The Boston Celtics announced that Brown is questionable heading into Tuesday's game agains the Los Angeles Clippers. Brown missed the Celtics' previous game with a sore left knee and is being considered day-to-day. Jayson Tatum and Kemba Walker should continue to benefit from increased offensive roles if Brown doesn't suit up.

The Miami Heat are monitoring the status of Jimmy Butler who has been listed questionable ahead of their Tuesday night matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the Heat's last game due to right knee inflammation and Goran Dragic, who also just returned from injury, drew the start in his place.

Bojan Bogdanovic is expected to make his long-awaited return to the Hawks lineup after going down on Jan 9. with a knee injury. According to Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk, Bogdanovic will play on a minute restriction barring any late setbacks.
