Jaylen Brown (illness) is officially out against the Wizards on Thursday.This will be Brown's first missed game of the season, and has been anticipated over the last couple of days. His absence will mean more shots from Payton Pritchard and Derrick White but also increased usage for guys like Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, and Sam Hauser.
Jaylen Brown (illness) is doubtful to play against the Wizards on Thursday.Brown is expected to miss a game for the first time this season, which opens up a ton of minutes and shots. Anfernee Simons, Josh Minott, Sam Hauser and Hugo Gonzalez are all candidates to start in place of Brown, though all four should see a boost in minutes.
Derrick White (calf) is probable for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.While a contused right calf has White listed on the Celtics' injury report, the probable tag suggests that he's much closer to playing than not. If he's unable to play, there will be more minutes available to Payton Pritchard and Anfernee Simons, raising the fantasy ceilings of both players.
