Jaylen Brown (knee) probable Wednesday for Boston
Boston Celtics small forward Jaylen Brown (knee) is probable to play on Wednesday versus the Miami Heat.
What It Means:
Brown was held out of Monday's game on the second leg of a back-to-back, but he is expected back on Wednesday. Jayson Tatum (knee, probable) and Al Horford are also set to return. As a result, Derrick White and Aaron Nesmith will move back to Boston's bench. There will also be fewer opportunities on offense for Marcus Smart.
numberFire's models currently project Brown for 35.4 minutes and 38.6 FanDuel points on Wednesday. He averaged 36.4 FanDuel points in two previous meetings with Miami this season.
