Boston Celtics vs Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
The Boston Celtics (26-10) face off against the Denver Nuggets (20-14) on Tuesday night at 10:00 PM ET at Ball Arena. The Celtics, despite being the favorites with a spread of -5.5 and a moneyline of -215, will need to navigate the challenges of a cross-country trip and a two-time zone change. This extended road journey could hinder their performance, especially as they come off a disappointing 105-92 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets enter this matchup with a recent victory, having defeated the San Antonio Spurs 122-111 three days prior. The extra days off provide the Nuggets with an advantage, allowing their players to rest and recover, which could play a crucial role in their performance against a fatigued Celtics squad.
Both teams have been performing well lately, with the Celtics winning 21 of their last 30 games and the Nuggets securing 18 wins in the same span. However, the Celtics' travel fatigue could be a significant factor, especially considering the Nuggets' home-court advantage.
Betting enthusiasts are particularly interested in player prop markets, with Russell Westbrook's points being a focal point. The prop total for Westbrook opened at Over 10.5 Points (-120) and has since risen to 11.5 Points (-120), indicating a strong interest from sharp bettors on the Over.
With the Celtics holding a 66% implied win probability and the Nuggets at 34%, this matchup promises to be an intriguing battle, especially with the potential impact of travel fatigue and recent performance trends.
