Brogdon (personal) is listed as out for Tuesday's game versus the Heat.
Brogdon will skip a second consecutive tilt while dealing with a personal matter, leaving the Celtics shorthanded at point guard with Marcus Smart (ankle) also sidelined again.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Won't be available Monday
Rotowire
Brogdon has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic due to personal reasons, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Monday marks the start of a two-game road swing in Florida for the Celtics, so it's unclear if Brogdon will be ready to rejoin the team ahead of Tuesday's matchup in Miami. Marcus Smart (ankle) is also out against Orlando, so Derrick White will likely draw the start at point guard while Payton Pritchard will be a candidate for increased playing time off the bench.
Brogdon contributed 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 win over the Raptors.
Brogdon reached 35 minutes for the second game in a row, with the absence of Jayson Tatum (wrist) and the early departures of Marcus Smart (ankle) and Robert Williams (knee) likely playing a part in the veteran guard's elevated playing time. The statuses of all three players for Monday's game in Orlando remain unknown, so Brogdon looks like he'll be worth holding in the majority of 12-team points and categories leagues until Boston offers some resolution on the matter. Over 11 appearances in January, Brogdon is averaging 17.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.5 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 26.9 minutes while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 91.7 percent from the charity stripe.

With Jaylen Brown out with a groin injury and Derrick White departing with a neck issue, Brogdon saw some extra minutes and scored an efficient 30 points on 17 attempts, both season highs. It marked the third game in a row, and the fifth of six, that the veteran guard has shot over 50 percent from the field. He's having a solid January offensively, averaging 17.0 points per game in eight appearances.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Will play Saturday
Rotowire
Brogdon (personal) is available for Saturday's affair with the Hornets, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Brogdon was initially tabbed questionable due to the issue but will in fact be active Saturday.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Brogdon is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets due to personal reasons.
Brogdon is at risk of missing his first game of the new year with personal issues. With Jaylen Brown (groin) sidelined for the contest, the Celtics could be left quite thin on the wing Saturday. If that were to be the case, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard would be in line to see expanded roles.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Posts efficient 23 points in win
Rotowire
Brogdon delivered 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists, two rebounds and zero turnovers over 28 minutes in Saturday's 121-116 win at San Antonio.
Brogdon stepped up, especially after Marcus Smart left early in the third quarter with a knee injury. Brogdon and Derrick White combined for 18 assists and zero turnovers. The Spurs were missing their top three players yet still gave Boston a scare. This was Brogdon's third game this season with five made three-pointers. Should Smart's injury linger, Brogdon and White could see additional point guard duties Monday at home versus the Bulls.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Strong performance in blowout loss
Rotowire
Brogdon registered 17 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block 26 minutes during Tuesday's 150-117 loss to the Thunder.
Brogdon put together his best performance in a while, flirting with a double-double as the Celtics were embarrassed by the Thunder. The game was basically over at halftime, meaning the second and third units saw additional run on the way back. All in all, it's been a disappointing season compared to Brogdon's usual standards, which was to be expected after he moved from a 57-loss Pacers squad to the reigning Eastern Conference champions. He remains a viable asset in 12-team category leagues, though his ceiling is capped due to his limited role behind co-stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Sitting out Thursday
Rotowire
Brogdon (illness) will not play in Thursday's meeting with the Clippers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Brogdon has seen a decreased role over his last three contests, averaging just 18.3 minutes per game, and will be sidelined Thursday. His lessened workload has resulted in Derrick White receiving at least 30 minutes in each of the past three games. Brogdon's absence should leave even more minutes for White, while Payton Pritchard could hold a decent role off the bench. Brogdon's next chance to play will come Sunday in Denver.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Drops 18 off bench
Rotowire
Brogdon logged 18 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to the Pacers.
The veteran guard continues to provide some stability to Boston's second unit. Brogdon has scored at least 12 points in 10 of his last 12 games, averaging 14.8 points, 4.5 boards, 4.0 assists and 2.3 threes in 25.8 minutes a night over that stretch, but his lack of a starter's workload prevents him from being the kind of contributor he was in his last couple seasons with Indiana.

Celtics' Malcolm Brogdon: Ties season low with five points
Rotowire
Brogdon supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and six assists across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 122-118 overtime victory over the Lakers.
Brogdon attempted his fewest shots since Nov. 9 and tied his season low with five points. However, the backup point guard was able to somewhat salvage his production by dishing out at least six assists for the fifth time this season. Given his role as a reserve, Brogdon continues to be a sporadic producer, but on the season, he's still averaging 13.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 23.3 minutes per game.

Brogdon has surpassed the 15-point mark in three straight games and continues to make an impact off the bench for Boston. Even though he's not expected to carve a starting role any time soon with Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart featuring as the starting backcourt duo, Brogdon has decent fantasy value due to his efficient scoring and passing ability. He's averaging 14.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game across his last 10 appearances.
