Last game out Boston\u2019s four All-Stars each played extremely well as the Celtics resumed play after the break with a 115-93 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The Denver Nuggets will reveal a revamped roster when they host the Boston Celtics on Thursday in the franchise\u2019s second game since trading All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks. Acquisitions Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari and Timofey Mozgov from the Knicks and center Kosta Koufos from the Minnesota Timberwolves are all expected to be in uniform for the contest, but Gallinari is the only guy expected to be in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n

***Boston has battled injuries all season, and now three centers (Shaq, Kendrick Perkins and the calcified Jermaine O\u2019Neal) are all on the sidelines. The Celtics have basically a month of facing the league\u2019s middle class before they play another interesting game (March 21 at San Antonio). \"Sports<\/a><\/p>\n

The entire business model is based on getting people ready for the playoffs rather than finishing with the East\u2019s best record.<\/p>\n

Interesting Stat: Something will give tonight. Boston is allowing just 86.8 points over the past six games, reducing its league-leading scoring defense figure to 91.2. Denver leads the league in scoring at 107.8. The Nuggets have topped 100 in nine of the last 10 contests.<\/p>\n

Trends<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Under is 34-16-1 in BOS last 51 Thu. games.
\nDEN are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 vs. NBA Atlantic.
\nOver is 8-1 in DEN last 9 vs. Eastern Conference.
\nHome team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings.
\nOver is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.<\/p>\n

Best bets:<\/strong><\/em> Even with a depleted front line, Boston\u2019s terrific perimeter defense can take advantage of Denver\u2019s new lineup. Liking the under here.<\/p>\n
