Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) won't suit up for Friday's clash with the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old has been on-and-off the injury report of late because of a knee injury. He was last on the court for Saturday's win over the Nets. However, Brown wasn't available when both clubs met again on Tuesday night. Al Horford moved into the starting lineup. Yet, it was Baylor Scheierman who stole the show, with the rookie finishing with 20 points while shooting 6-for-7 from behind the arc. Scheierman should remain in the rotation, although fantasy managers shouldn't expect a duplicate showing. Instead, Payton Pritchard should benefit the most in the scoring department behind Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis.
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) will not suit up for Tuesday's action against the Brooklyn Nets. Brown made an early exit against the Nets on Saturday due to back spasms but is again on the injury report with a right knee posterior impingement. The 2024 NBA Finals MVP has regularly played through the injury in recent weeks, but he will take the night off on Tuesday. Sam Hauser is likely to grab Brown's spot in the starting lineup, while Payton Pritchard will have an opportunity to contribute more off the bench. Over his previous 14 starts this season, Hauser has averaged 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds.
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. A minor knee issue will keep him sidelined for the second time this month. Brown's absence will increase the offensive opportunities for the rest of the starting lineup, while Payton Pritchard is expected to see more action in the rotation. The last time Brown was out of the lineup, Pritchard went for 19 points, six assists, and two steals in 32 minutes.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat. He's been bothered by a knee issue and wasn't available for the win over the 76ers on March 6. But despite landing on the injury report ahead of the C's previous three contests, Brown has been out there, although he had only 10 points in the 118-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday evening. Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Jayson Tatum (knee), and Derrick White (knee) are also questionable. As a result, Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard, and Sam Hauser might see more scoring opportunities versus a Miami team that has lost five-straight contests.
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is good to go for Wednesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. A knee problem initially left Brown with a probable tag entering Wednesday, but the team has upgraded his status to available. Since the All-Star break, Brown has boosted his scoring output to 25.3 points per game, although his three-point efficiency has dropped to 30.2 percent. On Wednesday, scoring won't be easy for Brown and his gang, as the Thunder boast the league's best defensive rating.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is expected to play on Wednesday versus OKC. Unlike Jayson Tatum (knee) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), who are both questionable, Brown is probable, so fantasy managers will likely see him on the floor. He is coming off a stellar showing, amassing 26 points, eight boards, seven assists, three steals, and one block in Monday's win over Utah. If Tatum and Porzingis aren't available, Brown should remain the primary scoring option for the C's against a Thunder team that has allowed only 106.9 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign, the second-best mark in the NBA.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is off the injury report heading into Saturday's showdown with the Lakers. He wasn't available for Thursday's win over the Philadelphia 76ers. Jayson Tatum, who had 35 points, moved over to the three, with Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet entering the starting lineup. But with Brown back in the equation and Al Horford also off the injury report, Queta and Kornet will head back to the bench, virtually eliminating both of their fantasy potential.
Jaylen Brown Unavailable For Thursday's Matchup With Philadelphia
According to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com, Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) won't play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday due to a right knee posterior impingement. Thursday's contest for the Celtics is the second half of back-to-back games. Despite feeling under the weather, the 28-year-old logged 40 minutes and posted 18 points, eight rebounds and eight assists on Wednesday versus the Blazers. Payton Pritchard will see plenty of minutes on the floor with Brown and many of the club's key players on the shelf. Pritchard should be on fantasy managers' radar as the 27-year-old sharpshooter has finished with 20 points in five of his last six outings.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (illness) will play against Portland on Wednesday. He had 22 points, eight assists, two steals, and two blocks in Sunday's win over the Denver Nuggets. However, the 28-year-old has been dealing with an illness, resulting in a questionable tag heading into Wednesday night. Fortunately, Brown is good to go. With Jayson Tatum (shoulder), Jrue Holiday (finger), and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) all sidelined, Brown has an excellent chance to lead the way on the scoring end. Derrick White (back) and Payton Pritchard (hip), who are both available, should also be more involved on both sides of the ball.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The Celtics injury report is starting to pile up, so hopefully Brown won't be forced to miss this game. If he does sit, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard figure to both see increased roles in the rotation. Pritchard has been putting together some decent performances lately and is certainly on the streaming radar.
