Jaylen Brown (ankle) will not play for Celtics Wednesday night
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown has been ruled out for Wednesday against the Orlando Magic due to a sprained ankle.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens said Brown is considered day-to-day for now. Kemba Walker will return Wednesday after missing multiples games with an oblique strain, but Evan Fournier could remain in the starting lineup with Brown sidelined. Semi Ojeleye is also a candidate to replace Brown in the first unit and Aaron Nesmith could take on additional minutes.
Fournier is one of numberFire's top-five point-per-dollar options at the shooting guard position on Wednesday's nine-game slate. He has a $5,300 salary and our models project him for 27.5 FanDuel points versus the Magic.
