Nuggets vs. Celtics Prediction:
I like the Nuggets to cover the spread on the road on Sunday afternoon. The Celtics seem to be a little out of sorts right now. They’ve lost their last two games and haven’t covered in their last 3 games. They will also be battling injuries on Sunday, as 3 key players have a designation, including Jaylen Brown, who has missed 3 of Boston’s last 7 games with injury. The Celtics have struggled at home this season with an 11-18 ATS record. The Nuggets have played well on the road lately, winning 5 of their last 6 outright. They are also 6-3 ATS as road underdogs this season and have covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 road games.
Nuggets vs. Celtics Prediction: Nuggets +2.5
