Mikal Bridges News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Scores 21 points in win Sunday Bridges logged 21 points (9-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 45 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 victory over Brooklyn.

Impact Four of the five New York starters scored at least 20 points in this win, and Bridges ended as the second-best performer behind Karl-Anthony Towns' 24-point, 15-rebound, six-assist performance. Bridges endured a rough start to the season but has been turning things around of late, putting up at least 20 points in each of his last three appearances.

Held in check Bridges closed with eight points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 42 minutes during Sunday's 132-121 loss to the Pacers.

Impact For the first time in nine outings, Bridges was held to single-digit points. It was certainly a night to forget, as Bridges missed all six of his three-point attempts. He's currently on pace to hit a career-low from beyond the arc with a 31.7 percent mark, so fantasy managers will be hoping for some positive regression.

Three swipes vs. Detroit Bridges supplied 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 128-98 win over the Pistons.

Impact Bridges took a back seat to Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns in the scoring category Friday, but Bridges showed off his defensive chops with a team-leading three steals. Bridges has logged two or more steals over his last three outings, and for the season he's averaging 17.6 points on 52.2 percent shooting, 3.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals over 36.6 minutes per game.

Impact Bridges continues to struggle with his shot from deep, but his consistency, as well as his ability to make an impact in other categories, have prevented him from enduring a woeful start to his life as a Knick. Bridges is averaging 18.3 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in his first four appearances.

Hits for 16 in team debut Bridges registered 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and two assists in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 132-109 loss to the Celtics.

Impact It was a solid showing for Bridges in his first game with the Knicks. The 28-year-old is expected to be one of the main scoring threats on a remade roster alongside Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, and Bridges could return to the 20 PPG plateau he fell just short of last season with the Nets.

Tallies three steals in 31 minutes Bridges accumulated 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3PT, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and three steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over Washington.

Impact Following his trade to New York, the hope is that Bridges will be able to return to being a top-50 fantasy asset this season. This will undoubtedly start on the defensive end, an element of his game that has taken a hit over the past two years. His three steals Wednesday were a great start, coupled with the fact that he played 31 minutes in what was a comfortable preseason victory.
