Jaylen Brown To Remain Sidelined Saturday

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown will not be available for Saturday’s contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves due to a back injury.

Leading the Boston bench unit seems […]

Aron Baynes Nearly Posts Double-Double In Start

Boston Celtics center Aron Baynes moved into the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and finished with 10 points and nine rebounds across 23 minutes. Baynes became a golden DFS play with Al Horford out due to rest, but even with his strong performance against Cleveland, it’s probably best to leave Baynes […]

Boston Celtics point guard Kyrie Irving filled up the scoring column during Friday’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, finishing with 29 points on 11-for-15 shooting, including five made threes, across just 27 minutes of action.
