Winning Prediction

While the odds favor Denver—largely due to their home-court advantage at altitude and interior dominance—we’re backing the Celtics to pull off the upset. Boston’s elite perimeter shooting and rapid ball movement are designed to stretch Denver’s half-court defense to its breaking point. If the Celtics can maintain their efficiency from deep and disrupt the Nuggets' rhythm inside, they have the firepower to defy the bookmakers and pull away in the closing minutes.
