Malcolm Brogdon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the second game in a row that Brogdon has been forced to sit out due to an illness. His absence should mean that Matisse Thybulle will remain in the starting five. He's not a reliable scoring option, but he does enough defensively to make him worth a look in fantasy formats. Ashton Hagans figures to play a bigger role as well with the Blazers banged up.

The Portland Trail Blazers aren't including guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) on their injury report for Thursday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. A right knee contusion cost Brogdon Sunday's loss to the Denver Nuggets, but he's got the green light to return on Thursday. Somewhat surprisingly staying put in Portland in the aftermath of Thursday's trade deadline, Brogdon is in an advantageous position against a Pistons squad that ranks 27th in opponent points per game (122.3) this year. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year is averaging 19.0 points, 6.8 dimes, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 triples in 35.4 minutes while shooting 91.7% from the foul line through his prior nine games, and although it's possible the Blazers were showcasing the 31-year-old veteran ahead of the deadline in an attempt to move him, Brogdon belongs in all season-long fantasy lineups in this spot.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This news comes after Brogdon was tagged as questionable coming into this game due to a right knee contusion. Jerami Grant (back) will join him on the sideline which will leave the Blazers shorthanded. Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray will shift into the starting five to help fill the void. Although, Scoot Henderson and Toumani Camara might be the better streaming choices even with them coming off the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon was uncertain coming into the second game of this back-to-back set. He has been dealing with a right knee issue lately. Despite that, Brogdon will play and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Brogdon back in their lineups for Monday's game.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) received another questionable tag on Sunday for their game against the Chicago Bulls. He's listed with a knee contusion, which forced him to miss their last game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. The injury came after he played over 40 minutes in an overtime win against the Houston Rockets. In that contest, he posted 19 points, six assists, two rebounds, and two turnovers. If he's able to play against Chicago, he is a solid start in all fantasy formats. If he has to watch from the sidelines, however, Scoot Henderson (quad) could be a solid streamer if he plays, otherwise, Jabari Walker, Matisse Thybulle, and Toumani Camara would get some more opportunities.
