Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Clear of Sunday's injury report
Rotowire
Brogdon isn't listed among the players on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game versus the Spurs.
Brogdon should claim his typical spot as a significant bench piece in the backcourt after being a late scratch Friday due to left low back pain. Over eight March appearances, Brogdon is averaging 12.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 28.1 minutes while converting 42.9 percent of his field-goal attempts and 36.4 percent of his three-point tries.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Late scratch vs. Pacers
Rotowire
Brogdon is out for Friday's game against the Pacers due to left low back pain.
Brogdon wasn't previously on the injury report, so his absence comes as a surprise. Brogdon has played at least 20 minutes in each of his past 13 appearances, and his absence could lead to more minutes for Derrick White, Marcus Smart, Sam Hauser and Grant Williams.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Meager output in win
Rotowire
Brogdon notched four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 victory over Sacramento.
Brogdon played his fewest minutes since March 1 and struggled to make an impact offensively. Coming into the contest, the backup point guard had appeared in six of Boston's previous seven matchups and averaged 15.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 30.0 minutes during that stretch, so it's safe to chalk Tuesday's performance up to an off night.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Absent from injury report
Rotowire
Brogdon (Achilles) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Brogdon was ruled out for Friday's game after initially being listed as probable with right Achilles soreness but should be a full-go for Saturday's tilt. He will likely take on a larger role with Marcus Smart (hip) sidelined for the contest and could make an appearance in the starting lineup.

Brogdon racked up 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 104-102 win over Minnesota.
Brogdon made a limited impact as a distributor but still bludgeoned his way to a double-digit scoring total for the third straight game and for the fourth time in five appearances. He's averaging 13.5 points per game across six March appearances and remains among the leading candidates for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Pops for 18 points off bench
Rotowire
Brogdon ended with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 win over the Hawks.
Brogdon continues to alternate good and bad games, having himself a productive outing Saturday. While he has scored at least 18 points in three of the past six games, the other three have yielded a total of just 12 points. Despite his inconsistencies, Brogdon warrants a roster spot in most fantasy leagues, especially until Robert Williams (hamstring) is back on the floor.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Brogdon (ankle) isn't listed on the Celtics' injury report for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Brogdon has missed back-to-back games due to right ankle soreness, but he'll be back in the mix Monday. The backup guard has been streaky over his past six appearances, scoring at least 20 points in four contests while totaling just seven points in the other two matchups. Brogdon figures to garner plenty of playmaking opportunities versus Cleveland with Jayson Tatum (knee) sidelined.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Brogdon (ankle) will not play Sunday versus the Knicks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
This will be the second straight game on the sidelines for Brogdon, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Cavs. His minutes will be divvied up amongst Derrick White, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard.

Brogdon has been downgraded from probable to out with right ankle soreness.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Dealing with ankle soreness
Rotowire
Brogdon is probable for Friday's game against the Nets due to right ankle soreness.
Brogdon finished Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers with two points, two assists, two rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes. He presumably tweaked his ankle during that contest and is now dealing with some soreness, but the issue shouldn't impact his availability versus Brooklyn, though fantasy managers are encouraged to confirm his status ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Muted production against Cavaliers
Rotowire
Brogdon ended Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers with two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes.
Brogdon has topped 20 points in four of his last six appearances, but he's been held to five or fewer points during his other two outings over that stretch. The 30-year-old mustered just five field-goal attempts Wednesday and could not generate much production in secondary categories. Brogdon's upside has been on display in recent weeks, but his continued bench role means there will also be lackluster performances, as shown by Wednesday's stat line.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Clears 20-point mark again
Rotowire
Brogdon finished with 22 points (10-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 28 minutes in Monday's 109-94 loss to the Knicks.
Brogdon continues to make a strong case for the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award, as he came off the bench to deliver his 14th 20-plus-point outing of the season. Though he's averaging 30.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances, Brogdon could see a slight downturn in his playing time and production with Jaylen Brown (personal) likely to return to action Wednesday versus the Cavaliers.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Another 25 points in win
Rotowire
Brogdon racked up 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt), six assists and three rebounds across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 127-109 win over the Pistons.
Though the Celtics welcomed Marcus Smart (ankle) back after he had missed the last 11 games, the continued absence of Jaylen Brown (face) left enough minutes and usage available out of the backcourt for Brogdon to come through with a big performance. Brogdon poured in 14 of his 25 points in the second quarter, enabling him to close the February portion of the Celtics' pre-All-Star break schedule with an average of 15.9 points over seven contests to go with 3.7 assists, 3.1 boards and 2.3 triples per contest. The veteran guard remains a must-roster player across all 12-team formats at this time, but look for his value to take a hit as soon as Boston gets both Brown and Robert Williams (ankle) back, which could happen as early as the Celtics' first game out of the All-Star break.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Big game off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Brogdon accumulated 26 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 39 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime loss to the Bucks.
After sitting out Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to right Achilles soreness, Brogdon was back in the lineup and giving the short-handed Celtics some crucial minutes from the second unit, as the rest of Boston's bench combined for just 12 points. With Derrick White (ear) joining Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle) on the injury report, Brogdon could see a hefty workload again Wednesday in Detroit, although Smart might be able to suit up against the Pistons for the first time in nearly a month.
