Rotowire

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Shows out offensively
Rotowire
Brown amassed 35 points (15-23 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-5 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 loss to the Hawks in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Brown took it upon himself to do the bulk of the scoring Tuesday, ending with a team-high 33 points. However, his teammates were unable to mirror his efforts, most notably Jayson Tatum, who went 1-of-10 from the perimeter en route to just 19 points. While the Celtics are still ahead 3-2 in the series, the Hawks have all the momentum heading back to Atlanta for Game 6. While Tatum is likely to bounce back after a couple of subpar performances, Brown is still going to have to be at his best should they hope to avoid a Game 7.

Brown (back) will not play Tuesday against the 76ers, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, but it remains to be seen if Brown will be cleared for Wednesday's game. Jayson Tatum can expect to see heavy usage Tuesday, and Derrick White could see a big boost in fantasy appeal.
