Boston owns the best record in the NBA at 48-13, but the Celtics saw their 11-game winning streak disappear in Tuesday’s 105-104 loss at Cleveland.
The Celtics threw away a 22-point lead as their eight-game road hot streak also came to an end.
The Nuggets sit behind the Minnesota Timberwolves and Oklahoma City Thunder for the top spot in the Western Conference.
Denver has posted a 42-20 record, which is actually one game off the pace from last season when the Nuggets eventually won their first title.
Like the Celtics, the Nuggets are coming off a loss that ended a substantial winning streak.
Phoenix tripped up Denver on Tuesday, 117-107 in overtime to snap a six-game hot stretch for the Nuggets.
Denver handed Boston its first home loss of the season in mid-January with a two-point defeat.
Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic combined for 69 points in the win, while Boston stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown made only two 3-pointers in 17 attempts.
