Jaylen Brown DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (pelvis) will miss Tuesday's tilt against the Utah Jazz. Brown was questionable ahead of Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns due to a sacroiliac strain before suiting up, but he won't be available for the final outing of a five-game road trip and the second end of Boston's back-to-back after playing 33 minutes during Monday's rout of the Portland Trail Blazers. Look for the star forward to have a good chance of returning for Thursday's battle with the Phoenix Suns. With Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) also out on Tuesday, Sam Hauser will likely be needed in the Celtics starting frontcourt. Over six games as a starter in 2023-24, the 26-year-old spot-up shooter is averaging 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers, and 2.2 assists.

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. He carried the same designation heading into Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns. However, the 2016 No. 3 overall pick still played and finished with 27 points and two steals. At any rate, Jayson Tatum (ankle), Derrick White (hand), and Jrue Holiday (knee) are also questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) will miss his second consecutive game. As a result, it's hard to gauge who will be available for the C's. But it's reasonable to assume guys like Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will have streaming value, so fantasy managers should grab one (or both) of them off the waiver wire.

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 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.
