💰 Celtics vs. Nuggets best bet

See all of our experts' NBA picks for today's slate.

The Celtics are coming in off a back-to-back, while the Nuggets are well-rested, and the game is in Denver, which is a significant edge. Playing at altitude is never easy, especially for a team on tired legs, and that advantage typically shows up in the second half. Denver’s offense operates at a high level at home, where role players tend to shoot better and the pace favors their style.

With fresher legs, home-court advantage, and the altitude factor working in their favor, the Nuggets are in a strong position to control this matchup and cover the -3.5 spread tonight.
