Jaylen Brown's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hand) has been listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. The Celtics have a tendency to rest some of their starters when they go up against weaker competition, especially since they've clinched a playoff spot and have an 11-game cushion for the first seed. If Brown's hand doesn't feel completely ready, they likely won't rush him to the court with the playoffs right around the corner. If he doesn't suit up, Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser would both see some extra opportunities as one of them would join the starting lineup.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Chicago. Most had expected this would happen, considering he has been battling a right ankle issue, but was in the lineup for Friday's win over the Detroit Pistons. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) also sidelined, Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Derrick White could be the team's top performers. There's also a chance Al Horford (toe), Payton Pritchard, and Sam Hauser will exceed fantasy expectations.
