Losing can spark wandering eyes. If Philadelphia had not been able to unload Ben Simmons, Brown would have been near the top of the Sixers’ wish list. Atlanta and Miami were often mentioned by league figures as hopeful Brown suitors, too.

Look I’ll be the one to say it, I don’t think the Celtics can win a playoff series against the Raptors if Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Al Horford are not involved. – 8:27 PM

With Celtics keeping Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum at home it could be a nice opportunity for Mississauga’s Nik Stauskas who has played limited minutes since signing with Boston on March 4th. Stauskas played a conditioning stint with G-League Maine Celtics on Sunday. – 7:29 PM

Celtics using tonight as a maintenance night. Williams out with that MCL injury and Horford out for personal reasons, but also top scorers Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum who will rest nagging knee injuries they have been playing through. – 1:45 PM

Cleveland (vs Orlando) and Chicago (at New York) both have favourable matchups tonight, but Raptors catch a break with the red-hot 1st-place Celtics in the 2nd night of a back-to-back and resting Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Boston will also be without Horford/Robert Williams – 1:32 PM

More on this storyline
[Jason Tatum] On a question from JJ Redick. JJ: “There have been talks about break up one of you two… Do you talk with JB about that?” Tatum: “Yeah. We’ve had plenty of talks… We ask each other like ‘Yo, you want to be here?’ And we both was like ‘Yeah’ -via reddit / February 19, 2022
Celtic sources insist they’re not floating Brown’s name in trade talks, and word back from other clubs confirms that such is the case. “Put it this way, we know we’d have to give up A LOT to get a Jaylen Brown,” said an exec. -via Heavy.com / February 1, 2022
