Boston at Denver

Boston has won four straight, but the Celtics are playing their fourth road game in seven days and a back-to-back after defeating a depleted Phoenix team last night. The Celtics got the victory even while shooting just 40 percent and missing 34 of 37 3-point tries. Denver has covered the spread in four of six meetings, including winning 114-110 as a 9.5-point underdog at Boston on Jan. 7, the only meeting this season. The Nuggets have alternated wins and losses over their past seven games and come off a loss at Golden State on Sunday. They will have the rest advantage after two days off, and the Nuggets have won nine of their past 10 Wednesday games. Jaylen Brown, the leading scorer for the Celtics, is questionable with a right knee contusion. Take the Nuggets.
