Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been listed as questionable again for their Monday night contest against the Boston Celtics. He's still dealing with a bone bruise on his right knee which has caused him to miss one game so far. The former NBA Champ had a five-game sideline stint before playing two games and suffering the bone bruise. In the game that he missed against the Celtics, the Pacers lost by 17, so they'd welcome him back in a big way if he can play. If he remains on the sidelines, however, Buddy Hield and Bennedict Mathurin will both see added opportunities. Both of them would be quality streaming options, especially since Andrew Nembhard (back) also may not suit up.

Indiana Pacers forward Bruce Brown (knee) returned from a five-game absence on Wednesday but is back on the injury report due to a bone bruise on his right knee. Brown has been consistently healthy over the last two seasons, so these issues have come as a bit of a surprise. The bone bruise may not be severe enough to force him to miss Friday's game, so fantasy managers will want to check back after shootaround for any updates. If he doesn't suit up though, Bennedict Mathurin and Obi Toppin would likely see some more minutes while Andrew Nembhard (questionable - back) could start if he is upgraded to active.

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) will rejoin the team's lineup on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown has missed five consecutive games due to a right knee bone bruise, but he will be back on Wednesday for the first time since Dec. 21. The 27-year-old Swiss Army knife's productivity has fluctuated in Indiana's top-ranked offense with a plethora of weapons around him, but he is still accumulating 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 threes per game. Brown does rank second on the Pacers with 30.7 minutes a night. Despite the possibility of a slight minutes cap against the Bucks, Brown should be activated and started in most season-long nine-category fantasy leagues in a game that boasts the highest implied point total (257.5) of Wednesday's huge 12-game slate.

Indiana Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle spoke on the injury to guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) on Tuesday, hinting that he could return on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brown hasn't been seen on the floor since Dec. 21 with a right knee bone bruise. The Pacers begin a five-game homestand on Wednesday, so Brown should have a good opportunity to return from his absence at some stage during this swing. The position-less 27-year-old has gotten lost in the shuffle at times in the No. 1 Pacers offense with so many scoring options around him, but he is still chipping in 11.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 threes per game and should be rostered in most nine-category fantasy leagues. With Andrew Nembhard (back) doubtful versus the Bucks, Aaron Nesmith, Bennedict Mathurin, and Buddy Hield would all be asked to step up if Brown remains sidelined as well.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward RJ Barrett debuted for the team with a 19-point, nine-rebound effort in a 124-121 win over Cleveland on Monday. He shot an efficient 6-for-12 from the field and 6-for-8 at the line in 29 minutes as a starter. It was a solid debut for Barrett, who was 1-for-2 with the three-ball, but he had trouble handling the ball and committed five of the team's 11 turnovers. Barrett should clean up the turnovers once he's better adjusted to his new teammates. He typically doesn't do much else besides scoring, but Barrett celebrated his first appearance with his hometown team with a season-high in rebounding and should get plenty of confidence from the positive start.
