Brown’s dealing with tightness in his hamstring, and he’s still not ready to return to action. Boston could also be without Bruno Fernando, who’s listed as doubtful with a back injury, while Jabari Parker is questionable due to a non-COVID-related illness.
This will be the Celtics’ second game in the Staples Center on many nights. On Tuesday, they lost 117-102 to the Lakers. It should be no surprise that sharp bettors are fading the shorthanded Celtics again. After opening as a three-point favorite, the Clippers are now up to 4.5-points in the market. The total’s also drawing some attention as it’s already been bet down four points from the opening number of 214.5.
