The Boston Celtics fly into the Mile-High City to face the Denver Nuggets (29-35). This marks the final stop of the C's five-game West Coast road trip. The last time these two teams faced off, the Nuggets got the better of the matchup, winning 123-107. Emmanuel Mudiay went off for a career-high 30 points, as he and his Denver teammates embarrassed the Celtics in the Garden. Mudiay has since then struggled and played himself out of the starting lineup, now the main focus will be on containing the emerging young star, Nikola Jokic. The 22-year old Jokic can do just about anything you could want from a 7-footer, presenting a tough task for coach Brad Stevens.
