Celtics holding Jaylen Brown (knee) out Monday versus Raptors
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Monday versus the Toronto Raptors.
The Celtics have ruled out Brown, Jayson Tatum (knee), and Al Horford (personal) for the second leg of their back-to-back set on Monday. Robert Williams will also be unavailable after he suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee during Sunday's game. As a result, look for Marcus Smart and Derrick White to carry the shorthanded Celtics on offense versus Toronto. Aaron Nesmith is also in line for a larger role on Monday.
Brown is second on the Celtics this season with a 30.4% usage rate and Tatum is leading the team at 32.1%. White is now numberFire's fourth-best and Nesmith is our seventh-best point-per-dollar value on Monday's nine-game slate.
