8* UNDER (DESTRUCTION)

These have been two of the hottest teams in the league since the All Star break and this should absolutely be an exciting game to watch on Sunday night. So, high-scoring, and super intense defensive battle?! I say it's going to be the latter. Boston is off B2B wins to open its road trip, but off a big 126-97 victory at Sacramento, I expect the Celtics to have a more difficult time moving the ball in Denver tonight. Overall the C's average 109.7 PPG, which is right in the middle of the pack. The Nuggets average 111.4 PPG. Denver enters off a 119-116 OT loss at Cleveland, but it plays with revenge here after a 108-102 loss at Boston last month. That total went "under" the number and I expect a similar lower-scoring, intense defensive battle here as well; this number is high, the play is the "under!"
