Jayson Tatum collided with the first row of seats during the loss to the Thunder, bruising his forearm, but he was not listed on Boston’s injury report. Nor was Jaylen Brown, who missed the first two games of the road trip with a shoulder strain before returning to the court on Sunday.

The Denver Nuggets are hosting the Boston Celtics, who are currently the number two seed in the Eastern Conference tonight. The Nuggets are coming into today's game having won four out of their last five games and it appears they are finally figuring things out now.

The Nuggets were third in the NBA in scoring entering Monday's play, one rung ahead of the Celtics, with an offense not surprisingly built around what star Nikola Jokić does best.

The Boston Celtics head to the Ball Arena to face the Denver Nuggets in a non-conference matchup. The Celtics are 26-10, which puts them in second place in the Eastern Conference. The Nuggets are 20-14, which puts them in fourth place in the Western Conference.

This might not be the Nuggets behemoth of recent seasons. But they are still a dangerous opponent the Celtics will need to bring their best against.
