Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Big scoring effort in return
Rotowire
Brogdon (hamstring) tallied 25 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal in 27 minutes in Thursday's 123-114 win over the Hornets.
Making his return from a four-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Brogdon was deployed off the bench after he had started in his previous eight appearances. The second-unit role didn't suppress Brogdon's production, as he still exceeded his season-long average of 23.8 minutes per game heading into the contest and rode a red-hot shooting performance to his second-best scoring haul of the season. Though Brogdon will be a prime candidate to be dealt ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline and will likely see his playing time drop if he's moved elsewhere, the Wizards appear committed to giving the veteran guard meaningful minutes while he's healthy.

Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Records double-double
Rotowire
Brogdon registered 29 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 loss to the Bucks.
Brogdon didn't make his season debut until Nov. 17 and looked rusty in his first two appearances of the campaign, but he's been trending in the right direction of late. The veteran floor general, who's likely to be a sought-after commodity in the trade market in the coming weeks, has scored at least 15 points in his last four outings, shooting 55.5 percent from the field in that stretch.

Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Solid numbers in Tuesday's loss
Rotowire
Brogdon produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 loss to the Bulls.
The veteran guard seems to be rounding into form after missing the beginning of the season while completing his recovery from thumb surgery. Brogdon has scored at least 15 points in three straight starts, averaging 16.0 points, 5.7 boards and 3.3 assists in 24.7 minutes a contest. Jordan Poole (hip) has missed two of those games, so it's not really clear yet what the Wizards' backcourt usage will look like when the duo are together, and Brogdon still has some rust to shake off -- he's shot just 20.0 percent (2-for-10) from three-point range since making his season debut.

Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Limited to 19 minutes Monday
Rotowire
Brogdon racked up seven points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 134-106 loss to the Knicks.
With Bilal Coulibaly (head) unavailable, Brogdon made his first start of the season Monday but didn't have a good performance, although to be fair, the entire Wizards team looked overmatched on both ends of the court. It's unclear if Brogdon will remain in the starting lineup, but either way, he could see an expanded role if the Wizards want to enhance his trade value before the deadline.
Brogdon will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Knicks.
With Bilal Coulibaly (head) ruled out, Brogdon will make his first start of the season after missing significant time due to a right thumb injury. The veteran point guard struggled in his return to game action in Sunday's loss to the Pistons, during which he posted one point (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 22 minutes off the bench.
