Jaylen Brown (hand) unavailable Monday for Boston
Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (left hand sprain) is out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Brown has been downgraded from questionable. Sam Hauser will likely replace Brown in the starting lineup and play extended minutes. Payton Pritchard should also see more run on Monday night.
Hauser is averaging 26.4 minutes and 22.5 FanDuel points per game without Brown this season. Pritchard is averaging 26.5 minutes and 22.8 FanDuel points in that situation. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Celtics have the second-best implied total (118.75) in the league on Monday.
