Jaylen Brown (rest) out for Celtics finale
The Boston Celtics have ruled Jaylen Brown (rest) out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
The Celtics have locked up the third seed in the Eastern Conference, so they've made the smart decision to rest their starters and avoid any devastating injuries to critical players. With Brown resting for this one, expect Romeo Langford and Javonte Green to see a bump in minutes.
Langford should be expected to start in this one, and our projections have him slated for 28.6 minutes, 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists for 16.9 fantasy points. Green is projected to play 21.6 minutes and to score 18.2 fantasy points.
