Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Fills stat sheet again in win
Rotowire
Bridges chipped in 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 36 minutes in Friday's 105-95 win over Boston.
Friday's game was not a shootout by any means, as Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns were the only Knicks to eclipse 20 points. However, it is an encouraging sign for fantasy managers that Bridges contributes meaningfully across multiple categories, and he will remain a reliable asset as long as he remains healthy.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: All-around impact in season opener
Rotowire
Bridges contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, five rebounds, three steals and two blocks across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-111 win over the Cavaliers.
Bridges made a strong impression in the Knicks' season-opening win, hitting key shots and disrupting defensively with a combined five steals and blocks. With the team boasting plenty of notable contributors -- including Josh Hart (back) and Mitchell Robinson (rest), who sat out Wednesday's game -- Bridges' scoring ceiling may vary, but his all-around impact remains undeniable. The 29-year-old is coming off his first season in New York, where he averaged 17.6 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 37.0 minutes per game across 82 regular-season contests.

Rotowire
Bridges posted 16 points (7-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 113-108 preseason win over the Hornets.
Bridges enjoyed a strong all-around showing, and while he wasn't all that efficient from downtown, he was decent from inside the arc and made strong contributions as a defender. The Villanova product has averaged 17.0 points per game or more in each of his previous three seasons and will again play a key role on both sides of the ball for New York heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

Rotowire
Bridges (rest) is set to be available for Friday's preseason finale against the Hornets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Following a maintenance day for Bridges in Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, he's likely to get some final reps in New York's closing exhibition tilt. The swingman will then gear up for Wednesday's season opener against Cleveland.
Bridges (rest) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Along with the rest of the Knicks' usual starting five, Bridges will sit out Monday's contest. The 29-year-old swingman's next opportunity to play will come in Friday's preseason finale against the Hornets.
Bridges finished with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and three steals in 25 minutes during Thursday's 100-95 preseason win over the Timberwolves.
Bridges avoided an injury scare Thursday. He grabbed his elbow following a hard screen, but he stayed in the game and looked to be in midseason form, particularly from beyond the arc. He's now scored in double figures in each of his first two preseason appearances and has provided some juice on the defensive end as he continues to prepare for the upcoming 2025-26 regular season.
Bridges racked up 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 17 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 win over the 76ers.
Bridges couldn't miss during the team's second preseason game, as he shot 100 percent from the field and the free-throw line. He continues to prove he's an ideal fit for New York and is already playing well under new head coach Mike Brown, even with limited time on the floor.
Bridges finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one rebound and two steals across 17 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason win over the 76ers.
Bridges and the majority of his team's starters played limited minutes during the preseason opener, with Mitchell Robinson leading the way at 18. Robinson stole the show with 16 rebounds, but Bridges was one of three players on the squad to crack double digits in the scoring column.
