Jaylen Brown had one of his best postseason games of the year in Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks, finishing a 127-102 win with a 26-point, 12-assist double-double. Brown needed to take on extra offensive duties with
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) lost for the rest of the way, and he relished the occasion, posting a new career high in assists and missing a triple-double by only two rebounds. He shot 9-for-17 from the field, including 3-for-5 from outside, and tallied one steal on the defensive end. Brown formed a dangerous attacking duo with
Derrick White on Wednesday, as the two combined for nearly half (60) of Boston's points. The Knicks will be in trouble if they can't slow them down on Friday night in Game 6.

Jaylen Brown finished Wednesday's 91-90 loss in Game 2 against the New York Knicks with 20 points, six rebounds, one assist, and two steals. The four-time All-Star had a hot start in the contest but completely cooled off in the second half. Brown only added three points to his tally in the second 24 minutes, shooting 1-for-7 from the field. Four of his six turnovers also came after halftime. The Celtics have seen both Brown and
Jayson Tatum struggle to hit shots in the series, and the superstars definitely must improve for the team to avoid a second-round exit. On Wednesday, Brown shot only 8-for-23 from the field and 2-for-7 from downtown. The Knicks have restricted him to 35 percent shooting overall, and he has made only three of 17 attempts from three-point range.

Jaylen Brown scored 23 points on 7-for-20 shooting in Monday's 108-105 overtime loss to the New York Knicks. Most of the Celtics struggled to hit shots, and Brown was among them, finishing a shocking 1-for-10 from three-point range. His scoring total was salvaged by an 8-for-10 effort at the free-throw line. The reigning Finals MVP led his team with 45 minutes and wrapped up the night with seven rebounds and five assists. Brown has been hampered by a knee injury during the postseason but has boosted his scoring average to 23.0 points per game while grabbing 7.5 rebounds. Before going cold on Monday night, Brown had shot 44.4 percent from downtown. He will attempt to heat up again on Wednesday night in Game 2.

Jaylen Brown (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's series-opening matchup versus the Knicks. He had routinely carried questionable designations because of a nagging knee issue during the previous series against the Orlando Magic. However, the 28-year-old didn't miss any time. He recently indicated he's feeling better, which is great news. Unfortunately, Brown averaged only 16.3 points in four regular season meetings with New York, making him hard to trust from a DFS standpoint.
