Jaylen Brown DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is off the injury report and ready to play in Thursday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. A sore right knee kept Brown out from a couple of games ahead of the All-Star break. Sam Hauser started during his absence and will head back to the second unit on Thursday. Payton Pritchard's workload will likely drop as well, especially with Jrue Holiday (shoulder) also returning to the Celtics lineup. Brown has averaged 22.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.5 steals in the matchup against Philadelphia this campaign.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, sidelining him for a second consecutive game. With Brown unavailable, Sam Hauser looks set for his ninth start of the season. In a starting role this year, he has averaged 11.4 points and 3.0 rebounds, hitting 3.3 three-pointers per game. Hauser's fantasy value relies significantly on his ability to make three-pointers, and Wednesday's matchup looks favorable for him since the Spurs are one of 14 teams that have allowed at least 38 three-point attempts per game this season.
