7 Jaylen Brown SG

Brown registered 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 111-82 win over the Bulls.

Brown didn't play his usual workload in this one, but he didn't need to with the Celtics up big. That being said, he was extremely efficient in his time on the court, a welcoming sign for the next few games to come that he can keep his hot hand going.

Brown managed 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, and one assist in 38 minutes during Thursday's 116-109 victory over Phoenix.

Brown scored 17 points Thursday, his fifth consecutive game scoring in double-digits. Brown is a steady source of points in any fantasy league but offers very little outside of that. His lack of peripheral stats severely limit his upside and despite his starting role, he is not really a must-roster player in standard leagues.

Brown acknowledged that he's still dealing with pain in his feet, but he'll be available for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown is battling a condition called metatarsalgia, and he said he's changing the orthotics in his shoes in an attempt to combat the pain. The versatile guard indicated that he'll "be alright" for Monday, but the issue is something to monitor, as it caused him to miss Thursday's win over Milwaukee. Brown returned to action Saturday in Indianapolis, finishing with 12 points, seven rebounds and a pair of blocks in 31 minutes.

Brown (foot) will play Saturday against the Pacers, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

As expected, Brown will take the floor Saturday after a one-game absence Thursday against Milwaukee. He's in line to reclaim his starting spot from Semi Ojeleye.

Brown (foot) said he plans to play Saturday against the Pacers, Adam Himmeslbach of the Boston Globe reports.

A sore foot kept Brown out of Thursday's win over the Bucks, but the injury was never considered to be overly serious. Barring a setback, expect Brown to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, pushing Semi Ojeleye back to the bench. In his last game Tuesday against Dallas, Brown had 14 points, five rebounds, three assists, a steal, a block and one made three.
