Jaylen Brown (hamstring) ruled out for Boston on Wednesday
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (right hamstring strain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Brown injured his hamstring during Tuesday's overtime loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He will be joined by Kemba Walker (knee) and Gordon Hayward (knee) on the sidelines. Marcus Smart could also be facing a suspension. Jayson Tatum (illness, probable) will likely do the heavy-lifting on offense for Boston. Javonte Green (ankle, probable) and Grant Williams are candidates to start.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics-Cavaliers game has the second-lowest over/under (216.5 points) on Wednesday's nine-game slate.
