7 Jaylen Brown SG

Brown tallied 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 125-113 Game 6 loss to Miami.

Brown was fantastic in a losing effort, dropping a team-high 26 points and continuing his tremendous postseason. While his partner in crime, Jayson Tatum, often receives the bulk of the praise, Brown has to be recognized for what he has brought to the table over the past two months. The arrow is firmly pointed up for Brown and he is going to command a somewhat lofty fantasy draft pick when the league reconvenes, whenever that might be.

Brown delivered 28 points (12-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and a steal over 39 minutes in Friday's 121-108 Eastern Conference finals Game 5 win.

Brown was the only Celtic who played well during the first quarter and kept them in the game throughout a bleak-looking first half for Boston. And then Brown and the other Boston starters exploded for a 41-point third quarter that swung the lead in Boston's favor. Brown and Jayson Tatum frequently played a hot two-man game, creating open shots for each other during the paramount third period. Brown played a complete game on both ends for all four quarters and earned a much deserved "Tommy Award" from NBC Sports Boston. The Celtics are still down 3-2 in the series and will try to keep their season alive in Game 6 on Sunday.

Brown went for 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's Game 4 loss against the Heat.

Brown has topped the 20-point mark in each of the last three games of the series, shooting 60 percent from the field and 53.8 percent from three-point range during that span. He remains Boston's second-best scoring option behind Jayson Tatum, and fantasy players have to appreciate his contributions in rebounds, steals and threes as well.

Brown exploded for 26 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block over 43 minutes in Saturday's 117-106 Eastern Conference finals Game 3 win over Miami.

Brown was extremely aggressive all game, applied exhausting defensive ball pressure, and frequently, forcefully drove to the bucket for high percentage shots. While much was made of Gordon Hayward's helpful return (ankle), it was Brown who led Boston to victory. The Celtics, via Brown, seemed to determine that the way to break Miami's zone defense was to drive to the hoop and either shoot or dish to the corners. Brown's aggressiveness continued through all four quarters, in sharp contrast to Boston's up-and-down play in Games 1 and 2. Brown and his teammates now have a long wait before taking the court Wednesday for Game 4.

Brown totaled 21 points (10-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, four steals and two assists in 43 minutes of Friday's 92-87 win over Toronto.

Brown had an awful night from beyond the arc but was effective from close up in the series-deciding game. He was shaken up briefly late in the game with a leg/ankle injury but played through it. The 23-year-old averaged 20.7 points and 8.7 rebounds in the series and will try to keep it going against Miami in the Eastern Conference finals starting Tuesday night.

Brown had 31 points (11-30 FG, 4-13 3PT, 5-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two steals in Wednesday's Game 6 double-overtime loss to Toronto.

Brown led the way for Boston, which got 29 points from Jayson Tatum and 23 from Marcus Smart, but it wasn't enough to hold off a late Raptors run in the second overtime period. In 51 minutes, Brown set new season highs in both field-goal attempts and three-point attempts.

Brown racked up 27 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and three steals in Monday's Game 5 win over Toronto.

Two nights after the Raptors evened up the series at 2-2, Boston bounced back with a dominant Game 5. Brown led all scorers with 27 points, hitting 10 field goals and finishing plus-19 in 37 minutes.

Brown scored 19 points (9-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), and added 12 rebounds, four blocks and two assists in 40 minutes of Thursday's 104-103 Game 3 loss to the Raptors.

Brown contributed his best offensive effort of the playoffs thus far although it wasn't enough for the win in the end. The 23-year-old is averaging 19.7 points across seven playoff games this season. He'll look to keep rolling in Game 4 on Saturday.

Brown produced 16 points (5-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks over 36 minutes in Tuesday's 102-99 Game 2 win over Toronto.

While Brown generated a solid offensive effort, it was his defensive play that really stood out. Brown was a major reason Raptors star Pascal Siakam shot 6-of-16 from the field. Brown's three steals highlighted a Boston defensive effort that once again held Toronto below 100 points. Boston, up 2-0, will try to keep the positive momentum going Thursday for Game 3 versus Toronto.

Brown had 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists in Sunday's Game 1 win over Toronto.

Boston blitzed Toronto in the first quarter and never looked back, and Brown helped lead the way as one of six Celtics players in double figures. He converted three of his team-high nine attempts from deep and finished as a plus-10 in 31 minutes.

Brown notched 21 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 42 minutes during Friday's 102-94 Game 3 win over the Sixers,

Brown was Boston's second-leading scorer in Game 2, but he struggled badly from the field Friday, with his eight free throws bailing out his scoring total. However, Brown has been one of the most important players for the Celtics this season, and they'll continue relying on him throughout the playoffs.

Brown scored 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT) while adding five rebounds, an assist and a block in only 28 minutes during Wednesday's 128-101 Game 2 win over the 76ers.

Brown was dealing with a minor thigh problem ahead of Game 2, but that didn't slow him down, as he reached the 20-point plateau for the second straight playoff game despite a subpar shooting night from long range. Looking ahead, Brown should see a slight increase in his usage rate with Gordon Hayward out for the next few weeks due to an ankle injury.

Brown (thigh) will play in Wednesday's Game 2 against Philadelphia, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Brown's status was never in much doubt, but he was dealing with a minor thigh issue that landed him on the injury report. Expect Brown to be available for his usual workload as Boston enters Game 2 without Gordon Hayward (ankle).

Brown is considered probable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Sixers due to a bruised right thigh.

The issue doesn't look to be anything of concern, and it certainly didn't hamper Brown during Monday's Game 1, when he posted 29 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 39 minutes. With Gordon Hayward (ankle) out for the foreseeable future, Brown could be tasked with handling more of the offensive burden.

Brown delivered 29 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals over 39 minutes in Monday's 109-101 Game 1 win over Philadelphia.

Brown was an efficient shooter all night and was particularly clutch in the fourth quarter. He and Kemba Walker were tied for second in Boston shot attempts (16) behind Tatum's 21 shots. Brown's three-pointers in the final term helped Boston bounce back from a brief, late third-quarter deficit. On the defensive side, Brown shut down Tobias Harris, who only scored six points on seven attempts. Brown may need to contribute even more in Game 2 on Wednesday with the possible absence of Gordon Hayward (ankle).

Brown will rest for Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Brown is one of six key players not taking the court for Boston in the seeding game finale. Plenty of deep bench players should see extended run, including Tremont Waters, Javonte Green, Carsen Edwards and Brad Wanamaker in the backcourt.

Brown generated 21 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 149-115 win over Brooklyn.

Brown led the Celtics in scoring on a night when they blew out a depleted Nets squad. He's been shooting well across four games in the Orlando bubble, hitting 46.4 percent of his field-goal attempts and making 3.5 threes per game at a 43.8 percent clip. With the Celtics doing their best to rest star Kemba Walker (knee), they're looking to Brown, Jayson Tatum and Gordon Hayward to fill the void. Brown will look to stay hot from three-point land when the team is back in action Friday against the Raptors.

Brown registered 18 points (9-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-106 loss against the Heat.

Brown has been scorching hot since the league restarted July 31 and, in fact, this 18-point effort was his lowest-scoring performance in Orlando. It also ended a streak of eight straight games where Brown scored 20 or more points, a stat that shows he has firmly cemented his place as one of the Celtics' better scoring options.

Brown delivered 30 points (10-18 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two steals across 37 minutes in Sunday's 128-124 win over the Trail Blazers.

Brown was red hot from behind the arc, helping Boston succeed while keeping Kemba Walker's (knee) minutes low. Brown shot with authority as things got tight in the fourth quarter despite big early leads for the Celtics. Some of Brown's threes were a foot or two from behind the three point line. Youngsters Brown and Jayson Tatum (34 points) will be expected to carry the load while Boston keeps Walker fresh for the playoffs. Brown and the Celtics next face the Heat on Tuesday for a game with big seeding implications.

Brown produced 22 points (6-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal over 34 minutes in Friday's 119-112 loss to the Bucks in Orlando.

Brown was able to finish the game, despite having five fouls for most of the fourth quarter. With Kemba Walker (knee) on a minutes restriction for most of these seeding games in Orlando, more shots will be available for Brown, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart. Most of the Celtics struggled with their shot. Boston shot only 40.7 percent from the field in this, the team's first regular-season game in the Orlando bubble. Brown and his teammates will look to turn things around Sunday versus Portland.
