Brown's status for Friday's showdown with the Lakers remains undetermined. In his absence against Washington, the Celtics are expected to distribute additional playing time to Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser, and Josh Minott. Furthermore, the offensive workload is likely to funnel toward Derrick White and Payton Pritchard, who should both see a noticeable increase in usage.

Brown had his fourth career triple double in the win, and got there the oddest of ways. Not only did he miss the vast majority of his shots, but he also took more free throws than field goal attempts, which is saying something because he took 13 FGA! Brown has been on a tear this season, and expect that to continue whenever he is on the court.
