The Celtics should receive a major boost when they meet the Bucks in Boston on Sunday afternoon.
All-Star guard Jaylen Brown is expected to rejoin the starting lineup after missing the Celtics’ matchup against the Kings. Brown was sidelined because of left hamstring tightness and a right knee contusion, but Payton Pritchard led Boston to a 112-93 victory over Sacramento with a game-high 29 points.
