The Denver Nuggets are hosting the Boston Celtics, who are currently the number two seed in the Eastern Conference tonight. The Nuggets are coming into today's game having won four out of their last five games and it appears they are finally figuring things out now.

Tonight will be the first meeting between these two teams this season. Last year, the Nuggets swept the Celtics, and they have their sights set on a repeat of history.

The Nuggets have six players listed on the injury report: Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Vlatko Cancar, PJ Hall, DaRon Holmes II, and Spencer Jones.

Aaron Gordon remains out due to a right calf strain, this will be his 7th missed game in a row. There is currently no timetable for his return, but he is making progress on recovery.

Coach Malone provided an Aaron Gordon update today. Says Gordon went through parts of practice - it was the most he’s done.
