Bridges totaled 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 win over Brooklyn.
Bridges posted a strong all-around line after failing to tally either a block or steal in four consecutive games. He shot the basketball with efficiency on the offensive end and set a new season high in steals. Bridges is averaging 15.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last four appearances.

Rotowire
Bridges notched 14 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Sunday's 114-99 loss to the Celtics.
Bridges was Charlotte's leading scorer through the first half of action, but the Celtics held him to just four points over the second half. The 27-year-old forward has struggled to make much of an impact over the past four games, posting modest averages of 12.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Mild effort in win
Rotowire
Bridges produced nine points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 134-90 win over the Kings.
This was a tame effort by Bridges' standards, with the Hornets utilizing a balanced attack Tuesday in the blowout win. Brandon Miller led all starters in minutes played (27), so Bridges' fantasy managers can write this off as an outlier.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Quiet outing in win
Rotowire
Bridges accumulated 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and three rebounds in 23 minutes during Thursday's 130-111 win over Orlando.
This was a quiet outing by Bridges' standards, but the entire starting group saw reduced minutes in the blowout win. Bridges has been solid over his last seven outings, averaging 16.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Drops 26 points in win
Rotowire
Bridges accumulated 26 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-109 victory over the Kings.
Bridges finally found some rhythm on the offensive end, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in his past 10 games. It was a welcome return to form for Bridges, who has struggled to put up top-200 value in those 10 games over the past month. While this was an encouraging performance, Charlotte now plays only twice in the next seven days, meaning fantasy managers may have to make some tough decisions when it comes to someone like Bridges.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Posts 16 points in defeat
Rotowire
Bridges racked up 16 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to Phoenix.
Although Bridges has recorded solid rebounding totals since his return to action, his recent scoring totals have all fallen below his seasonal average. His 16 points matched his best result since coming back from a four-game absence, and his work off the glass should remain steady while the Hornets struggle to find healthy options under the basket.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Needs 13 shots for 12 points
Rotowire
Bridges amassed 12 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 128-120 loss to the Heat.
Bridges has been mired in a shooting funk over the past three games, going just 11-for-36 from the floor and 3-for-15 from three-point range. Four of his five makes Friday evening were dunks, and he didn't convert anything outside of six feet from the rim. The Hornets will draw another difficult matchup against the Suns on Sunday, so it could be tough for Bridges to bust out of this slump in that one.

Rotowire
Bridges finished Wednesday's 118-89 victory over the Celtics with nine points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes.
Bridges continues to serve up very little when compared to what he was doing to begin the season. Despite an assured role in the starting lineup, Bridges has been far from a starter-level player. In nine appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 150 during that time.

Rotowire
Bridges supplied 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 131-99 win over the Bulls.
Bridges made an immediate impact in his return from suspension for his role in an altercation with the Pistons earlier this month. He was especially sharp from downtown, making four threes en route to 16 points. He saw only 22 minutes of action as the Hornets buried the Bulls, outscoring them 42-16 in the third quarter.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Suspended four games
Rotowire
The NBA suspended Bridges for four games for his altercation Monday against the Pistons, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Isaiah Stewart received the biggest suspension with seven games, and Bridges was right behind him with four. Fantasy managers knew something like this was coming, and now Bridges is ineligible to play until Feb. 24 against the Bulls. In the meantime, players such as Grant Williams and Sion James could see more minutes for the Hornets.

Rotowire
Bridges was ejected during the third quarter of Monday's game against the Pistons, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. He'll exit with six points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes.
Bridges was involved in a heated altercation at the 7:09 mark of the third quarter that also included teammate Moussa Diabate and opponents Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart, resulting in all four players being ejected. It remains to be seen whether further discipline will follow, but Grant Williams and Sion James are candidates to see increased opportunities down the stretch Monday.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Back on track Saturday
Rotowire
Bridges posted 26 points (10-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 126-119 victory over the Hawks.
Bridges finally turned things around, scoring at least 25 points for the first time in his past 12 games. Although the peripheral numbers continue to be somewhat underwhelming, it was good to see him figure things out on the offensive end of the court. In seven appearances over the past two weeks, Bridges has averaged 16.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per game.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Notches season averages
Rotowire
Bridges ended Thursday's 109-99 victory over Houston with 18 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes.
Bridges' 18 points and four assists against the Rockets mirror his averages for the season. It was a nice bounce-back performance after scoring only nine in his last outing. With the addition of Coby White (hamstring) at the deadline, Charlotte now has five players on its roster averaging more than 18 points per game. It will be worth monitoring who takes a back seat once White is added to the mix.
Bridges notched nine points (3-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Monday's 102-95 win over the Pelicans.
Bridges underwhelmed once again, continuing what has been a rough month for fantasy managers. In 17 games during that time, he has averaged 14.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per game. With the roster largely healthy, it has been Bridges who has taken the biggest hit in terms of production. He remains a viable asset across most formats, albeit one with less upside than expected.
Bridges registered 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 win over the Grizzlies.
Bridges entered Wednesday's game averaging just 11.8 points in his past six contests, including two single-digit scoring efforts. He appears to be back on track now after scoring 20 points for the second time in his past three games. He also sank four threes against Memphis as the Hornets won comfortably.

Hornets' Miles Bridges: Quiet stretch continues
Rotowire
Bridges posted 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 19 minutes during Monday's 130-93 win over the 76ers.
The 19 minutes represent Bridges' second-fewest total of the season, though it was likely a byproduct of Monday's blowout. It's been a quiet stretch for the star forward, who has averaged 11.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last six games.
