Celtics vs Nuggets will be one of the games with which the NBA will welcome the year 2023. These are two teams that have been playing in very good this season and that is being reflected in their stats. Still, during the last part of December they had some setbacks.
The Celtics are the lords and masters of the league, and they wil be looking to prolong their dominance once the new year arrives. The Denver Nuggets should be proud of everything they have accomplished this campaign, as all the effort has paid off as they are one of the best teams in the Western Conference.

Betting on the Boston Celtics
- Season record: 26-10.
It is not easy to maintain a good level for long in any sport, but the Boston Celtics continue to put their name on a high place in this 2022-23 NBA season. They failed to win the Finals in the previous season, but they want to try again and here they are demonstrating that they have the potential to do so.
So far, they are the best team, not only in the Eastern Conference or the Atlantic Division, but overall in the whole season as they are the team with the most wins and the fewest losses, with their 26-10 record, after 36 games played. They managed to overcome a bitter pill of three consecutive defeats in the second half of December, and finish the year 2022 with four wins in a row.
Betting on the Denver Nuggets
- Season record: 22-12.
The Denver Nuggets are also surprising all basketball fans with their actions, as they are, along with the New Orleans Pelicans, the two best teams in the Western Conference.
They fell by a score of 127-126 to the Sacramento Kings in the middle of the week, but that has failed to tarnish what the Nuggets have done over the last 10 games, as they have won eight of those games. All this is highlighted by their best favorable streak of five consecutive wins, just prior to the aforementioned loss.
All that success is reflected in their numbers in the Northwest Division where they lead the league with the most wins and fewest losses, with their 22-12 record. They must face the Miami Heat in their last game of the year, and then seek revenge against the Celtics.
JefeBet Prediction
The Boston Celtics emerged victorious from what has been the only crossover of the season so far against the Denver Nuggets, with a score of 131-112.
Several weeks have passed since then, but the level of the Boston franchise continues to be overwhelming, and that is largely due to the duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who is the best scoring duo in the NBA. If this pair has a good day, expect another Celtics win.
Prediction: Boston Celtics win by 7 points.
