Jaylen Brown is doubtful for Celtics' game vs. Kings due to injury; team seeks to avoid back-to-back home losses.

Jaylen Brown is listed as doubtful for the Celtics' Friday game against the Sacramento Kings due to left hamstring tightness and a right knee contusion. The Celtics lost 117-106 to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, their first double-digit defeat since December, shooting just 26.5% from three-point range. Brown, averaging 29.4 points, was 0-for-5 from deep and acknowledged he didn’t play to his standard. Boston aims to avoid back-to-back home losses. The Kings, with a 3-21 road record, lost 113-111 to the 76ers in overtime, with Zach LaVine returning from lower back soreness to score 17 points. Boston center Neemias Queta, sidelined by illness, is listed as probable.
