Jaylen Brown is Uncertain for Sunday's Game
Jaylen Brown (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Celtics have been shorthanded with Brown and Jayson Tatum (groin) banged up. Kemba Walker, Marcus Smart, and Grant Williams have been asked to step up in their absence. Walker would remain a solid DFS option if both Brown and Tatum sit on Sunday. Smart and Williams would have some streaming appeal with the Celtics banged up. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time for more information.

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.
