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: 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

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 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.
