The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets are facing off in an exciting showdown on Friday night. Both teams will be almost entirely healthy for this game, which adds to the excitement. For Boston, they have released their injury report, and superstar forward Jayson Tatum is not listed.

Tatum being available means fans will get the exciting superstar battle between he and Nikola Jokic. Two very different players, Tatum and Jokic are among the very best the NBA has to offer, and will showcase that in this matchup on Friday.

A possible NBA Finals preview, this game between Denver and Boston could give fans an early look at what many believe will be this year's Finals. While it is far too early to say that definitively, Boston and Denver have been among the two best teams in basketball this season, and were just one game away from meeting in last year's Finals.

Losing in seven games to the Miami Heat after trailing 3-0, the Celtics were a win away from meeting the Nuggets in the Finals last year. Looking to make it over that hump this year, Boston not only wants to get to the Finals like they did in 2022, but finally win it all. In order to do so, they may have to take down the same Nuggets team they will face on Friday night.
