The Celtics are coming off a loss at Indiana and they haven't lost back-to-back games all season. Denver is 8-1 but played a very soft schedule so far including 5 games at home.

The hot starts by the Raptors and Bucks may be grabbing the majority of the headlines in the Eastern Conference, but the Celtics aren't exactly struggling at 6-3. They have a ton of depth and have been the best defensive team in the league, allowing just 99.8 points per game. I like Boston with their complete team effort and depth to hand the Nuggets their 1st loss of the season at home.
