Bridges was back in the lineup after serving a four-game suspension, though he only played 22 minutes in his return due to the lopsided score. He was able to put together a solid stat line, and if the game was closer, he may have been able to have a more productive outing. They’ll head to Indiana to play on Thursday, and Bridges should be able to contribute more in his typical role.

Bridges was suspended for fighting and escalating the altercation, according to a release from the NBA. The 27-year-old charged the Pistons’ Jalen Duren, who was in an altercation with Hornets center Moussa Diabate, before he was restrained. Bridges will begin serving his suspension on Wednesday against the Hawks. Grant Williams is likely to start and play additional minutes with Bridges out of the lineup.

While his shooting struggles did not prevent the Hornets from extending their win streak to eight games, Bridges entered Saturday shooting 38.6 percent from the field over the last four. He got back on track in Atlanta, making his shots at a high clip while also providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Bridges and the Hornets will look to extend their win streak to ten games on Monday against the East-leading Pistons.

After scoring nine points in Monday’s win over the Pelicans, Bridges doubled his output as Charlotte extended its win streak to eight games. While he hasn’t been the flashiest fantasy option, the Hornets’ forward has offered consistent value, ranking within the top-100 in nine-cat formats. Bridges’ value takes a hit in turnover-punt builds, but fantasy managers should not be concerned.

Bridges has had some rough performances in January, but this was a solid one. He came close to recording a triple-double, and he was able to contribute on the defensive end, which he hasn’t been able to do often this year. He had shot better than 50 percent in three straight games prior to this one, and he’ll look to get back to his hot shooting ways against the Spurs on Saturday.

Bridges played just 28 minutes on Wednesday and, despite not generating many shot attempts, he scored efficiently and finished as one of two starters to log 20 or more points. More than half of his scoring production came from beyond the arc, which keyed his success on the offensive end of the floor. The veteran forward did a little bit on the glass, but not too much else in this game. He’ll next take the floor against the Mavericks on Thursday.

Bridges did a bit of everything in the Hornets’ victory, making contributions as a scorer, rebounder and facilitator on Thursday. The veteran forward had a great impact from beyond the arc, where he combined for more makes against the Lakers than he had total over the previous two games. His three-point outburst was part of a night in which the Hornets amassed 20 three-pointers as a team to put the Lakers’ defense in a tough spot. Bridges will have a chance to put together another strong stat line against the Warriors on Saturday.

Bridges was initially listed as probable with a knee injury, so his availability for Monday’s game against the Clippers is hardly a surprise. He will take his usual spot in the starting lineup and won’t be on a minutes restriction.

The probable tag suggests that Bridges is closer to playing on Monday than not. The last time he missed a game, Collin Sexton was moved into the starting lineup alongside LaMelo Ball.

Limited to 12 points in Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors, Bridges was a bit more effective on Thursday. He’s recorded at least four assists in each of his last three games, and the Hornets’ forward has offered top-50 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While Bridges’ fantasy ceiling isn’t particularly high, he provides a solid floor for managers seeking consistent production.

Bridges delivered an impressive all-around stat sheet-stuffing performance as Charlotte erased an early deficit, outscoring Chicago 62-41 in the second half to pull away for a relatively easy win. The 27-year-old forward has scored at least 25 points in back-to-back games as he continues to receive additional creation possessions and play a larger role from a rebounding standpoint due to injuries. The Hornets have four games next week including matchups against the Thunder, Raptors, Pacers and Jazz.

Bridges delivered a pair of clutch buckets in the final minute but it still wasn’t enough as Giannis and company made just enough plays in the closing seconds to outlast the Hornets in this one. The 27-year-old forward put together his first 20-point effort since December 14 and looked sharp in his return after a brief one-game absence due to an ankle injury.

Bridges is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Warriors. Collin Sexton was his replacement in the starting lineup, but the guard could remain in the first five because Charlotte does not have its top three centers. Sexton is worth holding onto in deep leagues.

Bridges was held out of Wednesday’s loss to the Warriors, with Collin Sexton playing 27 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. Look for Sexton to head to the bench if Bridges plays, and it appears more likely than not that he will.

Bridges injured his right ankle on Monday against the Bucks, and the injury will cost him at least one game. Kon Knueppel (ankle) is back in action, but the Hornets could give more minutes to Tidjane Salaun, Collin Sexton and potentially Sion James to make up for the absence of Bridges.

Bridges sprained his right ankle during the first half of Monday’s loss to the Bucks and exited after seven minutes of action. With Kon Knueppel (ankle) considered probable, there’s a chance that Sion James remains in the starting lineup for another game if Bridges can’t play.

Bridges suffered a right ankle injury during the first half of Monday’s game, playing seven minutes before having to exit. Tidjane Salaün should play more minutes off the bench, while fellow reserve Collin Sexton may see his usage increase due to Charlotte’s need for offensive production.

After shooting 2-of-9 from the field in the first half, Bridges made 80 percent of his attempts after halftime to boost the final point total. A combination of a low field-goal percentage and limited defensive production has negatively impacted Bridges’ fantasy value, but he remains a top-100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

It’s safe to say that Bridges has snapped out of the mini-slump he found himself in after dropping 35 points on the Raptors back on November 29. He finished Friday’s defeat with his fifth 30-point game of the season, one shy of his total for the 2024-25 campaign. With LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller having missed extended time due to injury, Bridges has been one of the Hornets’ few constants in fantasy basketball this season. The Hornets end Week 8 with a road game against the Cavaliers on Sunday.

With LaMelo Ball and Collin Sexton unavailable due to injury, Bridges spent more time on the ball as a playmaker on Sunday. That factored into him dishing out a season-high eight assists, finishing two helpers and a rebound shy of a triple-double. Sunday’s performance occurred at a good time for Bridges and those who have him rostered, as he’s ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat per-game value over the past two weeks. He’ll look to build on Sunday’s showing in Week 8, with the Hornets playing on Friday and Sunday.

Bridges wasn’t too thrilled with the performances of either himself or his teammates in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. He’s backed up the words that followed that blowout loss with actions, totaling 57 points in wins over the Bulls and Raptors. Saturday’s 35 points were a season high for the athletic forward, who has four 30-point games to his name in 2025-26. Bridges and the Hornets play four games in Week 7, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Bridges had one of his better statistical performances of the season in this one. He matched his season high for assists and approached triple-double territory. Bridges is currently averaging career highs in both points and three-pointers, and the volume of triples has helped to offset the worst field goal percentage of his career. That wasn’t an issue in this game, which resulted in one of his best games of the year.

Bridges had a rough night at the foul line, and he did not record any defensive stats, either. Despite limited defensive production, the veteran forward is still providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. As long as Bridges avoids a late-season shutdown, he should remain a reliable option for managers needing scoring at the forward positions.

While Bridges did record a complete stat line in Atlanta, it had the potential to be even better. The Hornets forward shot 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. Since going on a run of six straight games with at least two three-pointers, Bridges went 1-of-10 in losses to the Clippers and Hawks. However, he’s still averaging a career-high 2.9 three-pointers per game, which is one reason Bridges has been a third-round player in nine-cat formats. The Hornets play three games during Week 6, starting with the Knicks on Wednesday.

Bridges led six Hornets in double figures with 20 points, a threshold he’s met or exceeded in five of the six games Charlotte has played in November. Since the first of the month, the Hornets forward has provided second-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller still out due to injury, a lot of offense will continue to run through Bridges. And that’s good for those who have him rostered, given how well he’s playing.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game with back spasms, Bridges looked fine against the Lakers. He shot well over 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line while only committing two turnovers. With LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller out due to injury, most of the offense has run through Bridges, and he’s closing in on top-25 value in nine-cat formats. While some may be tempted to sell high, the circumstances make Bridges a player worth holding onto until there’s a clearer idea of how much longer Ball and Miller will be out.

Bridges was originally listed as questionable with back spasms over the weekend, but was upgraded to probable Monday afternoon. Now that Bridges is officially available, expect him to handle his typical workload against the Lakers.

Bridges hasn’t missed a game this season, and of course Monday’s matchup with LA will be no exception. Expect him to take the floor and handle his usual allotment of minutes.

Bridges is dealing with back spasms, which is why he is on the injury report for Monday night. He’s yet to miss a game this season, and Bridges not playing would leave a sizable hole in the Hornets’ rotation. Pat Connaughton may figure more prominently in the rotation after playing 10 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Heat, but he would not be worth streaming.

On the heels of a 29-point performance over the weekend in a blowout win over Utah without LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Brandon Miller (shoulder), Bridges reached the 20-point plateau once again in this one. He had a chance to give the Hornets the lead in the closing seconds, but his fadeaway three-pointer came up short. He did most of his damage in the first half of this one when he drained three of five three-point attempts to notch a game-high 16 points at the break. He’ll be asked to carry Charlotte’s offense while both Ball and Bridges are out.
