Well fellas we’ve got a good one tonight. I feel pretty good about this one considering the injuries to Denver and because Boston’s big 3 is fully healthy and has had a chance to play a few games together - I think this will be their breakout game. Denver is without Milsap, Barton, Harris, Dozier, and possibly without Morris as well. I think Boston will easily handle this one at hone. Since Denver is so banged up, they will look to Jokic and Murray to score for them tonight. Jokic has been scoring very well lately while Murray has taken a backseat so far, but I expect that to change tonight since Murray has a size advantage over Kemba and Jokic has a tough matchup against a defensive minded Tristan Thompson. I think Denver will be behind most of this game and look to their guards to score fast points and late into the 4th quarter. Take the Celtics -2, Kemba Walker over 17.5 points, Jamal Murray over 19.5 points, and Michael Porter Jr. over 15.5 points.
