Malcolm Brogdon DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) was re-evaluated on Monday and is making good progress in his recovery, the team has announced. The Trail Blazers added that Brogdon will continue to "ramp up with an anticipated return to action." Officially, the 31-year-old remains without a timetable for his return, but it looks like Brogdon is getting close to being available again. He last played on Feb. 2. Brogdon has done well with the Trail Blazers, averaging 15.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 28.7 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) will be forced to sit out some time, with the team announcing that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks. He has missed a pair of games with a knee issue and an illness lately, but Brogdon is now dealing with tendinitis in his right elbow. With the injury bug having taken out a number of backcourt players, Ashton Hagans has seen quite a bit of action after inking a 10-day contract, while Dalano Banton and Matisse Thybulle also benefit.

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.
