Denver Nuggets @ Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics are looking to be taking a step forward again this year. This is a team that is on the rise. Anytime you watch the Celtics it seems like they play defense with an all in attitude. Last season the Celtics defense and offensive sets caused trouble for the Denver Nuggets.

Resulting in two losses. This road game should prove to be a challenge for the Nuggets. This is a hard one as the Nuggets have several key match ups that they may lose. For instance, the Horford-Nurkic matchup could see Denver being forced to either allow the deep two from Al or switch from the Jurkic lineup.

Overall, this will be one of the most interesting games of the first ten.

Win/Loss Rating: Advantage Celtics (3-2-Even)
