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.

On the second night of a back-to-back, Bridges nearly equalled the 30 points he recorded against the Timberwolves on Saturday. His shooting was much less efficient on Sunday, but he still made his way to the charity stripe frequently to help land his scoring production. Bridges also made contributions as a facilitator and added multiple makes from beyond the arc. Overall, his performance against the Jazz was enough to stop the Hornets’ three-game losing streak and put them in the win column for only the third time this season.

Bridges was one of the few bright spots for Charlotte in an eventual one-sided contest as he knocked down eight of his first 11 shots, including five three-pointers to close the first half with a game-high 21 points. He was relatively quiet in the second half as Minnesota pulled away by outscoring Charlotte 36-18 in the third quarter. It’s certainly encouraging to see him shoot well in this one against one of the better defensive teams in the league.

This was a disappointing performance from Bridges outside of the rebounds and three-pointers. He did not record any assists, steals or blocked shots, much to the chagrin of fantasy managers who have him rostered. More concerning is the continued poor shooting, with Bridges making just 39.5 percent of his attempts through five games. He remains a top-100 player, but Bridges would be far more valuable with a better field-goal percentage.

Bridges, who only logged 18 minutes on Friday, finishes his preseason with a flourish. The Hornets forward scored 20 points or more in his final three games while shooting 26-of-47 from the field. While he isn’t a lock to provide top-50 value, due mainly to inconsistent defensive production, Bridges should be a relatively safe middle-round option in standard leagues. Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 63, it’s apparent that many fantasy managers view him similarly.

Bridges scored a total of 15 points over his first two preseason games but has surpassed 20 in each of his last two. He was joined by LaMelo Ball (23) and Brandon Miller (21) in scoring at least 20 points. If all three are able to score at this rate, the Hornets will have a chance to push for a postseason spot. This was a strong night for Bridges, but he likely won’t shoot quite this well during the regular season often.

Bridges and Williams will be unavailable for Charlotte’s season finale, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Tidjane Salaue and Jusuf Nurkic are the likely starters, with Moussa Diabate (illness, questionable) also factoring into the center rotation if he’s allowed to play. Bridges performed to expectation this season, providing sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While Williams exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (102), injuries limited him to 44 appearances. The young center possesses a high fantasy ceiling, but the injury history makes him challenging to trust in competitive leagues.

At this stage in the season, Bridges is Charlotte’s only healthy fantasy-relevant player. While he did score a team-high 22 points against the Kings, the Hornets forward had a rough night shooting the basketball. Bridges was 2-of-11 from beyond the arc, which did a number on his overall field-goal percentage. Over the past two weeks, Miles has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats and is ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat. Charlotte ends Week 22 with a home game against the Bulls on Sunday.

Bridges played just 24 minutes in the Hornets’ 14-point loss. The 27-year-old small forward is the primary offensive option for Charlotte with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sidelined. Bridges was efficient with 18 points on 10 shots including two made three-pointers. He’s scored at least 20 points in just three of his last nine games, but should have a higher scoring ceiling as the No. 1 option for the Hornets.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, Bridges is officially available. He’ll take his usual place within the starting lineup, and Bridges’ availability also means Tidjane Salaun will miss out on an increase in his playing time.
