Jaylen Brown enters Celtics' first unit in Tuesday's finale
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown is starting on Tuesday versus the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Brown will be joined by Terry Rozier, Semi Ojeleye, Guerschon Yabusele, and Robert Williams in the first unit, though he will have his minutes monitored. The Celtics only eight healthy bodies tonight, as Kyrie Irving (right knee contusion), Marcus Smart (left oblique contusion), Jayson Tatum (shin), Marcus Morris (knee), Gordon Hayward (ankle), Al Horford (knee) and Aron Baynes (ankle) have all been ruled out. Brown is averaging 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.9 steals, and 1.1 3-pointers in 24 starts this season.
numberFire's models project Brown for 29.8 FanDuel points on Tuesday. He's priced at $4,500.
