Boston Celtics

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is available versus the Phoenix Suns. He's coming off an impressive showing, amassing 41 points, 14 rebounds, and two steals in Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets. Brown popped up on the injury report because of a sacroiliac strain, and while it won't keep him off the floor on Saturday, it's still something that likely won't go away anytime soon. The 27-year-old has averaged 16.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 10 meetings with the Suns throughout his career. Those numbers keep him starting in all season-long fantasy lineups. On the other hand, Brown could have a tough time hitting value in DFS contests, even if Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is ultimately ruled out.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play on Saturday night versus the Suns. He logged 39 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, so the ankle issue likely isn't anything serious. But at least fantasy managers can plan accordingly, although Tatum's condition is still worth monitoring moving forward. The 26-year-old has averaged 19.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 11 career meetings against the Suns, all down from his average this season. However, Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is questionable, which could open the door for more scoring chances. Either way, Tatum remains a must-start in all formats.

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has been listed as probable for Saturday's big matchup against Phoenix. He's on the injury report with right ankle impingement. Tatum should be able to shake off the probable tag before the game. He's had a couple of poor shooting nights on the bounce and must be eager to get going again this weekend. Strangely, Tatum has boosted his three-point percentage by nearly 10 percent to 45.3 since the All-Star break, but he's averaging fewer points. A meeting against a side that's allowing the 10th-most three-point attempts in the league looks like a good spot to kick back into gear.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Saturday's fascinating matchup against Phoenix. The Boston star is dealing with a sacroiliac strain, putting him in danger of missing his sixth game of the season. However, Brown was also questionable to face Denver on Thursday night and was completely fine for the contest, logging 41 minutes and posting new season-highs in points (41) and rebounds (14). It looks like he will likely be good to go on Saturday, with Boston desperate to bounce back from two consecutive losses.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown put up a season-high in the NBA Finals rematch that ended up in another Denver Nuggets win by six points. Brown posted 41 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, two steals, and two turnovers while shooting 16-for-29 overall and 2-for-7 from beyond the arc. He's been on a huge run over the last seven games and has been contributing in a lot more than just scoring. In that span, he's averaging 28.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.4 turnovers per game. Brown has been able to get his more often than not, even though this roster is the most stacked it's been throughout his time in the NBA so far.
