Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Game-high 29 points in return
Rotowire
Brown (illness) posted 29 points (8-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.
After missing Sunday's narrow loss to Cleveland with an illness, Brown did all of his damage in just three quarters Monday, sitting out the fourth quarter as Boston nursed a late lead. Brown's game-high 29 points lifted some of the burdens from the shoulders of Jayson Tatum, who fired a season-high 27 field-goal attempts Sunday against the Cavaliers. Over his last 10 games, Brown is averaging 24.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 36.2 minutes per game while shooting a strong 38.2 percent from downtown during this span. Brown had shot just 71.4 percent from the free-throw line in his previous eight games to Monday, but fantasy managers should be very pleased with the star wing's 9-for-10 clip from the foul line in this one.

Rotowire
Brown (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Brown was a late scratch Sunday against Cleveland, and it remains to be seen if he can give it a go for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Brown does manage to suit up, he'd be looking at a ton of usage most likely, as Jayson Tatum (knee) and Derrick White (foot) are questionable, while Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Jrue Holiday (knee) and Al Horford (rest) have already been ruled out.

Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Notches second double-double

Brown turned in an impressive night on the glass, resulting in his second double-double and his best mark of the young season in rebounds. However, he was less productive shooting the ball, knocking down 42.1 percent of his attempts from the field. Brown's 24 points certainly helped the cause, but it was Jayson Tatum's team-high 36 points that powered Boston to victory, and Payton Pritchard also chipped in 23 points off the bench.
