• Suns' Mikal Bridges: Goes off for 24 points

  3D ago •

  Bridges registered 24 points (8-15 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 41 minutes in Friday's overtime loss against the Nuggets. Bridges ended as one of three Phoenix players that surpassed the 20-point mark, and he also registered his first double-double of the campaign in the process. Bridges was coming off an eight-point performance the last time out, but he bounced back with one of his best scoring outputs of the campaign. His long-term production might be somewhere in between both games, but one thing is certain -- he should remain a reliable contributor across most formats, especially if Devin Booker (hamstring) is forced to miss a few games.

• Suns' Mikal Bridges: Huge night in victory

  16D ago •

  Bridges recorded a career-high 34 points (12-18 FG, 6-8 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go with three rebounds, two assists and one block in 35 minutes Saturday in the Suns' 125-117 win over the Pacers. Through his first two seasons in the NBA, Bridges brought most of his fantasy value in the form of his output in the defensive categories, but he's taken on an expanded role offensively in his third year with the Suns. Even before Saturday's career-best effort, Bridges had already been thriving as a secondary scorer, averaging 13.1 points per game on 45.3 percent shooting from the field and 42.3 percent from three-point range. Even in shallower leagues, Bridges shouldn't be left on any waiver wire.

  Bridges had seven points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks in Sunday's loss to the Clippers. It was the least efficient game of the young season for Bridges, who converted just one of his five attempts from downtown but was still able to provide a pair of blocks and a season-high eight boards. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Phoenix, a stretch during which Bridges averaged 16.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 steal per game.
