Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon finished with 13 points in Friday's loss to Miami. The Sixth Man of the Year could hardly find the bottom of the net, shooting 4-for-9 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep. That said, he's played well during the postseason, so he deserves a free pass from fantasy managers. DFS participants should keep Brogdon in mind for Game 3 on Sunday, especially since he may get back on track.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (forearm) is considered probable for Friday's Game 2 matchup against the Miami Heat. The 30-year-old should be fine despite him dealing with a right forearm strain. It didn't seem to bother him during Wednesday's Game 1 loss. Brogdon finished 7-of-14 shooting with 19 points, one assist, and two rebounds. He has been playing a key role for the Celtics down the stretch and during the postseason. The expectation is that he'll suit up for Friday's contest, but fantasy managers can check back for another update.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon remains one of the best bench players left in the playoffs. Fresh off of winning Sixth Man of the Year, he dropped 19 points, two rebounds, and one assist on 7-for-14 from the floor and 2-for-4 from deep. In this postseason, he's averaging 15.1 points per game on 45.0% shooting overall and 43.8% from beyond the arc. He's been the spark plug that they've needed whenever they hit rough stretches, but they'll need more than just Brogdon to put away the Heat and make the NBA Finals.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon recorded 19 points in Sunday's loss to Philly. While most of Brogdon's teammates struggled shooting the ball, he went 5-for-8 from downtown. He added eight rebounds and two assists, capping off a productive day. The Sixth Man of the Year averaged only 13 points in the playoff series versus the Atlanta Hawks. However, he's averaging 19 in this series, so he'll remain a viable option for DFS managers for Game 5 on Tuesday.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon scored 23 points in the postseason win over the 76ers. Jaylen Brown had a game-high 25 points. However, the 2022-23 Sixth Man of the Year was the second-best offensive producer on the night. Brogdon is now averaging 21.5 points and shooting 50% from deep in this series, so he'll certainly draw plenty of interest from DFS managers on Friday night for Game 3.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon had his highest-scoring game of the 2023 NBA Playoffs Monday against Philadelphia, finishing with 20 points in a 119-115 loss. He and Robert Williams III were the lone scorers off the Boston bench, and Brogdon reached the 20-point mark with 9-for-16 shooting. The Sixth Man of the Year was 2-for-6 with the three-ball and picked up three rebounds with three assists. This was a very good performance from Brogdon, but he made a costly error in the final minute of the game, as the experienced guard recorded his only turnover of the night by passing the ball straight to Tyrese Maxey, who made an easy layup that was part of a 9-2 run which helped the Sixers win the game. Brogdon will look to rectify the mishap in Wednesday's Game 2.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon has been named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year. He becomes the first Celtic player since Bill Walton in 1986 to win the award. He beats out Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley and Bucks forward Bobby Portis in the voting. Brogdon averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists in 67 appearances, which were all off the bench during his first season in Boston. He finished with a 48.4 shooting percentage which was his best percentage since the 2018 season. Brogdon remains under contract for the 2024 season as he looks to continue to build on his success.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) won't play on Friday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's battled Achilles soreness on and off over the last few seasons, so he could be back on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. Boston will also be without Payton Pritchard (heel), so Derrick White may see more work than usual.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the New York Knicks. Brogdon was questionable with ankle soreness before being ruled out and will miss his second straight game due to the injury. Derrick White should see extra run as the first guard off the bench while Sam Hauser may see additional minutes as well.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (ankle) is expected to play on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. He was dealing with right ankle soreness that seems like it has subsided enough for him to play. Fantasy managers should feel confident in Brogdon playing up to his normal abilities as a quality sixth man for one of the top teams in the league. He's been one of the best guards in terms of keeping turnovers low for category leagues.

On Tuesday, the Charlotte Hornets made it official when they shut down their star guard LaMelo Ball for the remainder of the 2022-2023 NBA season.Many fantasy managers' worst fears were realized when Ball's non-contact injury in Monday night's game against Detroit turned out to be a fractured ankle.

LeBron James Injury Update

James injured his right foot during the third quarter of Sunday's comeback win over the Dallas Mavericks. It was a tense few seconds after the multi-time MVP clutched his foot after suffering what was deemed a "non-contact injury." The concern grew to greater heights after he was overheard saying, "I heard a pop." Situations like this are never good, as many were concerned that an Achilles tear could be the culprit.https://twitter.com/FanDuelTV/status/1630602449227595777?s=20Yet, after James gathered himself, he tightened his shoe and finished the game, totaling 26 points, eight rebounds, one block, and one steal. Head coach Darvin Ham appeared optimistic while speaking postgame, stating the 38-year-old was "good."However, that couldn't be further from the case, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting that James would "miss an extended period of time" because of the foot injury. Charania later added that the all-time scoring leader would "require multiple opinions."https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1630363560051187712?s=20 

LeBron James' Season Recap

Despite James' advanced NBA age, he's still productive. In 47 appearances, he's averaged 29.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. While his three-point percentage has regressed, that's never been his strong suit.James was also named an All-Star captain while recently passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the NBA's all-time scoring leader.https://twitter.com/NBAonTNT/status/1623184801284104192?s=20That said, despite some high-level accomplishments, the year has been a rough one for the 2003 No. 1 overall pick.

Boston Celtics point guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. After exiting early in Friday's game vs. the Hornets and playing only 18 minutes, Brogdon looks to return on Sunday vs. the Grizzlies. With Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle) both sidelined, Brogdon should see a spike in usage, if active. Derrick White, available in 39 percent of ESPN leagues, should be rostered in every league, especially right now with the Celtics being as short-handed as they are. If Brogdon is scratched, look for Sam Hauser to pick up a larger workload, as he logged 32 minutes in Brogdon's recent absence while recording a humble 12 points, three rebounds and three assists.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is expected to play on Sunday against Memphis. The 30-year-old is dealing with Achilles soreness, an injury that forced him to miss 41 games during the 2021-22 campaign while in Indiana. With Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle) out again, Brogdon will be needed to provide support on the offensive end. However, he played only 18 minutes on Friday night, so fantasy managers should be concerned about his workload versus the Grizzlies. That said, he remains a viable option in deep season-long formats, although DFS participants may want to look elsewhere for production.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon (personal) won't play on Monday versus Orlando. The C's will be shorthanded, as Marcus Smart (ankle) is also unavailable after spraining his right ankle on Saturday night. Derrick White will likely handle the ball-handling duties, so he'll probably be a popular DFS option on Monday evening.

Marcus Smart Injury Update
