Role-player Aaron Nesmith has been designated as questionable for the game, looking to return to action for the first time since injuring his ankle on March 3rd vs. the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Denver Nuggets - SIC Health Score 83.9 will look to bounce back after a close overtime loss on Friday to the Cleveland Cavaliers, which saw MVP candidate Nikola Jokic (FD $11,300) has led the team in points, rebounds, and assists for the 8th consecutive game.
Comments from head Coach Mike Malone on Friday suggest that both Jamal Murray (torn ACL) and Michael Porter Jr. (back surgery) will need more time to recover. Malone added that Murry “still has some hurdles to overcome” to make it back for the playoffs.
Forward Zeke Nnaji has been ruled out for this game as he continues to deal with bilateral knee soreness.
Potential Plays
BOS -2.5 - Celtics are the healthier team and have the center depth to slow Jokic down
