Bridges hit a few three-pointers during the fourth quarter that helped beef up the final stat line, but he had a rough night from deep. The Knicks’ wing shot 3-of-11 from beyond the arc, with New York shooting 9-of-40 as a team. Bridges and the Knicks will look to end Week 11 on a high note when they host the 76ers on Saturday.

For the first time this season, Bridges has failed to record a steal or blocked shot in consecutive games. However, his offensive production has increased, with the Knicks wing having scored at least 20 points in three straight games for the first time since late October. Bridges remains a top-10 player in nine-cat formats and a top-20 player in eight-cat. For a player who entered the year with a Yahoo! ADP in the eighties, this has been an excellent first third of the season for Bridges.

For the second time in his last three appearances, Bridges failed to record a steal or blocked shot on Friday. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the Knicks wing was productive in the offensive categories. Also, this is the first time that Bridges has scored 20 points or more in at least two consecutive games since New York’s final three games of October. The Knicks end Week 9 with a home game against the Heat on Sunday.

Hart and Towns are back after sitting out Thursday’s win over the Pacers, with Mohamed Diawara and Ariel Hukporti heading to the bench. Neither player is guaranteed to remain in the rotation, as Miles McBride and Landry Shamet are the lone Knicks regulars who are not available.

While Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson were held out of Thursday’s game, there was no doubt that Bridges was going to extend his games played streak. He only had one blocked shot on Thursday, but the points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers were more than adequate. While he’s slipped just outside the top-20 in eight-cat per-game value, Bridges is still providing first-round value in nine-cat.

Bridges has now recorded at least two steals in 12 straight games, with that category being one of the reasons why he has been an elite fantasy option this season. The Knicks guard/forward recorded another complete stat line against the Hornets, and that has been the routine for him. Not only is Bridges continuing to provide top-10 value in nine-cat formats, but he’s closing in on that threshold in eight-cat formats as well.

After scoring five points on 2-of-4 from the field in the first half, Bridges caught fire and nearly helped the Knicks erase a 21-point second-half deficit. He hit seven three-pointers and scored 30 points, finishing with a season-high 35. In fact, this was Bridges’ first game with at least 20 points since November 17 against the Heat. The good news for those who have him rostered is that Bridges’ fantasy value isn’t solely dependent on points. He continues to provide top-10 value in nine-cat formats but should not be considered a “sell-high” option.

Fantasy managers can count on Bridges for efficient scoring and complete stat lines, which has been quite the departure from his first season with the Knicks. He didn’t make any three-pointers on Wednesday, but that doesn’t matter much when you record five “stocks” as Mikal did. He’s still providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats and shouldn’t be considered a “sell-high” candidate given his overall production and durability.

After shooting 1-of-5 from the field in the first half, Bridges shot 4-of-6 and scored 12 points in the third quarter. He finished with another complete stat line and continues to exceed expectations, providing first-round value in nine-cat formats. Add in his availability, which has never been an issue, and Bridges has been one of the most valuable players in fantasy basketball to this point in the season.

Bridges only shot 1-of-5 from deep on Wednesday, but the overall production remained solid for the versatile wing. Having entered the season with a Yahoo! ADP in the high-70s, Bridges is providing first-round value in nine-cat formats and second-round value in eight-cat. Thus far, he has been one of the best value picks in fantasy basketball, and there’s no reason to assume that will change anytime soon. Bridges managers can consider selling high, but that may not be a good idea due to his production and availability.

Bridges continues to provide elite category-league value, recording another complete stat line on Monday. With Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby out due to injury, the Knicks will need even more production from Bridges in the short term. With Monday’s performance, he’s now providing top-10 per-game value in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Bridges is a “sell high” candidate, but he’s shown no signs of slowing down.

Bridges continues to exceed the expectations of many fantasy managers, turning in another excellent all-around performance on Tuesday. He recorded his first 20-point game since Halloween and fourth of the season, but Bridges’ value isn’t measured solely by points. The four steals were a season-high, and he’s dished out at least five assists in seven games. By comparison, he had 29 games of at least five assists the entire 2024-25 season. Bridges is providing top-10 value in nine-cat formats, which may prompt some managers to sell high. However, given his availability — he’s yet to miss an NBA game — it may be better to hold onto Bridges.

While the season is still extremely young, Bridges continues to show signs of being a fantasy steal. He’s scored 20 points or more in three straight games and has provided excellent production across all categories. Bridges is providing first-round value in nine-cat formats, outperforming his Yahoo! ADP (77) significantly. He’ll look to continue his resurgence on Sunday when the Knicks host the Bulls in the teams’ final game of Week 2.

Bridges has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games and seems more comfortable with Mike Brown’s offensive system than he did playing for Tom Thibodeau last season. Bridges finished Tuesday’s win with his first double-double of the season and matched his season-high in assists. While he may not sustain the top-15 value he’s currently providing, Bridges is well-positioned to bounce back after an uneven 2024-25.

While Sunday’s performance was his first this season with at least 20 points, Bridges has gotten off to a much better start than last season. The Knicks wing has shot 50 percent or better in all three games while totaling 16 rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks, five steals and six three-pointers. A combination of being more comfortable with his teammates and the offensive system implemented by Mike Brown has been a factor. The Knicks play three games during Week 2, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.

The Knicks’ desire not to have the ball in Jalen Brunson’s hands as much benefits the team’s starting wings, Bridges and OG Anunoby. Both played well against the Cavaliers, with Anunoby leading the team in scoring and Bridges doing so in assists. In fact, all five starters recorded at least two assists, and the Knicks finished with 22 as a team. While he was underwhelming as a fantasy option in his first season with the team, Bridges could be more productive in 2025-26.

With three starters, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson, unavailable, Bridges saw even more of the basketball than he did during the Knicks’ other preseason games. Also of note was his grabbing five offensive rebounds and picking up the slack for the absent Robinson. While Bridges’ fantasy production underwhelmed last season, he’s yet to miss a game in his NBA career and may benefit from the head coaching change. Don’t be surprised if Bridges rebounds and has a good 2025-26.

The Knicks’ preseason home opener required overtime to determine the outcome, but Bridges and the other starters finished their work during the third quarter. Head coach Mike Brown’s desire for the team to play at a faster tempo will take some getting used to, but Bridges has looked relatively comfortable during New York’s three exhibition games. He shot 50 percent from the field against the Timberwolves and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Based on his current Yahoo! ADP of 80.7, managers may be undervaluing Bridges in early drafts.

As was the case in Thursday’s preseason opener, Bridges scored 10 points in Saturday’s victory. However, he did not miss a shot in the rematch after going 4-of-10 from the field against Philadelphia two days prior. If the first two games indicate how Bridges will be used during the regular season, he may have the ball in his hands more in the halfcourt. Doing this can help take some of the pressure off of Jalen Brunson (14/1/2/2 with two three-pointers), who has to run the offense and serve as New York’s first scoring option. This approach may raise Bridges’ fantasy ceiling, but he totaled one assist in two games against the 76ers.

With the 2025-26 season being the last on his current contract, this was an important summer for the Knicks to lock in Bridges as a member of the team’s core moving forward. His reported contract extension includes a player option for the final season (2029-30) and a trade kicker if he were to be dealt at any point. In his first season with the Knicks, Bridges started all 82 regular-season games, averaging 17.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 37.0 minutes. Continuing to serve as a key member of the Knicks’ starting lineup, Bridges is a safe bet to offer middle-round value in standard fantasy leagues next season.

As Tyrese Haliburton’s primary defender, Bridges has been asked to log heavy minutes in the Eastern Conference Finals. After playing 46 minutes in Game 1, he played another 45 on Friday, proving to be New York’s second-best offensive option. Once again, Bridges got going after halftime, shooting 8-of-13 from the field in the second half. With New York heading into Sunday’s Game 3 trailing two games to none, Bridges’ playing time is unlikely to decrease, especially with Josh Hart (6/6/1/1/1 in 29 minutes) not providing much offense.

After shooting 4-of-14 from the field in Wednesday’s Game 5 blowout defeat, Bridges needed to bounce back, as did many of his teammates. The Knicks wing got the job done in Game 6, shooting well over 50 percent from the field and recording a complete stat line. While there has been the occasional hiccup, Bridges has repeatedly reminded fans during this playoff run why the Knicks paid a high price to acquire him last summer. On Wednesday, the Knicks host the Pacers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

14 of Bridges’ 23 points came in the second half of one of the biggest Knicks playoff wins in decades. The 28-year-old small forward was his usual active self on the defensive end with four steals and a block. Still, his offensive contributions were potentially even more important, especially with so many of his points coming in the second half and when Jalen Brunson took a rest at the start of the fourth quarter. Bridges has been a thorn in the Celtics’ side this series and will look to keep that going in a potential close out game in Game 5 on Wednesday.

In this series, Bridges has been worth every first that New York had to trade away to acquire him. After ripping the ball away from Jaylen Brown to seal the Game 1 win, Bridges stole the ball from Jayson Tatum in the final seconds of Game 2 to give the Knicks a 2-0 lead as they head back home for Games 3 and 4. It was a rough first three quarters offensively for Bridges, but he scored all 14 of his points in the final frame. The box score doesn’t show just how impactful Bridges has been in this series, especially in the clutch.

Having last missed a basketball game during his junior year of high school, Bridges has been the NBA’s “iron man” since entering the league. However, that may have been extreme on Monday, as the Knicks wing played 51 of a possible 53 minutes. Bridges was fresh enough to make the game’s deciding play, as he ripped the ball away from Jaylen Brown before the Celtics guard could attempt a potential game-tying three-pointer. Bridges did not shoot the ball well, but he was impactful as a defender and playmaker to help the Knicks steal Game 1. Game 2 is on Wednesday.

Bridges’ three-point shooting struggles continued Thursday as he went 1-of-4 from behind the arc, but his 25 points were critical for a Knicks team desperate for scoring from anyone not named Jalen Brunson. Bridges was 10-of-12 on two-point field goals and none was bigger than his game-tying left-handed tip-in with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. The Knicks are going to need more consistent offensive performances from Bridges if they’re going to have any chance of getting past the Celtics in round two.

After scoring eight points in New York’s series-opening victory, Bridges totaled 39 in Games 2 and 3. He did a bit of everything on Thursday, recording a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. With the Knicks looking to give Jalen Brunson the occasional respite while on the court, Bridges has done a little more in the way of playmaking in this series. That has not resulted in an explosion in the assist category, but it has ensured that Bridges remains involved offensively. Game 4 is on Sunday afternoon in Detroit.

Bridges was the second-leading scorer behind Jalen Brunson (37) for the Knicks in this game, but he still wasn’t great, especially down the stretch. He was held scoreless in the fourth quarter and missed multiple clean looks late in the game, including a three-pointer with 11 seconds left that would’ve tied this game. Instead, New York will now head to Detroit for Game 3 with the series tied at one game apiece. Bridges only had eight points in Game 1, and they’ll need him to be much better for the Knicks to reclaim homecourt advantage in this series.

The Knicks secured the third seed in the East before Sunday’s game, so there isn’t anything on the line besides Bridges’s games-played streak. He logged six seconds before intentionally fouling a Nets player, with Landry Shamet replacing him in the lineup. Bridges, whose NBA games-played streak is 556, has not missed a game since high school. He’ll be ready for the Knicks’ first-round matchup with the Pistons next weekend.
