Tonight’s NBA slate may not be quite as loaded as the one that we got to enjoy last night, but it still features absolutely amazing matchups, especially the ones on ESPN. The second game of that doubleheader has Jaylen Brown and Nikola Jokic going head-to-head, so of course, we’ve got our best Celtics vs. Nuggets predictions for tonight.

🤔 Celtics vs. Nuggets Predictions for NBA on ESPN, 2/25

As if having those superstars featured in prime time wasn’t exciting enough, Boston taking on Denver is also a potential NBA Finals preview. Along with the fact that they’re two of the most recent champions, who wouldn’t want Celtics vs. Nuggets predictions for tonight? It’s perfect for adding to our NBA expert picks. 

The first thing that we have to keep in mind is that Boston was just on the court last night, continuing their trip out west against the Phoenix Suns. Meanwhile, Denver hasn’t been on the court since Sunday afternoon, but that was quite a rough game for them. Despite a first-half triple-double from Jokic, they still lost.

What made it rough was the fact that they lost to a Golden State Warriors team that had virtually no one - there was no Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry, or Draymond Green. That loss is sure to have fans staying away from their side of the matchup for any Celtics vs. Nuggets picks.

At the same time, it was the game just before that where they scored the most points by any team in the NBA this season in their 157-103 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. As for meetings between these teams specifically, we saw the first one at the start of the new year, which, of course, was in Boston.

A Jokic-less Denver squad won that game by four points despite being nearly double-digit underdogs. That means now we’ve got some info going against Boston. Let’s sort through it all so that we can lock in a best bet from our Celtics vs. Nuggets predictions! 

🔥 Celtics vs. Nuggets Best Bet: Under 230.5 Points (-109 at Novig)

We noted all those Warriors injuries for the Nuggets' last game, and Boston was without Jaylen Brown last night due to a knee contusion. That’s obviously a massive factor for any Celtics vs. Nuggets predictions, but to the benefit of Boston fans, they had the luxury of facing the Devin Booker-less Suns.

As you can see, injuries and overall attrition are significant factors at this point in the season, not just for your Celtics vs. Nuggets picks. Therefore, with fewer superstars on the court (or at least sub-100% star power), our best bet shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Even with Brown back on the court, we still like this play.

After all, his two-way prowess is a large reason why Boston has arguably the very best defense in the entire NBA. Not only is that true from an efficiency and scoring standpoint, but they also have the slow pace of play in the entire league. Similarly, the Nuggets rank 23rd in that regard.

We know fans almost always prefer to root FOR points, but we’re going the other way tonight; the best bet from our Celtics vs. Nuggets predictions is under 230.5 points (-109 at Novig).
