"1 UNIT" NBA NATIONAL-TV (Celtics +4'' at Nuggets in a 3:35 eastern tipoff nationally televised on ABC): Denver is coming off a very emotional victory a few nights ago in Cleveland where they ended up snapping the Cavaliers enormous 13-game winning streak. The problem is Denver was extended into OVERTIME which puts them in a potential "letdown" spot today even though this is being nationally televised on ABC.

The last time Boston visited Denver they won by an incredible 38-POINT margin in a contest where Celtics star Kevin Garnett did not even suit up due to injury. A few nights ago Denver star Carmelo Anthony lit up the scoreboard to the tune of 40 points, but my research indicates that he is averaging only 19 points per contest when facing Boston''s tough defense. The Celtics limped into the All-Star Break having lost 5 of 8 games, but have since turned things around enough where the overall mark in February (6-2) is positive. More important Boston has successfully COVERED the spread in consecutive outings which is in stark contrast to the prior 14 games where the Celtics made money for bettors just TWICE. As mentioned earlier Denver won an OVERTIME affair at Cleveland a few nights ago which according to my database research puts them in a bad wagering position this afternoon even though they are 23-5 this campaign in front of their own fans. For the entire season to date Denver is a dreadful 2-11 ATS when playing 3 times in a 4-day span which is easy to see due to their "up tempo" style of play
