I don't understand your problem.
You already know how to go to previous day, with Getdate()-1, aka from today the 27, you check the 26.
And you wonder from today the 27, you check the 24, are you unable to count to 3 and get Getdate()-3 ?

Try this:

declare @date datetime;
select @date =
case
   when datepart(weekday, getdate()) = 2 then getdate()-3
   else getdate() - 1
end;
select @date

4'd - I think you need to use -3 and -1 to correctly fit the OP's requirement?
