Jaylen Brown scores 22 for Celtics in spot start
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown scored 22 points (9-of-18 field goals, 2-of-3 free throws) with 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block, 2 3-pointers, and 0 turnovers in 32.4 minutes of a 109-102 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
Brown posted his seventh 20-point game of the season while starting in place of Marcus Smart (illness). Smart and Kyrie Irving (quad) are expected to return at home on Wednesday versus the Toronto Raptors, so Brown's usage will likely dip back down.
Brown scored 38.2 FanDuel points in the loss. He's averaging 21.7 FanDuel points through 38 games this season.
