Denver @ Boston

This game will be a struggle.

With newly acquired Al Horford, the Celtics are going to be a tough match-up for any team this season. This coupled with an ever-improving Isiah Thomas will be difficult for the Nuggets to slow down.

Unfortunately, I think the Nuggets will suffer their first major blowout of the year against the Celtics. Much like Portland, the Celtics have gotten the best of Denver the last couple of years. Last year they swept the season series and the year before they split.

The Nuggets will fall to Boston by a final score of 114-88.
