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.

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.

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.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has shaken off a questionable tag and will be available for Tuesday's contest against the Cavaliers. He has overcome a left knee contusion to make his sixth consecutive appearance. Brown needed only 22 minutes of action on Sunday to record a 29-point outing against Golden State, and his offensive output has greatly improved since the All-Star break. In five games following the All-Star weekend, Brown has averaged 27.2 points with 45.2 percent shooting from deep. His shots from downtown haven't dropped well in two prior meetings with the Cavaliers this season, but he's still posted 23.5 points.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is carrying a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's fascinating matchup against the Cavaliers. He's on the injury report with a left knee contusion. The injury doesn't sound serious, but it could force Brown out of the lineup for the third time in 12 games. Sam Hauser and Al Horford have picked up starts during Brown's most recent absences. Both players might end up in the starting unit on Tuesday, as Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) is also considered questionable for the game. Horford has done a lot better compared to Hauser in a starting role. The 26-year-old sniper has only given a slight boost to his numbers as a starter, putting up 8.8 points with 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown didn't appear on the injury report heading into their first game fresh off of the All-Star break. Brown and the Celtics will take on a battered and bruised Chicago Bulls team on Thursday. This presents a great matchup for fantasy managers who have a lot of stock in the Celtics as their whole typical rotation is expected to be good to go for this one. Brown was able to participate in the dunk contest and All-Star game this past weekend, so it seems his shoulder issue from last week should be a thing of the past. He'll be a must-start player as he remains in the starting five with the usual faces.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (shoulder) finished as the third-highest scorer of this year's All-Star Game in Indianapolis on Sunday, producing 36 points in 22 minutes off the bench for the Eastern squad in a 211-186 win. Brown missed the final game ahead of the All-Star break with a shoulder issue, but he took part in Saturday's dunk contest and didn't appear to be limited in any way on Sunday either, hitting 15-for-23 from the field and 6-for-12 from outside. Brown's form has been shaky lately, as he's averaged only 16.0 points for the month, but Sunday's performance should be a good confidence booster for him ahead of the final couple of months of the season.

The Boston Celtics have removed forward Jaylen Brown (back) from their injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Atlanta Hawks. After practicing on Tuesday, per The Athletic's Aaron Weiss, Brown is cleared to play in the sixth outing of a seven-game homestand following a one-game absence in Sunday's easy win over the Memphis Grizzlies with tightness in his lower back. The 27-year-old All-Star's usage has taken a slight dip in a loaded Celtics lineup during 2023-24, but he's still floating around fantasy's top 50 in points leagues with averages of 22.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 2.0 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals over 46 games. Wednesday's contest holds blowout risk in Boston's favor, but Brown is in a great spot against a Hawks team that ranks 29th in opponent field-goal percentage (50.3%) this season.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee) isn't seen on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. Brown required a one-game absence due to a hyperextended right knee, sitting out Monday's win over the Toronto Raptors. 19-0 at TD Garden, the Celtics should be massive favorites at home against a 7-32 Spurs squad, perhaps allowing them to manage Brown's minutes if they're carrying a big lead late. San Antonio is giving up the fourth-most points per game (121.4) this season, and Brown has caught fire over his last five games with averages of 29.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.4 three-pointers in 32.7 minutes since Jan. 6. Al Horford logged his third double-double of the season in Monday's start and would figure to revert back to Boston's bench, but each of Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Jrue Holiday (elbow), and Derrick White (ankle) are questionable on Wednesday.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (knee), who was reportedly inactive during the morning shootaround, will not play in Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day game against the Toronto Raptors. Dealing with a hyperextended right knee, Brown should be considered day-to-day ahead of his next chance to suit up on Wednesday versus the San Antonio Spurs. The 27-year-old two-time All-Star is heating up over his last five games, averaging 29.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 threes, and 2.2 assists in 32.7 minutes since Jan. 6. The Raptors have been forced to play smaller lineups with Jakob Poeltl (ankle) on the sidelines, so Sam Hauser might be a more likely replacement for Brown than Al Horford in Boston's starting five on Monday. Horford has been more productive as a starter this season, however, averaging 9.0 points, 7.7 boards, and 3.7 dimes across 14 games with the first unit.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is back on the injury report ahead of Monday's clash with Toronto. He's considered questionable for the contest due to right knee hyperextension. Al Horford or Sam Hauser should get the start if Brown can't play on Monday. It's also worth noting that Kristaps Porzingis had his best game as a Celtic with Brown out last month against Detroit, and Jayson Tatum always gets a usage boost without him as well.

Boston Celtics guards Jaylen Brown (back) and Jrue Holiday (elbow) have both been listed as questionable for their Friday night game against the Toronto Raptors. The starting backcourt along with Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (calf) have all been listed as questionable or doubtful. After making sure they weren't the team to end the Detroit Pistons' losing streak, they might get the night off for the second game of a back-to-back. If both members of the starting backcourt are sidelined, Payton Pritchard will move into the starting lineup alongside Derrick White while Sam Hauser will likely play either shooting guard or small forward.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (back) will take a seat for the first time since Nov. 15 during Thursday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. The Celtics are massive favorites against a woeful Pistons team, giving them the luxury of offering Brown a breather due to a lower back contusion in this favorable situation. Brown's numbers are mostly down across the board in Boston's stacked lineup this year, but the 27-year-old two-way superstar is still providing a strong 22.6 points, 3.6 assists, 2.1 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals per game. Thursday is the first leg of a back-to-back, so the Celts could have an eye toward Brown returning on Friday against the Toronto Raptors for Atlantic Division action. Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play against Detroit and should take on extra usage, while Al Horford and Sam Hauser represent the most likely candidates to jump into head coach Joe Mazzulla's starting five.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (back) is considered questionable for Thursday's encounter with the Pistons. He suffered a lower back contusion in a collision with LeBron James on Monday. Brown had no trouble finishing the game against the Lakers, but he is in danger of missing his second contest of the season. Sam Hauser is in line to step into the starting lineup if Brown can't play. The 26-year-old sniper has been limited to just 7.0 points in three previous starts this season, but he can get on a roll quickly from downtown and could cause some serious damage against a team that has lost 27 games on the bounce.

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has popped up on the injury report with a different ailment aside from the ankle that has bothered him for a while. According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Brown has been tagged as questionable with right knee hypertension. Seeing as this is a new injury, it might point to a missed game if we don't get any promising news out of shootaround and warmups. The star wing was able to play the entire game during their win over the Cavaliers on Thursday, so the second half of a back-to-back might not be the best time to test the knee. If he has to stay on the sidelines, Derrick White should see a boost in value while Payton Pritchard will likely see added time too.
