Why The Nuggets Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Nuggets are 18-23-1 against the spread. Additionally, they are 7-14 against the spread on the road. The Nuggets are 6-11 against the spread as a road underdog. Moreover, the Nuggets are 2-6-1 against the spread with a rest advantage.

Jokic continues to be everything for this Denver team. So far, he is averaging 25.5 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 9.1 assists per game. Jokic is also shooting 58.1 percent from the field. Ultimately, he is the best player on this team and is capable of being the best player in the entire NBA. Murray has been good as well, averaging 20.5 points per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field. Meanwhile, Porter has been solid, averaging 16.4 points and 7.1 rebounds per game. Gordon has continued to shoot the ball well, averaging 14.1 points and 6.6 rebounds per game while shooting 55.4 percent from the field. Additionally, Jackson is averaging 11.8 points per game.

The Nuggets remain a top-5 shooting team and a top-10 three-point shooting team. However, they are struggling from the charity stripe this season. The Nuggets are average on the boards. Yet, they continue to handle the basketball well. The Nuggets are a little more inconsistent on the defensive rim.

The Nuggets will cover the spread if Jokic can get hot and find ways to get to the rim and distribute the ball to his teammates. Then, they must find a way to contain Tatum and Brown.

Why The Celtics Could Cover The Spread/Win

The Celtics are 20-18-2 against the spread. Also, they are 12-7 against the spread at home. The Celtics are also 12-7 against the spread as a home favorite. Likewise, the Celtics are 4-3 against the spread with a rest disadvantage.

Tatum continues to be one of the best players in the game, averaging 27.1 points per game while shooting 47.5 percent from the field. Additionally, Brown has been good too, averaging 23.3 points per game while shooting 49.6 percent from the field. Holiday has been a great third piece for this offense, averaging 13 points per game while shooting 45.2 percent from the field.

The Celtics remain one of the most efficient teams in the league when they are at the charity stripe. Likewise, they continue to be great from beyond the arc. The Celtics are also one of the best in the league on the boards. Moreover, they handle the ball exceptionally well. Scoring on the Celtics is not easy, either, as they are one of the top-5 shot-blocking teams in the league.

The Celtics will cover the spread if Tatum and Brown can continue to rack up points. Then, the defense needs to contain Jokic.

Final Nuggets-Celtics Prediction & Pick

The Nuggets will have their hands full in an arena that is hostile. The Celtics have yet to lose a home game this year. Expect them to find a way to cover the spread here against a Denver team that is different on the road than they are at home.
