Boston Celtics: news and form
After a complicated start, marked by 5 defeats in 7 games, the Celtics took time to find their rhythm with results that were too irregular to hope to enter the Top 8, but Boston seems to have found the solution recently and thus won 8 of its Last 10 games, taking advantage of the poor form of the Nets to overtake them in the standings. With a victory behind the Raptors, 6th, Ime Udoka’s players have the opportunity to get a little closer to the top of the rankings and will count on the support of their public to do so, while Boston has 18 successes in 28 games played at home this season.
Celtics: players to watch
Boston can rely on future All-Star Game holder Jayson Tatum to lead the Celtics to victory. The winger is indeed achieving a new season of high quality with 25.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists on average per game in 52 games. The American player is well supported by his usual friend Jaylen Brown, who compiles 23.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 34.2 minutes played per game this season.
Denver Nuggets: news and form
Opposite, Denver is fighting to regain the top of the standings following a long slump in November marked by 8 defeats in 10 games. The Nuggets, however, have recovered well and have been advancing at a good pace lately. Remaining on 2 victories in a row, the latest once morest New York (132-115) on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Mike Malone’s players will want to continue before going to face Toronto and will rely for that on their defensive solidity , while Denver averages 107.6 points per game, 11th in the league. However, it will be necessary to do much better on the offensive level: the Nuggets seem less comfortable on the other side of the floor with only the 14th offensive record in the NBA, scoring 109.7 points per game this season.
Nuggets: players to follow
Holder at the All-Star Game, Nikola Jokic is still impressive and literally carries Denver this season once more. The Serbian pivot is simply the Nuggets’ best player in all statistical categories with 25.8 points, 13.6 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.7 once morest average per game. Jokic can count on Will Barton to support him, the rear having a much lower performance, but still being valuable with 15.6 points, 5 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 32.6 minutes spent on the floor.
