• Suns' Mikal Bridges: Double-doubles with 21 and 10

  03/09/2020 •

  Bridges put up 21 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 43 minutes during Sunday's 140-131 triumph over the Bucks. It was another solid outing for Bridges, but the best part might have been the huge minutes he received. After a quiet first quarter, Bridges really came alive late, doing most of his damage in the second half. The 23-year old has gained mainstream fantasy appeal of late, averaging 13.9 points, 4.4 boards, 2.7 dimes, 2.1 triples, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game over his last seven outings while shooting 57.1 percent from the field and 100 percent from the line. He should continue to see heavy minutes in the weeks to come with Kelly Oubre (knee) seemingly at risk of missing the remainder of the season.
