The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets face off on early Sunday afternoon, as the defending NBA champs and reigning NBA MVP see each other for the first time this season. When the two teams met in January, Nikola Jokic was sidelined, leading to a dominant Celtics win in Denver.

For Sunday's matchup, Jokic, Jamal Murray, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown are all good to go, so the game will likely be decided by the supporting cast. Unfortunately for both teams, each side could be missing some key players.

The Celtics have ruled out Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and the Nuggets will be without one of their key starters as well.

The Nuggets have listed Aaron Gordon out for Sunday's game due to a left ankle sprain, downgrading him from his initial questionable status.

Gordon has dealt with his fair share of injuries this season, already missing 24 games. The Nuggets are 15-9 when Gordon is sidelined, as he also missed Denver's last matchup with the Celtics. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game this season, becoming a huge contributor for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets and Celtics are each sitting in second place in their respective conferences, making Sunday's matchup a huge test for both teams. They are set to face off at 1 p.m. EST in Boston on Sunday.
