Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown Officially Good To Go
Jayson Tatum (knee) and Jaylen Brown (knee) are both officially good to go for Wednesday night's game against the Miami Heat. Both players had been listed as probable going into the day, so it's not much of a surprise to see them both active. Both players were rested during the team's previous game against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. Expect them back in full force for Wednesday's contest. Make sure they're in your lineup for the night.

Jaylen Brown Available For Game 4
Jaylen Brown (knee) will play on Sunday versus Orlando. The right knee impingement isn't expected to go away anytime soon, so DFS managers will likely see him on the injury report for the rest of the postseason. But unless Brown suffers a setback along the way, he'll likely continue to see north of 30 minutes per contest. However, his presence should mean Sam Hauser, who would have been in line to start, will likely remain on the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Game 4
Jaylen Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's playoff clash with the Magic. Brown has been working through this knee injury over the last few weeks, so he'll likely be out there for Game 4, assuming he hasn't suffered a setback. With Jrue Holiday (hamstring) already ruled out, Al Horford is anticipated to stay in the starting lineup. But if Brown is downgraded, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard should receive more minutes, with Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, and Kristaps Porzingis the favorites to lead the way offensively.

Jaylen Brown Available For Friday Night's Game 3 Against Magic
Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled available for Friday night's Game 3 against the Orlando Magic. Brown hasn't missed any games this series and put up a strong performance in Game 2 with 36 points and 10 rebounds. He likely won't have that same level of production tonight given Jayson Tatum's return to the lineup, but fantasy managers and DFS players should expect him to have a productive night as long as confidence from Game 2 carries over.

Jaylen Brown Questionable For Game 3 On Friday
Jaylen Brown (knee) was a late addition to the injury report for Game 3 against the Orlando Magic, and his status was set at questionable. He's dealing with a knee issue, which could put the Celtics shorthanded. Jayson Tatum (wrist) is considered doubtful, and Jrue Holiday (hamstring) is also listed as questionable. Brown contributed 36 points and 10 rebounds in their Game 2 victory while Tatum was sidelined, so that production is going to fall on the rest of the team if he can't suit up. Payton Pritchard would likely join the starting lineup in that case, while Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet likely see a bump in minutes as well.
