Celtics' Jaylen Brown dealing with hamstring injury
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown injured his hamstring during Tuesday's overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Brown's status is uncertain for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He finished Tuesday with 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 3 3-pointers, and 2 turnovers in 34.8 minutes. The Celtics may be running thin on Wednesday, as Jayson Tatum (illness) and Kemba Walker (knee, rest) are unavailable and Gordon Hayward (knee) and Marcus Smart (possible suspension) are uncertain. Grant Williams, Javonte Green, Brad Wanamaker, and Carsen Edwards could all be in line for expanded workloads. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 PM ET.
Brown finished with 36.5 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics-Cavaliers game has the second-lowest over/under (216.5 points) on Wednesday's nine-game slate.
