Jaylen Brown has missed the Celtics last five games due to a strained right hamstring. Now that the Celtics are back home from the west coast, it looks like Brown will return for Boston as well. For the first time in over a week, Brown is off the Celtics injury report.

Brown previously missed eight straight games due to the strained hamstring in November. He returned late in the month for five games, but was clearly favoring his right leg when he played. Brown then sat out the entirety of Boston's 1-4 road trip.

With Brown in and out of the lineup, and Jayson Tatum struggling to find consistency, the Celtics have slipped to 13-14 on the season. Boston currently sits in 10th place in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics, and Orlando Magic, have played a league-high 17 road games, compared to just 10 home games.
