The Finals favorites are set to clash for the second time this season Thursday evening in the Mile High City. If the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets meet again this year, it will be with the title on the line in June.
The Celtics dropped the first leg of a five-game road trip Tuesday to the Cleveland Cavaliers to put an end to their 11-game winning streak. The Nuggets fell to the Phoenix Suns in overtime that same night, ending a run of six straight victories. While Boston (48–13) has the best record in the NBA and the best odds to win it all (+210), Denver (42–20), the reigning champion, is in third place in the West and has the second-best odds to go back-to-back (+420).
