Boston at Denver

The Boston Celtics are in a heated race (no pun intended), vs. the Miami Heat for the best record in the NBA East and subsequent home-court advantage come playoff time. The Celtics have won enough and have the experience enough to know that the road to that cause is found on the defensive end of the court. Boston has turned up the defense a notch or two. Only one team has reached the century mark vs. Boston in their last 15 games, and that was barely as Dallas scored 101. Boston, at the same time, has reached the 100+ mark just four times in the same period. The Nuggets are usually a big offensive team, but with their star gone and a lot of new players on the court facing a defensive-oriented team, I would not expect business as usual. Play the UNDER in this one.
