New Orleans Pelicans forward Bruce Brown (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown will be sidelined for the second half of back-to-back games to rest after posting 12 points, two assists and one rebound across 35 minutes on Sunday against the Pistons. With Brown out, Jordan Hawkins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely have plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities, especially with seven Pelicans players unavailable this evening.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Bruce Brown (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Pelicans have decided to take the cautious approach and give Brown a rest day during the front end of this back-to-back set. Honestly, Brown hasn't been much of a fantasy option lately, so his absence shouldn't be a huge problem for fantasy managers. Jamal Cain will likely see more run in the rotation, but he's not a recommended streaming option right now.
New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Bruce Brown (rest) won't suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Brown will have the evening off to rest during the first half of back-to-back games against the Suns. He has played in five games since joining the Pelicans via trade from the Raptors recently. The 28-year-old seems to be taking on a larger role with his new club as he posted eight points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals across 29 minutes in a 109-103 overtime win over the Spurs on Tuesday. With Brown on the shelf, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could undoubtedly see an uptick in minutes during Thursday's contest.
The Toronto Raptors have traded guard/forward Bruce Brown to the New Orleans Pelicans. Brown, an NBA champion with the Denver Nuggets in 2023, was shipped out alongside Kelly Olynyk and a couple of draft picks for former All-Star Brandon Ingram. Toronto picked up Brown only 13 months ago from the Indiana Pacers. He ended up playing just 52 games for the team, missing the first couple of months in 2024-25 with a knee injury. Brown has averaged 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in the current campaign. A move to New Orleans might boost his numbers, as the Pelicans have battled injuries throughout the season. Brown is on a $23 million expiring contract.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (face) will play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. After being hit in the face during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Bruce did not practice on Monday and entered Tuesday with a questionable designation. However, he has been cleared for action. With RJ Barrett (concussion) unavailable, Brown could see a few extra shifts in the rotation. The veteran is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 19.9 minutes this season.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (face) has been labeled as questionable for Tuesday's clash against the New York Knicks. Brown was hit in the nose in Sunday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers and wasn't feeling well enough on Monday to practice. Ja'Kobe Walter stands to benefit from Brown's absence on Tuesday. The 20-year-old rookie has regained some momentum in recent games, scoring double-digit points in back-to-back outings. However, with Toronto's big guns all healthy, Walter is not someone fantasy managers can count on.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will be active against Detroit on Saturday. Brown missed Thursday's matchup against Cleveland for knee injury management purposes, but Toronto has not listed him on the injury report entering Saturday. Brown made his season debut only a couple of weeks ago and has averaged 5.4 points and 2.0 rebounds in five appearances. For once, the Raptors are fully healthy on Saturday, so fantasy managers should overlook Brown because his role on the team is limited.
Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will not play on Thursday against Cleveland. After playing in each of the last three games, Brown will sit out Thursday's action for knee management purposes. The 28-year-old has appeared in only five games this season, providing 5.4 points in 18.0 minutes, so he won't be a significant miss for the team. Rookie Ja'Kobe Walter might pick up some additional work on Thursday, but he has been quiet recently after the Raptors got their key players back from injury.
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) won't play on Wednesday against the Nets, his former team. The 28-year-old missed time to begin the 2024-25 campaign after undergoing knee surgery during the offseason. As a result, the team will play it safe by resting him on the second night of back-to-back contests. With that said, Brown has averaged only 9.0 points in 19.5 minutes in two games this season, so he hasn't drawn much attention on the fantasy end. However, he could see a bump in minutes moving forward. There's also a chance Brown will be traded. Either way, his ceiling may rise at some point this season, meaning fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress. With Immanuel Quickley (elbow), Gradey Dick (hamstring), and RJ Barrett (illness) questionable, one of those players could fill the void left by Brown's absence. But if none of them are available on Wednesday, Ja'Kobe Walter (finger) and Ochai Agbaji should benefit.
Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran began last season with the Pacers before being traded to the Raptors ahead of the deadline. He wasn't productive in Toronto in 2023-24, averaging only 9.6 points. If Brown is back, it will be his first game of the season. While that could mean he'll see limited minutes, he's worth monitoring for fantasy purposes in case he returns to form at some point moving ahead.
