Boston Celtics

An illness has officially forced Jaylen Brown to the sidelines for Thursday's matchup against the Wizards, confirming earlier reports from NBA insider Marc Stein. The decision was expected after the forward was initially listed as doubtful for the contest.

Fantasy Impact: 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.

Derrick White scored 22 points (8-16 FG, 4-12 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with two rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in the Celtics 123-117 win over the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact: White recorded a complete stat line in the win for Boston. He has continued to post steady production across the board for fantasy managers.
