The Boston Celtics nearly blew a 20-point lead for the second consecutive game. But unlike Friday night when they lost at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Celtics prevailed over the Denver Nuggets on Sunday afternoon, 110-103.

The Boston Celtics will be facing off against the Denver Nuggets today. But will star Jaylen Brown be playing? The forward was listed on the injury report before the matchup.

▪ Jayson Tatum has faced just about every defensive coverage imaginable, and most often teams try to wobble him with blitzes, traps and double teams that force another player to beat them. But Tatum is a willing and excellent passer, and this approach sometimes leads to quick advantages for the Celtics closer to the rim.
