Celtics vs. Nuggets
The Boston Celtics will face the Denver Nuggets in the first preseason game of the year in Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi. It looks like we'll actually get to see some of the stars play in this one. The Celtics will likely run it back with Derrick White, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Al Horford. Unfortunately, Kristaps Porzingis is still out with an ankle injury. But other than that, the Celtics look good. On the other hand, the Nuggets will likely roll out with a lineup of Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic. We won't see DaRon Holmes II this season, and Peyton Weston and Jalen Picket will likely not be available until the regular season begins. That said, the Celtics have always been the deeper team. They've also got more depth to close this game out. Remember, this game is on NBA TV at noon ET since it’s in Abu Dhabi. Grab the Celtics at -3.5 (-115).
Pick: Celtics -3.5 (-115)
