The veteran forward helps their entire system run smoothly whenever on the court.

For the year, he has averaged 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 0.5 steals per game for Denver. Gordon helps to really round out this Nuggets team on both ends of the floor.

The veteran has been dealing with a left ankle sprain and it's been bothering him for a while now.

Boston enters with their own injury issues as Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday are both ruled out for the contest. Both missed the team's last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and will now be forced to sit out another crucial game for this team.

Star forward Jaylen Brown was also on the injury report but he will be playing in this game. Brown has been dealing with a nagging injury that has forced him to miss a game this week already.

Boston is hopeful that Brown will at least be able to give them strong minutes in this game against Denver. They will need him to face this tough Nuggets team, otherwise, it could be a long matchup for the Celtics. Brown put up a strong showing against Cleveland in the last game.
