dimes. That makes it 20 consecutive games in which Jokic has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, everything went Boston’s way against the Sacramento Kings this past Friday as they made off with a 126-97 win. With Boston ahead 67-48 at the half, the matchup was all but over already. It was another big night for their small forward Jayson Tatum, who shot 7-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 32 points and five rebounds.

The Nuggets are now 42-29 while the Celtics sit at 43-28. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Denver comes into the matchup boasting the third highest field goal percentage in the league at 47.80%. But Boston have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 43.10%, which places them first in the league. We’ll see which of these strengths — offense or defense — will win out.
