What Jaylen Brown's Return means to Boston heading into Tonight's Game against Golden State

The storylines heading into tonight’s game between Boston and Golden State are plentiful. 

But few are as important as the return of Jaylen Brown to the Boston Celtics’ lineup after missing the last three games with an adductor injury. 

The biggest plus with Brown back is obvious: his scoring. 

Despite being Boston’s clear number two option, he delivers on a nightly basis as if the offense was built around him, averaging 27.2 points and 7.1 rebounds per game - both career highs. 

But the impact of Brown goes far beyond his scoring acumen.
