Will Jaylen Brown's Return Be Enough for Celtics?

The Boston Celtics are set to visit the Philadelphia 76ers in a crucial Game 3, with the series tied at 1-1 after both teams won their respective home games. The Celtics appear to be getting a boost with the availability of All-Star forward, Jaylen Brown, for the matchup. Brown has been instrumental in the post-season, averaging 26.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.3 steals per game, shooting an impressive 55.7% from the field in the first eight games. He also played a vital role in the massive 121-87 victory in Game 2 over the 76ers, scoring 25 points and contributing defensively to limit James Harden to just 12 points on 2 of 14 shooting. With Brown back in the lineup, the second seed in the East will rely on him to lead the charge against the 76ers. However, winning in Philly has been a big ask for the Celtics historically, with a meager 14-68 record in all games played in the City of Brotherly Love since 2000. Celtics coach Nick Nurse will be hoping that Brown's exceptional form will help them buck the trend and regain the advantage in the series. Will Jaylen Brown's return end the Boston Celtics' struggles in Philadelphia?
