7 Jaylen Brown SG

Brown had 22 points (9-19 FG, 0-3 3PT, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 140-133 win over the Wizards.

Brown endured a slow start to the season but seems to have turned things around of late. After missing three games between Oct. 30 and Nov. 5, Brown averages 22.3 points per game over his last four games while scoring at least 20 in each of his last three outings. He will aim to extend his solid run of form Friday at Golden State.

Brown collected 25 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes during Monday's 116-106 win over the Mavericks.

Brown logged his first double-double of the season while scoring at least 25 points for the third time through six appearances. He's been extremely efficient thus far, and while his field goal percentage may be unsustainably high at the moment, Brown is likely to take on an even larger role going forward with Gordon Hayward (hand) sidelined for an extended period of time.

Brown delivered 30 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's 135-115 win at San Antonio.

Brown led the Celtics with his 30 points, and he should be looking at a larger role in the offense now that Gordon Hayward (hand) is expected to miss some time. Boston had the lead throughout most of this game. Brown is in a contract year and now is the time to shine. Next up are the Mavs in Dallas on Monday night.

Brown had 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's 108-87 win over the Hornets.

Brown returned to the lineup following a three-game absence with an infection. While he was fairly quiet overall, it was at least an efficient showing. He'll look to build on this effort during Saturday's matchup versus the Spurs.

Brown (infection) says he's ready to go for Thursday's matchup against the Hornets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown hasn't played since the third game of the season due to an infection. His return may push Marcus Smart back to the bench. In his three appearances, Brown is averaging 17.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 block.

Brown (infection) is probable for Thursday's matchup against the Hornets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

After missing the past three games, it appears Brown will play Thursday. More information should emerge following Boston's morning shootaround. It's possible he re-joins the starting five, which would likely push Marcus Smart back to the bench.

Brown (infection) was able to work out Tuesday and there's a chance he could join the Celtics in Charlotte mid-road trip, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Brown will miss a third straight game Tuesday, but there's seems to be optimism regarding a return in the near future. More information should emerge prior to Thursday's game against the Hornets.

Brown (illness) won't travel with the Celtics for the start of their upcoming three-game road trip that begins Tuesday in Cleveland, Brian Robb of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Brown continues to recover from an infection and will remain in Boston to receive further treatment, but coach Brad Stevens is leaving the door open for the forward to rejoin the team in Charlotte on Thursday. After the game in Charlotte, the Celtics will wrap up their road swing with a trip to San Antonio on Saturday before returning home. Brown's ongoing absence will continue to open up a spot in the starting five for Marcus Smart.

Brown (illness) has been ruled out Friday against the Knicks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

As expected, Brown will sit out for a second straight contest as he continues to deal with an illness. Jayson Tatum will likely be looked at even more as a scoring option for Boston.

Brown (illness) did not join the team for shootaround and is considered doubtful-to-out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Brown appears likely to miss his second game in a row due to illness. Semi Ojeleye played a season-high 20 minutes when Brown sat Wednesday against the Bucks and could be in line for an increased role again if Brown remains out.

Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Brown missed Wednesday's game against the Bucks with an illness and still isn't feeling 100 percent. His status should clear up closer to tip-off; if Brown is unable to play, Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye could benefit from increased run.

Brown (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Bucks, Tom Westerholm of MassLive.com reports.

Brown is dealing with an undisclosed illness and will miss at least one game as a result. Marcus Smart is a candidate to start in his place Wednesday, while Grant Williams and Semi Ojeleye could also see an uptick in minutes. Brown's next chance to play will come Friday against the Knicks.

Brown scored 25 points (11-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Friday's 112-106 win over the Raptors.

He tied Jayson Tatum for the team lead in scoring. Brown's role in the Boston offense remains somewhat uncertain, and on many nights he'll take a back seat to Kemba Walker and Tatum, but the fourth-year guard has the talent to deliver big performances on a more consistent basis if he gets a chance.

Brown posted eight points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 107-93 season-opening loss at Philadelphia.

Brown started, but early foul trouble limited the wing to 21 minutes of run. Marcus Smart, who started 60 games last year, came off the bench and played 33 minutes. Of concern was Brown's poor free throw shooting. The sample size is obviously tiny, but after three seasons of mid-60's accuracy from the charity stripe, Boston would like to see some improvement in that regard.

Brown signed a four-year, $115 million contract extension with the Celtics on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Brown will remain with the Celtics through the 2023-24 season following this extension, which comes on the eve of Opening Night. The soon-to-be 23-year-old took a slight step back in his junior season, posting averages of 13.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 25.9 minutes per game, but is a candidate to see an increased role this year following the offseason departures of Kyrie Irving, Terry Rozier and Al Horford.

Brown will not play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Cavaliers, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports.

Brown is one of several Celtics regulars who did not make the trip to Cleveland, so expect a number of reserves and deep bench players to be in line for increased playing time.

Brown tallied 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 100-75 preseason victory over the Magic.

Brown contributed across the board in the blowout victory, continuing his strong preseason. Brown has found it difficult to reach any great heights over the course of his short career, at least from a fantasy perspective. There is no indication that will change but he is still very young and he is going to be given plenty of opportunities.

Brown contributed 18 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 123-116 Game 3 loss to the Bucks.

Brown turned in a solid stat line, contributing across every category despite fouling out. He has reached double figures in scoring in five consecutive bouts while draining at least 50.0 percent of his field goal attempts in five of the last six. With Marcus Smart (oblique) still out, Brown can be expected to keep receiving fairly heavy minutes at least until Smart returns.

Brown totaled 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes in the Celtics' loss to the Bucks on Tuesday.

Brown continued his solid play as a starter on Tuesday, finishing second on his team in scoring and chipping in some solid counting numbers. He's been on an offensive resurgence recently, averaging 17.8 points per game on 59.1 percent shooting from the floor and 50.0 percent from downtown in his last four contests.

Brown finished with 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and four rebounds across 36 minutes in the Celtics' win over the Bucks on Sunday.

Brown garnered his sixth consecutive start on Sunday, finishing with 19 points in the surprise win. In his five previous starts, Brown averaged 11.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists, making him a flyer in daily formats for points. His fantasy value is limited primarily to scoring.
