Miles Bridges

Bridges enjoyed a torrid scoring streak from late February to mid-March in which he averaged 28.3 points on 48.9% shooting. In five games since then, he's scored 70 total points on 26-of-76 shooting. Bridges will shoot his way out his current slump, and fantasy managers will just have to hope that he does so sooner rather than later.

After only making two shots during the first three periods of Sunday's game, Bridges made five in the fourth. That flurry salvaged what was primarily an underwhelming effort from the Hornets forward, whose 13 rebounds were one shy of his season-high. However, over the past two weeks, Bridges has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats. The Hornets begin a three-game Week 21 on Tuesday when the Magic visit Charlotte.

Bridges was able to play in both legs of Charlotte's back-to-back after missing Tuesday's game against Atlanta. He was better as a scorer on Friday than he was on Thursday, and he was still able to contribute some value in other categories. He only played 26 minutes because of the lopsided score, but it was encouraging that he was able to get to 20 points after two games in a row with fewer after a seven-game streak with at least 20 points. They'll close out the week in Miami on Sunday.

Bridges was given a rest night on Tuesday against Atlanta, but he was listed as probable with an illness for this game, so perhaps that was the issue on Tuesday. There is a chance that the illness played a role in Bridges' poor shooting night, and it ended up being the second-straight subpar shooting night for him after an excellent stretch. Charlotte still has two more games this week, including the second night of a back-to-back on Friday.

Both players missed Tuesday's game against Atlanta but were initially listed as probable against New York. They have now officially been cleared to return to the lineup, which means that Damion Baugh and Seth Curry should return to reserve roles.
