The crowd in Denver isn't very strong but there is still a very real home court advantage due to the altitude. Boston has a relatively deep bench, so they don't take as big of a hit in my model like other teams would. I have this game as a true pick'em tonight which makes this a clear play with Paul Millsap listed as questionable for the Nuggets.

The hot starts by the Raptors and Bucks may be grabbing the majority of the headlines in the Eastern Conference, but the Celtics aren’t exactly struggling at 6-3. They have a ton of depth and have been the best defensive team in the league, allowing only 99.8 points per game. The Nuggets are a good defensive team in their own right, but I think the Celtics win this contest because of their depth, so I’ll take the points.
