Celtics' Jaylen Brown (hip) questionable for Game 5

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (right hip pointer) is questionable for Game 5 on Thursday versus the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What It Means:

With Isaiah Thomas (hip) out for the remainder of the postseason, the Celtics need Brown to be healthy and productive, although his production has fallen off in the last two contests with the increased production. He logged 20 minutes in Game 4 and could see even more if he's available on Thursday night. Otherwise, Boston will use a lot more Jonas Jerebko and Kelly Olynyk as head coach Brad Stevens figures to go bigger with his lineups.

Brown is averaging 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 steals in 19.1 minutes per game this series. He's shot just 3-of-8 from the field in the last two contests after making 12-of-18 attempts in Games 1-2.
