The Boston Celtics head to the home of the defending champion Denver Nuggets looking to bounce back from a fourth quarter collapse in Cleveland tonight from Ball Arena.
Brown questionable with a bad back
One of the keys to the Celtics success this season has been their ability to stay healthy, but tonight one of the stars of the show is listed on the injury report. Jaylen Brown played against Cleveland on Tuesday, but comes into tonight listed as questionable with a sacroilica strain.
Brown told Celtics reporter Brian Robb that he isn’t sure where his back injury originated but will see how he feels after shoot around in Denver. He’s averaging 26.1 points since the break, and played 37 minutes in the loss to the Cavs on Thursday night.
The Celtics currently have a comfortable lead over the rest of the pack in the Eastern Conference leading the second placed Bucks by eight games coming into the night. If any team in the league has the luxury of giving their stars a night off, it’s Boston who will most likely wrap up the one seed in the East, barring a late season disaster.
The C’s have everyone else available for the spotlight matchup with the Nuggets who have all hands on deck tonight in this potential NBA Finals preview.
