Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) will be in the lineup on Monday against Miami. He's back in action after missing Sunday's tilt against Cleveland with an illness. Brown was also in danger of missing Monday's game, as the team considered him questionable for the clash, but he has been upgraded to available. The reigning Finals MVP has been fairly inconsistent this month, but he should get plenty of shots up on Monday, with Boston missing many of its regulars.
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) is dealing with a non-COVID illness, which has landed him on the injury report as questionable to face the Miami Heat. He was unable to play in their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers as well, so the team will likely wait for warm-ups to see if he can give it a go. If he can't suit up, with Jayson Tatum (knee) and Derrick White (foot) questionable as well, Sam Hauser and Drew Peterson will likely step up again and receive some added playing time, especially with Jrue Holiday (knee) already ruled out. Hauser played 36 minutes in their last game and finished with 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, and three steals before fouling out.
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) is active for Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks and won't have any restrictions, per Celtics' coach Joe Mazzulla. Brown missed four games due to the hip issue but was able to play on Sunday against Milwaukee and is good to go for Boston's first game of the in-season tournament. Brown is a must-start in all fantasy formats. While there is a chance this game ends in a blowout with the Hawks missing Trae Young, fantasy managers may not need to worry as much about Brown sitting out minutes to end the game. With the NBA Cup tiebreakers focused on margin of victory, Boston pushed leads last season and could be expected to do the same this year. Ensure Brown is in your starting lineups prior to the 7:10 PM ET tip-off.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hip) will suit up for Sunday's contest versus the Bucks. The 28-year-old missed the Celtics' last four games because of a hip issue. There was talk he was moving in the right direction, although not many expected he'd be ready to go for this one. While there is a chance Brown could see fewer minutes than usual, he's a must-start, with his presence likely resulting in Neemias Queta losing any streaming value.
Jaylen Brown Has A Chance To Return Against Milwaukee
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game in Milwaukee. He's missed the C's previous four contests with a hip flexor strain, so his injury designation at least suggests he's moving in the right direction. Brown has had another quality season, averaging 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. With numbers like that, the 28-year-old should be starting in all fantasy formats, even if there's a chance he plays limited minutes in his first game back. But if Brown doesn't return on Sunday, Payton Pritchard, coming off a 20-point showing in Friday's overtime win over the Brooklyn Nets, could continue to surpass his usual production expectations.
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hip) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets while he continues to deal with a strained hip flexor. The All-NBA wing was considered day-to-day with the hip issue but will miss his fourth straight game. The Celtics have only lost once so far in that span, so Brown's absence hasn't been felt too much. While he's out, Payton Pritchard will continue to see big minutes while Sam Hauser gets more opportunities off of the bench.
According to Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla, forward Jaylen Brown (hip) is considered "day-to-day." He's dealing with a hip flexor strain and will miss his third consecutive contest when the C's play the Warriors on Wednesday. Without question, Brown has been a top fantasy producer this season, averaging 25.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Although he's shot a rough 26.7% from behind the arc, category managers hope to get him back on the floor, possibly as early as Friday's matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. In the meantime, Neemias Queta, coming off a 10-point, seven-rebound, one-block outing versus the Hawks on Monday night, has streaming potential.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hip) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 28-year-old last played on Friday in the win over the Charlotte Hornets. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined since with a hip flexor strain. It doesn't appear as if the injury is serious, so fantasy managers should stay optimistic. Without question, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Jrue Holiday should benefit without Brown in the lineup. However, Neemias Queta, who had 10 points, seven boards, one block, and one steal as a starter in Monday's win over the Hawks, is worth streaming.
Jaylen Brown Listed As Out For Monday Night's Matchup In Atlanta
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) is listed as out for Monday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Brown has been dealing with a left hip flexor strain that caused him to miss Friday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown has averaged 25.7 PPG and 7.2 RPG to start the season so a bit of production will be left off the table with his absence. In Saturday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets the Celtics inserted Al Horford into the starting lineup. Expect Horford to get another start on Monday against his former team, who will be on a rest advantage on the second leg of a back-to-back. Horford has averaged 7.7 PPG to start the season and may not be a great fantasy option on Monday night as he didn't score in his spot start on Saturday.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hip) won't play on Saturday against Charlotte. The Celtics and Hornets met on Friday night, the first of back-to-back games between the clubs, with Brown finishing the night by scoring 25 points, adding six rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. He's bothered by a hip flexor strain, so fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll play on Monday in Atlanta. But without Brown in the mix on Saturday, Sam Hauser (back), who is probable, is expected to enter the starting lineup, giving him a more promising outlook in all fantasy setups.
