He is off to a great start to the season averaging 25.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per contest in 12 games (this will be the first game he has missed this season). 

The Celtics are also 9-3 in their first 12 games and in the middle of a five-game winning streak.

The Nuggets had also been in the middle of a four-game winning streak, which made the dominant win even more impressive. 

They have a 5-1 record in six games at home in Massachusetts and are 4-2 on the road. 

As for the Pistons, they are trending in the other direction. 

They have lost two games in a row and are 3-10 in their first 13 games.
