The Nuggets won their first matchup 114-110 despite missing Nikola Jokic thanks to a 30-point performance by Peyton Watson and a double-double from Jamal Murray who dropped 22 points and 17 assists. With Jokic back in the fold this time around, expect the Nuggets to bank on their signature two-man game and control the tempo from the opening tip so it’s up for the Celtics to find ways to disrupt their rhythm inside.
The good news for the Celtics is they now have a legitimate big man that can match up with Jokic in Montenegrin center Nikola Vucevic. The 35-year old Vucevic, who was acquired from the Bulls in this month’s NBA trade deadline, brings size and a reliable mid-range game that could help the Celtics contain Jokic’s dominance in the paint. However, Vucevic alone may not be enough to go toe-to-toe with the Nuggets’ offense which is why it’s important for the Celtics to get franchise superstar Jaylen Brown, Payton Pritchard, and Derrick White to get going early.
One thing about the Nuggets is they have so many weapons that could hurt the Celtics from multiple angles. Besides the one-two punch of Murray and Jokic, players like Cameron Johnson, Aaron Gordon, and even Julian Strawther can get hot in a hurry which could force the Celtics into making difficult rotations. This puts extra pressure on the Celtics to stay alert on every possession and avoid overcommitting on one player at the expense of leaving others wide open.
