(Sports Network) - With Carmelo Anthony across the country in New York, the Boston Celtics hope their visit to the Rocky Mountains tonight will be an even easier one as they take on the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. Detroit Lions Calvin Johnson Jersey . Anthony was dealt to the Knicks earlier this week in a blockbuster deal that sent the former first-round pick and veteran guard Chauncey Billups to the Big Apple. Anthony did not play against Boston in a 105-89 loss at TD Garden back on Dec. 8 because of inflammation in his right knee. Ray Allen led the Celtics in that one with 28 points, giving them their third win in four tries in the series. Boston has lost five of six and six of its last eight at Denver. The Celtics posted their third straight win overall with a 115-93 decision over Golden State on Tuesday in the opener of a four-game road trip. Kevin Garnett was a force with 24 points and 12 rebounds, Paul Pierce netted 23 points and Rajon Rondo ended with 19 points and 15 assists for Atlantic Division-leading Boston, which is 41-14 on the season and 16-9 as the guest. I thought Rondo, leadership-wise, throughout the game, he was getting on guys. I just thought that he was a coach on the floor tonight. He was terrific, Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. Boston shot 56 percent for the game and had a 52-35 edge on the glass. It also closed out the game on a 25-7 run and outscored the Warriors, 54-36, in the paint. The Celtics will make stops at the Clippers and Jazz during the western trek. On the injury front, center Kendrick Perkins will be sidelined tonight with a strained MCL in his left knee. Meanwhile, the Nuggets began life after Anthony with Tuesdays 120-107 victory over the visiting Memphis Grizzlies. J.R. Smith scored 26 points, while both Arron Afflalo and Ty Lawson netted 21 for the Nuggets, winners in two straight and three of their last five games. Change is not something easy to accept. Melos held down this city for a long time. But its a change and it was going to take place eventually, said Afflalo. Billups, Anthony Carter, Shelden Williams and Renaldo Balkman were all shipped to the Knicks, and Denver got Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler and Timofey Mozgov in return. The Nuggets had only eight players to suit up against the Grizzlies. Denver is a solid 23-7 at home this season. On the injury front for the Nuggets, Smith is questionable for Thursday with a balky right leg. Jacksonville Jaguars Maurice Jones-Drew Jersey .

According to a report in the Toronto Sun, Toronto added Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young to their list. Young, the third overall selection in the 2006 NFL draft is no stranger to Argonauts head coach Bart Andrus, as Andrus worked with the Titans last season as an offensive assistant coach. Each CFL team has a confidential list of 35 players that they have exclusive negotiating rights to. These players can be from U.S. colleges, or players who have played in other leagues like the Arena Football League and the National Football League. Despite being under contract with the Titans for the next three seasons, Young finds himself behind Kerry Collins, who signed a two-year deal with the club in the off-season. Young lost his starting job to Collins last year after he sprained his left knee in the Titans season opening 17-10 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. According to reports at the time, Young refused to go back in the game after being booed by fans for throwing a second interception.& The next day, Young skipped a scheduled MRI and left his house without his phone, which prompted Titans coach Jeff Fisher to get the police to search for Young. Jets Mark Sanchez Jersey. A crisis negotiator and some SWAT officers were involved in the search. Earlier this week, Young told a local Television station that he was willing to leave the Titans if he wasnt going to start. "Definitely I want to be in there playing ball and picking up where I left off, winning games and having a good time with my teammates and fans," Young told WMAR-TV. "But at the same time if them guys dont want me in there, its time for me to make a career change for myself." "The fact is Im ready to play ball, and if theyre not ready for me to play ball, somebody is." A few days later, Youngs agent tried to downplay the comments. "Vinces desire has always been to compete for the starting quarterback job in Tennessee," Agent Major Adams said on Tuesday. "Even before they drafted him, they asked him if he thought he could compete for the starting role, and he said yes. He has always been a starter and that is his mindset." ' ' '
