Brown (rest) will not play Sunday against the Wizards.
With the No. 1 seed locked up, it's no surprise to see the Celtics hold out their top six rotation players. In addition to Brown, the Celtics will be without Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Iffy against Charlotte
Rotowire
Brown (hand) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown continues to deal with a left hand sprain but has been available for the past three games, averaging 18.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.7 minutes per game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the Celtics manage Brown's workload over the final two games of the regular season since the team has clinched the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Struggles from field Thursday
Rotowire
Brown recorded 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-109 loss to the Knicks.
The Celtics had one of their worst offensive showings of the season Thursday, and Brown couldn't escape the team's woes, as he needed 15 shots to score 15 points. Brown has failed to surpass the 15-point mark in his last two outings, but he remains a key cog in one of the league's best offenses, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned by two subpar outings in the final days of the regular season.

Rotowire
Brown (hand) is available for Thursday's game against New York, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Brown was questionable for Thursday's matchup due to a left hand sprain, but he'll be available for a third consecutive game. Over three appearances in April, he's averaged 21.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Iffy against Knicks
Rotowire
Brown is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Knicks due to a left hand sprain.
With Boston already locking up the top seed in the Eastern Conference, it wouldn't be surprising for Brown to sit out Thursday's contest. With Jayson Tatum (knee) also questionable, Sam Hauser could see increased playing time.
Brown amassed 14 points (7-19 FG, 0-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 104-91 loss to the Bucks.
Brown had major problems from the field and needed 19 shots to score 14 points, his lowest tally since he recorded eight points in a 114-105 loss to the Lakers on Feb. 1. The rebounds and steals were a nice tally and somewhat salvaged his fantasy stat line, but fantasy managers are counting on Brown to produce better scoring performances.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Top scorer despite hand issue
Rotowire
Brown closed Sunday's 124-107 win over the Trail Blazers with 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes.
Brown ended up taking the court for Boston in Sunday's victory despite dealing with a hand injury that sidelined him in two of the past three games, going on to lead all Celtics players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying trio of threes. Brown has now scored 20 or more points in eight of his last 10 games and in two straight appearances.

Rotowire
Brown (hand) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Brown has missed two of the past three games but will shake off a questionable tag and suit up Sunday. Jayson Tatum (knee) is out, so Brown should be Boston's go-to playmaker versus Portland. Over his last 11 appearances, Brown has averaged 27.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals in 35.0 minutes per game.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Mediocre in discouraging loss
Rotowire
Brown finished Monday's 120-118 loss to Atlanta with 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 37 minutes.
Brown quickly compiled 13 points in the first quarter as Boston jumped out to a 20-point lead in the frame. However, he then failed to score until midway through the third quarter, by which point Atlanta had cut the gap to five points. Brown's streaky scoring in the context of Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Derrick White (hand) being inactive was crushing to Boston's offense. Additionally, his late-game methodology that featured multiple contested looks in isolation was a costly factor in Boston squandering a massive lead to a Hawks squad still lacking Trae Young (hand surgery).

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Out Saturday
Rotowire
Brown will not play in Saturday's game in Chicago due to right ankle injury management, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
With the Celtics firmly in first place, they will opt to err on the side of caution Saturday by holding Brown out to rest his ankle. With Jrue Holiday (shoulder) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) out, plus Jayson Tatum (ankle) questionable, Boston could be going to its depth early. As a result, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Jaden Springer and Oshae Brissett could all be looking at bigger roles than usual. Brown's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Atlanta.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Hits for 33 in Detroit
Rotowire
Brown produced 33 points (13-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and four steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 129-102 victory over the Pistons.
With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Jrue Holiday (shoulder) both out of the lineup, Brown flew solo and supplied more than 30 points for the third time in his last four games while tying his season high in steals. The 27-year-old wing has scored more than 20 in 13 straight games since the All-Star break, and he's averaged 28.8 points, 6.1 boards, 3.2 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.4 steals over that stretch while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor and 41.4 percent from beyond the arc.
