Brown did manage to extend his streak of one-plus steals to eight games during Thursday's loss.

However, the 24-year-old forward has proven to be a quality outside shooter, converting 36.9 percent of his 2.3 three-point attempts per contest in 2023-24.

Impact Jaden McDaniels (ankle) left the contest after just four minutes, opening up more playing time for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Brown. Alexander-Walker was the primary beneficiary, starting the second half in McDaniels' absence and ending with 33 minutes. However, Brown's role also increased, as he finished with season highs in points, rebounds, assists and minutes played. If McDaniels is forced to miss extended time, Brown could carve out a more consistent bench role, but he doesn't need to be on fantasy radars in standard leagues.
