Impressive against Warriors Bridges totaled 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, three blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 125-113 victory over the Warriors.
Impact The Suns were without Deandre Ayton (ankle), Chris Paul (hip), Devin Booker (groin), Cameron Payne (foot) and Landry Shamet (hip), so it was time for the role players to step their game up and for the starters, it was the time to shine and garner a bigger role on offense. That's exactly what happened with Bridges, and he delivered, as he led the Suns in scoring while also contributing decent numbers in other categories. He has scored in double digits in nine games in a row and is averaging 15.2 points per game in that span.

Solid numbers against Wizards Bridges produced 17 points (6-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 127-102 loss to Washington.
Impact It was a bit of a return to form for Bridges, who had averaged just 9.5 points a game over the prior four contests while going 4-for-14 (28.6 percent) from three-point range. The 26-year-old forward has had an up-and-down December, scoring 20 or more points in five of the first 10 games on the month before his recent skid, but the Suns will need some consistent offense from him heading into the new year with Devin Booker (groin) out for at least the next four weeks.

Does little in hefty minutes Bridges produced 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 loss to Washington.
Impact Bridges played more minutes than his season average (36.4), but he could not take advantage of the minutes, shooting poorly from the field and turning the ball over four times Tuesday. Despite the lackluster effort against the Grizzlies, Bridges' sheer volume of playing time earns him a spot inside the top 75 in per-game fantasy production, making him worth a starting spot in most fantasy lineups.

Forgets how to shoot Tuesday Bridges recorded 18 points (4-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to Houston.
Impact Bridges shot a woeful 4-of-24 from the floor in the loss, dragging down the field-goal percentage of anyone saddled with him in fantasy. While this was obviously a low point, he still added a pair of steals and went a perfect 8-of-8 from the line, somewhat salvaging his evening. Bridges has been great this season, so managers simply need to let this one slide and hope for an improved performance in Los Angeles on Thursday.
