Jaylen Brown - Questionable to play FridayBrown is listed as questionable to play Friday against the Magic due to a right adductor strain.
ImpactThe absence of Brown could represent a huge blow for the Celtics, especially since Jrue Holiday (ankle) is also carrying an injury designation. Not having their second-best scorer could be massive for Boston, and if he ends up being ruled out, then Sam Hauser could be in line to earn a bigger role. Brown is averaging 21.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes across his first 14 appearances.

Jrue Holiday - Probable to face OrlandoHoliday is probable to face the Magic on Friday due to a right ankle sprain.
ImpactHoliday is going through a rough patch of late, scoring 11 or fewer points in each of his last three appearances while shooting 30.8 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from three in that span. Derrick White could slot into the point guard role and Al Horford might slot into the lineup if Holiday can't play Friday, but the probable tag suggests he'll be available either way.
