PHOENIX — Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable for the Celtics ahead of their 9 p.m. Tuesday game against the Suns at Mortgage Matchup Center. Brown is dealing with a right knee contusion. Jayson Tatum remains out with his Achilles injury.

Brown has enjoyed a career-best season scoring the ball, averaging 29.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game. He’s played in 51 of the Celtics ’ 56 games this season as a consistently available option. Brown has rested some games, though, over the course of a long season.

Notably, the Celtics have a back-to-back coming up this week to conclude their four-game road trip . They face the Suns on Tuesday then the Nuggets on Wednesday, so Brown could take a night off to rest his knee.

BETTING:Celtics -6.5 point spread is listed at -110 on FanDuel for Tuesday night’s game against the Suns. Our FanDuel Sportsbook review provides a complete guide on how to use their platform.

The Suns are also expected to be shorthanded. Devin Booker has been banged up of late. An ankle sprain forced him to miss a seven-game stretch, and now he’s dealing with a hip issue. Dillon Brooks fractured his left hand Saturday against the Magic and will be re-evaluated in four-to-six weeks.

The Suns have enjoyed an upstart season where they’ve exceeded expectations. They’re currently 33-25, good for seventh in a competitive West. But the injury woes have hit them in recent games with the Suns looking to stay afloat after the All-Star break.
