Shoots poorly in loss Bridges logged 23 points (6-18 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven assists and five rebounds in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 132-100 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Bridges was the most productive Phoenix player in Wednesday's blowout defeat, leading the team in points and assists while pulling down five boards. However, his performance wasn't entirely positive, given his 6-for-18 shooting mark from the field and lack of any defensive stats. Bridges did knock down all 10 of his free-throw attempts to somewhat make up for his poor 1-for-7 mark from three-point range, and he extended his streak of scoring 20-plus points to three straight contests.

Stays hot in win Bridges finished Monday's 114-106 win over the Raptors with 29 points (12-19 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block across 39 minutes.
Impact Bridges has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last nine appearances and is averaging 23.0 points, 5.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.7 steals with 50.0/91.7/43.5 shooting splits during that stretch. The fifth-year pro has blossomed into a go-to player with Devin Booker (groin) and Chris Paul (hip) sidelined for extended periods, but even with the latter back in the lineup, Bridges continues to lead Phoenix's offense. However, the eventual return of Booker figures to eat into Bridges' fantasy value.

During the six-game stretch, Bridges is converting on 50 percent of his field goals, 41.7 percent of his three-pointers and 84.6 percent of his free throws.
