The Denver Nuggets are visiting the Boston Celtics Sunday afternoon for a marquee matchup that many believe could be the NBA Finals matchup.

Sunday afternoon's game will be the second and final meeting between the current reigning NBA Champions and the current MVP of the league. The Nuggets fell short in their last meeting, ending in a score of 118-106. However Denver was missing a key starter in that game, Nikola Jokic, but fortunately for fans, he is not currently listed on the injury report.

The Nuggets have seven players listed on their injury report: Aaron Gordon, Trey Alexander, Vlatko Cancar, PJ Hall, DaRon Holmes II, Zeke Nnaji, and Peyton Watson.
