Wed Apr 3 | 18:23 | Jaylen Brown Available Against OKC |
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. |

Tue Apr 2 | 17:05 | Jaylen Brown Questionable Against Thunder |
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. |

Mon Apr 1 | 16:56 | Jaylen Brown Sitting Out Against Hornets |
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. |

Sun Mar 31 | 20:41 | Jaylen Brown Receives Questionable Tag For Monday |
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. |

Fri Mar 22 | 18:56 | Jaylen Brown Available On Friday |
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is available for Friday's game against Detroit. He has been dealing with a right ankle injury for the last few weeks. However, the 27-year-old hasn't missed much time because of it and recently scored 21 points in 37 minutes in the narrow win over Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Despite playing the worst team in the National Basketball Association, Brown will not be resting his ankle on Friday. |

Thu Mar 21 | 18:10 | Jaylen Brown May Not Play Friday |
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Detroit. He's dealing with a right ankle injury, something that's bothered him for the last few weeks. However, the 27-year-old hasn't missed much time because of it and recently scored 21 points in 37 minutes in the narrow win over the Bucks on Wednesday night. The Celtics have a firm grasp on the top spot in the Eastern Conference. But considering Boston plays consecutive contests on Friday and Saturday, there's a good chance Brown sits out versus the worst team in the National Basketball Association. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) already ruled out, Payton Pritchard will likely slide into the starting lineup. If that's the case, Pritchard will be a value option for DFS managers, especially after coming off a 19-point showing. |

Wed Mar 20 | 18:16 | Jaylen Brown Good To Go On Wednesday |
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) has been cleared to play Wednesday versus the Bucks. He's missed a couple of games recently with health issues but is good to go for a second consecutive contest on Wednesday. Brown has averaged only 18.0 points against Milwaukee this season, but he's been in much better form recently and has a chance to post a third consecutive 30-point effort. He's averaging 29.8 points for the month, along with 6.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 steals. |

Tue Mar 19 | 22:41 | Jaylen Brown On The Injury Report For Wednesday |
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Eastern Conference clash with the Bucks. He's dealing with a sprained right ankle. However, the injury isn't new, with Brown missing two of the C's previous four games. That said, Boston has a comfortable lead on Milwaukee in the standings, so Brown can afford to take another night off. But with Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Sam Hauser (ankle) questionable, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, and Kristaps Porzingis might pick up more scoring opportunities. Payton Pritchard, coming off a 23-point performance, might also see some interest from DFS managers looking for a low-cost, high-upside addition to their lineups. |

Mon Mar 18 | 19:05 | Jaylen Brown Ready To Go On Monday |
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) will return from a one-game absence on Monday versus Detroit. The three-time All-Star sat out Sunday's matchup against Washington with a right ankle sprain and was initially listed as questionable for Monday before the team upgraded him to available. It's Jayson Tatum's (ankle) turn to rest on Monday, meaning we should see Brown a lot with the ball, and it's a great matchup for him to keep his recent momentum going. Brown has almost been like a different player since the All-Star break, posting 28.9 points with 40.6 percent shooting from deep. |

Mon Mar 18 | 16:03 | Jaylen Brown Questionable With Ankle Sprain |
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Brown sat out the back end of Boston's back-to-back on March 11 and March 12 due to a sprained right ankle, and he missed the first part of their current set of two games in consecutive days during Sunday's shellacking of the Washington Wizards. With that said, the All-Star swingman should have a good shot of playing in this one. If the Celtics opt to keep Brown out against an awful Pistons team and make Jayson Tatum (ankle) available, however, the latter is averaging 28.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 3.2 threes, and 1.8 swipes over six games without the former in 2023-24 and would be one of the top fantasy plays on Monday's eight-game slate against the Association's fifth-worst defense in terms of efficiency rating (116.3). |

Sun Mar 17 | 12:09 | Jaylen Brown Won't Play On Sunday |
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Washington. Brown is coming off a massive performance, amassing 37 points in Thursday's win over the Phoenix Suns. But he'll sit out on Sunday, marking his seventh absence of the 2023-24 campaign. Jayson Tatum (ankle), who also has a right ankle injury, is good to go and will presumably pick extra scoring chances with Brown ruled out. There's also room for Sam Hauser or Payton Pritchard to enter the starting lineup, putting them on the radar for DFS managers. The Celtics will meet Detroit on Monday, another of the NBA's worst teams. As a result, Brown may also miss that contest in preparation for Wednesday's clash with the Milwaukee Bucks. |

Thu Mar 14 | 17:55 | Jaylen Brown Will Play On Thursday |
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) will suit up for Thursday's matchup against Phoenix. The 27-year-old has battled multiple issues of late, including a sacroiliac strain. But his most recent ailment, a hip contusion, jeopardized his chances of playing versus the Suns. Of course, Brown should be starting in all fantasy formats. However, his availability means Sam Hauser, who had 14 points, five rebounds, two blocks, and one steal in Tuesday's win over the Utah Jazz, will head back to the bench, taking most of his fantasy upside with him. |

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hip) is questionable for Thursday's showdown with the Suns. The 27-year-old had been battling a sacroiliac strain. However, he's now bothered by a hip contusion. Brown wasn't available on Sunday in the win over the Utah Jazz. Sam Hauser got the start, as expected, and finished with 14 points, five rebounds, two blocks, and one steal. With this in mind, Hauser will remain a popular DFS value option if Brown misses another game. |

Tue Mar 12 | 15:28 | Jaylen Brown Sitting Out Against Jazz |
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. |

Sun Mar 10 | 21:01 | Jaylen Brown On The Injury Report For Monday |
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. |

Sat Mar 9 | 19:13 | Jaylen Brown Good To Go Saturday |
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. |

Sat Mar 9 | 07:58 | Jaylen Brown Carrying Questionable Tag Saturday |
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. |

Fri Mar 8 | 10:11 | Jaylen Brown Scores 41 Points In Losing Effort |
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. |

Wed Mar 6 | 19:47 | Jaylen Brown Tagged As Questionable For Thursday |
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is a new injury as Brown has been dealing with a knee problem lately. Luckily, the knee issue appears to be behind him, so hopefully this new pelvic strain won't be a long-term issue. Sam Hauser or Al Horford will be asked to move into the starting five if Brown is unable to play. Whoever starts would be worth looking at as a possible streaming option on Thursday. |
