Brown was listed as questionable due to a right knee posterior impingement. He will play and start on Sunday.
The 27-year-old has been dealing with a right knee issue lately, but he can play through it again on Sunday. Through three games this postseason, Brown has averaged 23.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in 35.3 minutes per contest.
He played solid in Game 3, recording 19 points on a stellar 7-of-14 shooting from the field, six rebounds, one assist, one block, and one steal in 34 minutes. Boston was unable to come away with the win on Friday, which caused the series to go 2-1, with Boston still on top.

The Celtics had a chance to take a commanding 3-0 series lead on Friday in the final seconds, but a controversial non-call ended the game with the Magic coming out on top. Now, Boston will look to take a commanding 3-1 lead instead and go back to the TD Garden for a chance to close things out on Tuesday if they win on Sunday.
Boston comes into this game as the heavy road favorites with a -7.5 spread.
The Magic hold a 31-21 record against Eastern Conference teams and lead the NBA in scoring defense, allowing just 105.5 points per game while limiting opponents to 46.8 percent shooting.
Meanwhile, the Celtics have posted a 39-13 mark against Eastern Conference foes. Boston ranks ninth in the conference in assists, averaging 26.1 per game, with Jayson Tatum leading the way at 6.0 assists per contest.
Brown’s play will be pivotal if the Celtics want to put this series to bed by five games.
