On Sunday afternoon, the Boston Celtics picked up an impressive home victory over the Denver Nuggets despite playing without both Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. The win brought the Celtics’ rare two-game losing skid to a halt and gave them a boost of confidence as the season approaches its final stretch.

The Boston Celtics look to snap a rare losing streak as they take on the Denver Nuggets on March 2. With Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday’s status uncertain, can Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown step up against Nikola Jokic and the defending Western Conference champs?

The two most recent NBA champions are playing well enough to reach the finals, and as we saw Sunday, it would be a compelling matchup.

The Boston Celtics will host the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden for one of the highly anticipated clashes from Saturday’s slate.

The Celtics avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season Sunday with a gritty 110-103 victory over the Denver Nuggets at TD Garden.
