This a HUGE revenge game for the Celtics and they had this game circled on their calendar for a while.
Back in November the Nuggets beat and Celtics and Denver's Jamal Murray's antics at the end really Pissed off the Celtics. He scored 48 points in the Nuggets' 115-107 in Denver on Nov. 5 and jacked up a last-second 3-pointer to try to reach 50. Boston guard Kyrie Irving wasn't happy and several Celtics players said there will be payback the next time around. Look for Boston to come out strong here and home and return the favor as the Celtics win big on Monday night. Lastly, the Nuggets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 road games and face a Celtics team that's won five of six and is finally looking like the contender everyone expected.
