Christian Braun has emerged as a quality rotational piece for the Nuggets and has really shown off an impressive connection with Nikola Jokic. Braun is able to score in a variety of ways and is also playing big minutes for Denver. He has routinely been eclipsing this combo line in then month of February and I dont believe the oddsmakers have caught up to how good Braun is. We'll continue to ride the proverbial hot hand.

Is Boston really going to lose back-to-back home games to potential playoff foes? The C's fell at TD Garden on Friday to Cleveland despite leading by 22 points almost immediately. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis missed it and both are out today. So I'm not playing a full unit but think it's a tricky spot for the Nuggets, without Aaron Gordon, at the end of a four-game trip through the Eastern Conference and third game since Thursday.

The Boston Celtics are coming off back to back losses where they have folded in second halves. Detroit outscored them by 20 points, and Cleveland by 17 in the second half of the Celtics losses. Look for Jamal Murray to start the month of March the way he ended February, in what was his best month scoring wise in the season averaging 25 points per game. Play his points over.

This one might be more than just a battle of the last two NBA champs; for Boston it takes on other significance as the Celtics look to snap a 2-game skid. But as long as Jaylen Brown (who scored 37 in the Friday loss vs. Cleveland) can play thru some nagging knee pain, this looks a spot where Boston can recover. Note the January 7 game at Denver when Boston shot 50% from the floor and Jayson Tatum scored 29 in a 118-106 Celtics win. The Nuggets, of course, had an excuse that night as Nikola Jokic wasn't available due to illness, but the Joker has been very available in the Nuggets' current 11-2 SU surge. Denver, though, has lost 2 of 4. Play Celtics
