"Denver is on the final road game of a four-game road trip versus Indiana, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Boston. The Nuggets have gone 1-2 so far in that stretch and I like Denver in this spot, but am afraid what could happen in the fourth quarter. Boston peaked too early against Cleveland and certainly won't make that same mistake and play as poorly in the fourth quarter, which ultimately makes this a Celtics or pass spot. Not to mention, Boson rarely loses three games in a row."
