Jaylen Brown Injury Update: Magic vs. Celtics Game 5

UPDATE: Brown is available for Game 5.

Celtics SG Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable for Tuesday’s Game 5 vs. the Magic with a knee injury. This is the third straight game he has been questionable with this injury, but he has played in every game this series.

The more concerning news for Boston is that PG Jrue Holiday has been ruled out for the third consecutive game with his hamstring issue.

Boston has a chance to close this series out at home on Tuesday, and I believe they will do just that. Brown should likely play despite the designation, as he has in the last two games. If he somehow can’t go, Payton Pritchard would likely slide into the starting lineup.

On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Celtics are currently 11.5-point favorites with the total set at 199.5.
