Scores team-high 28 points Bridges closed with 28 points (10-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Monday's 128-125 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Bridges scored at least 20 points for the ninth time in the past 11 games, leading the Hornets to an improbable victory. Despite trailing coming into the fourth quarter, the Hornets rallied late, led by Bridges. He has been a borderline top-50 player this season, averaging 20.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. Despite the Hornets' poor record, Bridges appears locked in for a major role moving forward.

Records double-double in loss Bridges supplied 25 points (9-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes during Saturday's 97-89 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Bridges has been Charlotte's best player this season by a wide margin, and not even the return of LaMelo Ball, who missed Saturday's contest with an ankle problem, has generated a decrease in his figures, particularly in the scoring column. Bridges has scored 20 or more points in eight of his 10 appearances this month, averaging 23.0 points while shooting 50.6 percent from the field in that stretch.

Plays game-high 39 minutes Friday Bridges produced 23 points (10-15 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 39 minutes during Friday's 124-120 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Bridges continues to log heavy minutes for the Hornets and came into Friday's contest averaging 36.6 minutes per game, which ranks sixth in the NBA. Bridges has had a strong start to the new year and is averaging 22.8 points on 50.6 percent shooting (including 42.3 percent from three), 6.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 37.1 minutes per game in January.

Productive on offense once again Bridges ended Wednesday's 132-112 loss to New Orleans with 19 points (8-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes.

Impact Bridges couldn't hit the 20-point mark Wednesday, but it's worth noting he's reached that mark in six of his eight outings this month. The return of LaMelo Ball will reduce Bridges' touches on offense, but he should remain a valuable offensive weapon for a struggling Charlotte team. He's averaging 22.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 42.3 percent from three-point range in January.
