Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. The fact that the 60-16 Celtics have clinched the NBA's best record likely spells bad news for fantasy managers in the waning games of the season. Brown's next chance to return from a sprained left hand comes on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers, but Boston has no incentive to push the two-way All-Star swingman back into the fray. Either Al Horford or Sam Hauser should jump into the starting lineup on Friday. Over nine games without Brown in 2023-24, Hauser is averaging 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 4.1 three-pointers and is a good source of points and threes in fantasy against a Kings team yielding the seventh-most treys to opposing small forwards (2.9).
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) is considered questionable for Friday's tilt against Sacramento. Brown has revealed that he has a strained ligament in his left hand, but this didn't keep him from filling up the box score on Wednesday against Oklahoma City. The three-time All-Star has no plans to rest himself, but the team might use him sparingly over the final few games of the regular season, as Boston has already clinched the best record in the league. Al Horford filled in for Brown in the starting five in the most recent game he missed. The veteran could earn a promotion back to the first unit on Friday if Brown isn't in the lineup.
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) will play against the Thunder on Wednesday. The C's have upgraded Brown from questionable to available. Brown was in danger of missing a second consecutive game. His return means Al Horford will have to make a trip back to the bench. However, the former Thunder player should still be effective against a poor rebounding team. Brown himself struggled in this season's first meeting with OKC but has looked much better since the All-Star break. He averaged 27.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.5 steals through March.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hand) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. A sprained left hand cost Brown Monday's road victory over the Charlotte Hornets, and the two-way All-Star swingman hopes to be available for the first-place Celts in a duel against the West-leading Thunder. Boston's offense would run through Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis if he is out, but Sam Hauser has also benefitted in the past by averaging 13.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 4.1 threes over eight games without Brown in 2023-24. Although he likely wouldn't start with Al Horford settling in at power forward, Hauser would still be a decent source of points and triples in the fantasy finals against a Thunder squad giving up the ninth-most threes per game (13.4) this year.
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown will take a seat against an inferior opponent due to sprained left hand and set his sights toward returning to the court for Wednesday's showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Jayson Tatum will do the heavy lifting offensively on Monday, averaging a substantial 28.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals, and 3.3 threes in eight games without Brown during 2023-24. It's a potential smash spot against a Hornets team giving up the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing power forwards, but there's plenty of blowout risk in Boston's favor for DFS players to take into account.
