Jaylen Brown - Dealing with knee injuryBrown is questionable for Monday's game in Toronto due to right knee hyperextension, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.
ImpactBrown dominated Houston on Saturday, posting 32 points (11-15 FG) in 28 minutes, but he's now in danger of missing his first game since Dec. 28. Al Horford and Sam Hauser are candidates to join the starting lineup if Brown is sidelined, but Jrue Holiday, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum would presumably lead Boston's offense in usage rate.

Payton Pritchard - Impresses off bench once againPritchard logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 145-113 victory over the Rockets.
ImpactPritchard has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings off the bench, though the last two contests have been blowouts where he's benefited from extra minutes. In regular circumstances, however, he doesn't carry a lot of upside, and he should be better left on the wire outside of deep formats. Even in those circumstances, he offers little outside of three-point shots and a few assists here and there.

Jaylen Brown - Carries Boston to easy winBrown closed Saturday's 145-113 win over Houston with 32 points (11-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in 28 minutes.
ImpactBrown was impressive for the Celtics on Saturday, carrying the team on offense and showing an extremely efficient shooting touch, missing just four of his 15 attempts from the field. Brown might operate as Boston's second-best offensive alternative behind Jayson Tatum, but it's not entirely odd to see him explode on offense. This was his ninth game with 30 or more points this season, and he should remain an elite fantasy alternative given he holds a prominent role in one of the best offenses in the league.
