The Celtics are 7th in the East and have won their last 6 games. They are 18-10 at home and 8-2 in their last 10 games. They are 9-11 against Western Conference teams. The Celtics are 1 game behind 6th place Toronto, who have won 8 in a row. They are 2 games behind 5th place Philadelphia and 2.5 games behind 3rd place Chicago. They are also 1.5 games ahead of 8th place Brooklyn and 3 games ahead of 9th place Charlotte.
The Nuggets are in 6th place in the West and have won their last 2 games. They are 15-14 on the road and 7-3 in their last 10 games. They are 13-7 against Eastern Conference teams. The Western Conference isn’t as tightly seeded as the East is. The Nuggets are 1.5 games behind 5th place Dallas and 3.5 games behind 4th place Utah. They are 2.5 games ahead of 7th place Minnesota.
Both teams last played on Tuesday and both have had 2 days off. This is the first game of a 2 game road trip for Denver. It is also the first game of back to back games. They will play at Toronto on Saturday. The Celtics are playing in the first of 2 home games. They will face Atlanta at home on Sunday. They will then play at Philadelphia on Tuesday and then back to back at home vs the Pistons on Wednesday.

Let's see how we measure against a very good team. We don't look like we've looked the past 8 games.
Denver is good.

Wow looks like I was wrong on this kid White! Playing very well so far. The big thing to me is Jayson Tatum appears to be looking for him every time Jason has the ball. Must have developed a little trust in the Olympics

Q3:
C's open 2nd half with Tatum, Brown, Smart, Rob & Horford

Smart opens with a 3 ... 60-54 DEN
B2B turnovers by Smart
Bones Hyland makes a 3 ... 63-54 DEN
TIME OUT CELTICS!
