Jaylen Brown (hamstring) doubtful for Celtics in Game 1 versus Sixers
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) is doubtful for Game 1 against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Brown looks like he'll miss Game 1 on Monday, but the C's also noted that he has a good chance to play early in the series. Game 2 isn't until Thursday and Game 3 is in Philadelphia on Saturday. Hopefully for the Celtics Brown can return to one of those games, but assuming he is out for Game 1, Shane Larkin and Marcus Smart will take on more playing time. Jayson Tatum and Al Horford will also be asked to do more on the offensive end.
Brown is averaging 25.3 FanDuel points per game this season.
