Mikal Bridges

Bridges has bounced back nicely after scoring six points on 2-of-14 shooting against Oklahoma City and Milwaukee. Having scored 27 points in Monday's loss to the Pistons, the Knicks wing put up 23 more on Wednesday, surpassing the 20-point mark for the third time in six games. Bridges' fantasy value hasn't been good over the past two weeks, as he sits just outside the top 175. However, he remains a top 75 player for the season overall.

With Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined, Sims will slide into the starting unit. In his last start, he grabbed 10 rebounds in 29 minutes, while Precious Achiuwa logged 22 minutes off the bench. Both will play larger roles with KAT out.

Andre Snellings looks at how things have shifted on the Knicks this season with the arrival of Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges, and the impact it has on fantasy and betting.

Bridges was very efficient from the floor as he went 9-of-13 and made 6-of-8 attempts from behind the 3-point line. The 28-year-old small forward has scored at least 24 points in four of his last five games. Bridges has provided third round fantasy value over the last two weeks as he continues to progress after a slow start to the season.

The Knicks had a tough shooting night in their loss to the Thunder, but Mikal Bridges did not make a shot and finished with zero points.
