Bridges recorded 19 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 30 minutes during the Hornets' 131-116 loss to the Clippers on Saturday.
Thanks to his work at the charity stripe, Bridges finished Saturday's game as the Hornets' third-leading scorer behind Kon Knueppel (26) and the returning Brandon Miller (21). The Hornets have a lot of mouths to feed on offense between Bridges, Knueppel, Miller and LaMelo Ball, so Bridges' usage on offense will be worth monitoring over the next several games. Bridges is averaging 22.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists over 34.9 minutes per game this season while shooting 42.2 percent from the field.
Hornets' Miles Bridges: Continues to score in bunches
Rotowire
Bridges provided 25 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 127-118 loss to the Pacers.
Bridges produced very well in what is becoming a standout season for the 27-year-old from Michigan State. He's averaging a career-high 22.1 points per game, boosted by a 25-point effort against Indiana. Bridges has reached the 20-point threshold in all but one of Charlotte's last six outings. His constant presence in the starting lineup is a runway for these kind of performances to continue.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Drops 22 in loss
Rotowire
Bridges ended with 22 points (9-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to Toronto.
Bridges extends his streak of hitting multiple three-pointers to five, averaging 24.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.0 steals 0.6 blocks and 4.2 threes made in that span. While the Hornets have not been very good this season, Bridges has definitely been one of the few bright spots.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Poor shooting performance
Rotowire
Bridges posted 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 109-96 loss to Oklahoma City.
Bridges saw the end of his streak of games with at least 20 points in this loss. While he had a subpar performance in terms of his shooting efficiency, Bridges still had a decent stat line and hit multiple threes for the fourth consecutive game. He's averaging 24.5 points per game while shooting 36.1 percent from deep since the beginning of November, so there's a strong chance this was nothing more than a down game for the forward.
Hornets' Miles Bridges: Sold output despite cold shooting
Rotowire
Bridges generated 20 points (7-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes of Wednesday's 111-100 win over the Bucks.
Bridges was ice cold from beyond the arc but still wound up with at least 20 points for the fifth time in six games. During that six-game stretch, Bridges is averaging 24.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists across 36.8 minutes. He led the Hornets in scoring Wednesday night.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Nets 34 points with full line
Rotowire
Bridges racked up 34 points (11-19 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 40 minutes during Monday's 121-111 loss to the Lakers.
Bridges shed his probable tag due to back spasms and put up a season high in points while logging 40 minutes of floor time, so he should be fine for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. He's hitting career highs in triples (3.2) and assists (4.0) through the first 10 games of the season, and he should continue to see increased playmaking responsibilities while LaMelo Ball (ankle) is out.

Bridges (back) is available for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Bridges, who was previously listed as probable due to back spasms, will suit up Monday. The forward has been on a strong run of late, averaging 22.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists over the Hornets' past five games.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Bridges (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Bridges is dealing with back spasms and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. If the 27-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Liam McNeeley, Tidjane Salaun and Pat Connaughton are candidates for an uptick in minutes.

Bridges recorded 29 points (7-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 12-12 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 win over Utah.
Bridges was the focal point of Charlotte's offensive attack Sunday evening, leading the way in scoring while also posting a serviceable effort as a distributor. He's off to a red-hot start to November, dropping 30 points Saturday against Minnesota before his impressive 29-point outburst on the way to the Hornets' third victory of the season.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Drops 30 points against MIN
Rotowire
Bridges generated 30 points (10-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes of Saturday's 122-105 loss to the Timberwolves.
Bridges set a season high in points Saturday, and he made six three-pointers in a game for the first time since March of 2024. The veteran wing has now logged at least eight rebounds in three of six games played, and he's yet to score fewer than 16 points in a game this season. No other Hornets player eclipsed 20 points Saturday night.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Nets 20 points in win
Rotowire
Bridges notched 20 points (6-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 139-113 victory over the Wizards.
Bridges was lights out from distance in his first two games of the season, but the 34.0 percent career three-point shooter saw a reversion to the mean Sunday evening, as he bricked six of his seven attempts from deep. Still, while his shot wasn't falling, he was able to get some easy points at the line, helping him to a solid fantasy performance overall.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Sniffs triple-double in loss
Rotowire
Bridges ended Saturday's 125-121 loss to Philadelphia with 18 points (6-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists over 35 minutes.
Bridges finished one rebound and three assists shy of recording a triple-double in Charlotte's loss. The 27-year-old is averaging 18.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists against just 1.0 turnovers per game across two outings in 2025-26. If Brandon Miller (shoulder) is forced to miss Sunday's contest versus the Wizards, expect Bridges' involvement to increase.

Rotowire
Bridges recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 victory over the Nets.
Bridges was a solid contributor Wednesday, joining eight other Hornets in double figures and teaming with Ryan Kalkbrenner as one of two players to post a double-double. The wing has proven to be a reliable scorer, averaging over 20 points in each of the past three seasons, though his efficiency has gradually dipped with each campaign.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Scores 20 points in 18 minutes
Rotowire
Bridges notched 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two turnovers in 18 minutes during Friday's 113-108 preseason loss to the Knicks.
Bridges lit it up over the final three preseason games, posting averages of 23.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 4.3 triples per contest, so he looks more than ready to attack the 2025-26 season. He'll again be one of the key cogs in Charlotte's offense and will make for a solid, mid-round target on draft day.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Excels in preseason win
Rotowire
Bridges logged 29 points (11-16 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes of Wednesday's 145-116 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
This had the look of a regular-season dress rehearsal, and the first unit for Charlotte had a field day. The offense was firing on all cylinders, and Bridges showed good chemistry alongside LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, with all three hoisting 16 shots apiece.

Bridges was efficient from deep, shooting 50 percent from beyond the arc while leading his squad in scoring (tied with LaMelo Ball). The veteran forward has played well in the preseason thus far, as he's done damage on the glass and with his outside shooting.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Nearly double-doubles
Rotowire
Bridges recorded eight points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes of Thursday's 122-116 preseason loss to the Thunder.
Bridges missed the Hornets' final three games of the 2024-25 regular season with a hip injury, but he had a clean bill of health over the offseason. Bridges was a sixth-round fantasy player on a per-game basis in nine-category formats in 2024-25, but there are likely to be fewer offensive looks to go around if the Hornets have some luck in the injury department, particularly with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller.
