Scores 14 points with 13 shots Bridges closed Friday's 135-99 loss to the Spurs with 14 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes.

Impact Bridges was one of the few Charlotte players who managed to score in double digits in what was a woeful offensive showing from the Hornets, and he still struggled badly from the field compared to what he'd been doing in recent games. Despite the overall struggles, Bridges should remain one of Charlotte's go-to players on offense, and as long as he remains available and healthy, he should have a decent impact in most formats. He's averaging 21.7 points per game over his last 10 appearances while reaching the 20-point mark eight times in that stretch.

Needs 21 shots to score 24 points Bridges registered 24 points (10-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 123-98 loss to the Kings.

Impact Bridges didn't have a good shooting performance Wednesday, but the lack of efficiency didn't prevent him from delivering a solid stat line. Bridges has been one of Charlotte's most reliable fantasy performers in recent weeks, hitting the 20-point plateau in five consecutive games and eight of his last nine appearances. He's averaging 22.6 points per game in that nine-game stretch.

Pops for 24 in OT loss Bridges posted 24 points (9-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 119-112 overtime loss to the Bulls.

Impact The 25-year-old forward has scored 20 or more points in seven of the last eight games, averaging 22.4 points, 7.1 boards, 4.1 assists, 2.9 threes, 1.3 blocks and 0,8 steals over that stretch. Bridges has shown remarkably little rust since his lengthy suspension was lifted, and the Hornets' offense could be about to get a boost as LaMelo Ball (ankle) nears his return.

Impressive despite defeat Bridges notched 28 points (12-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 42 minutes during Friday's 104-91 loss to Chicago.

Impact The Hornets have endured a fair share of struggles on offense this season, but Bridges has consistently been a bright spot on that end of the court since he made his regular-season debut on Nov. 17. He's been particularly impressive of late, as he's riding a three-game streak with 25 or more points, and he has reached the 20-point mark in six of his last seven outings. Expect him to remain a prominent offensive piece when the Hornets play a rematch with the Bulls on Monday, though Charlotte will be at home this time.

Drops 27 points in victory Bridges ended with 27 points (9-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 111-104 win over the Kings.

Impact Bridges finished as Charlotte's second-leading scorer Tuesday, trailing only Terry Rozier, who put up 34 points. This was the fifth time over his past six games that Bridges has hit the 20-point mark, and he's been unusually productive as a shot blocker over that span as well, averaging 1.3 swats. It's unlikely that he'll keep up the block numbers given that he's never averaged more than 0.8 swats in a season, but Bridges offers plenty for fantasy managers to be excited about, as he's averaging 20.0 points, 7.1 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.0 triples and 1.2 thefts over 21 contests this season.

Leads skeleton crew Bridges produced 26 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 111-93 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Bridges posted a game-high 26 points while Charlotte operated without Terry Rozier (illness) in addition to ongoing absences from Gordon Hayward (calf), Mark Williams (back) and LaMelo Ball (ankle). Bridges entered Monday's contest shooting 34.1 percent from the field and 25.6 percent from deep over his last four games, so his efficient showing -- despite being a defensive focal point -- was impressive.

Team-high 20 in loss Bridges registered 20 points (7-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 33 minutes during Thursday's 133-112 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The 25-year-old forward led the Hornets in scoring as he popped for at least 20 points for the third straight game. Bridges is averaging 19.5 points, 6.8 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals through 11 games in December, but the rust from his lengthy absence is showing as he's shooting just 41.6 percent from the floor and 26.8 percent (22-for-82) from three-point range during that time.

Records double-double in loss Bridges closed with 21 points (9-23 FG, 3-10 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 113-104 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Birdges notched his fifth double-double of the season, and he continues to prop up the Hornets as they continue on without LaMelo Ball (ankle). A slight downturn may be in store for Bridges once Ball returns, and he may be back in the lineup as early as this weekend. Still, Bridges will continue to make an impact at the four and provide multi-category contribution.

Impact Bridges led all Hornets in scoring while ending two rebounds short of a double-double along with a trio of blocks and a pair of steals in a well-rounded performance. Bridges has tallied 20 or more points in seven games this season, adding eight or more rebounds in five of those outings.

Solid outing against Indiana Bridges recorded 19 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 144-113 loss to Indiana.

Impact Bridges returned to action Wednesday after missing Monday's contest against the Raptors, as he was denied entry to Canada due to his current legal situation. The 25-year-old forward tied his second high with three steals and was Charlotte's third-leading scorer.

Ruled out for Monday Bridges (not injury related) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto.

Impact Bridges was considered unlikely to play Monday after he was denied entry into Canada due to his current legal situation. While the Hornets attempted to overturn the decision, they were unable to, and Bridges will be unavailable for the first time since returning from his 10-game suspension to begin the season. JT Thor and Nick Richards could see increased run against the Raptors, while Bridges should be available for Wednesday's game against Indiana.

Unlikely to play Monday Bridges (not injury related) is unlikely to play Monday in Toronto, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Bridges was denied entry into Canada due to his current legal situation, and the Hornets are attempting to reverse the decision, but it doesn't look like that'll happen before Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. LaMelo Ball (ankle) remains out, Mark Williams (back) is doubtful and P.J. Washington (shoulder) and Gordon Hayward (illness) are questionable, so the Hornets may be extremely shorthanded versus Toronto. Bridges sat out the entire 2022-23 campaign and the first 10 games of this season due to a domestic violence case that occurred in June of 2022. He was reinstated by the NBA in mid-November, but he has a court date Feb. 20 for allegedly violating a protection order related to the incident.

Impact Bridges sat out the entire 2022-23 campaign and the first 10 games of this season due to a domestic violence case that occurred in June of 2022. He was reinstated by the NBA in mid-November, but he has a court date Feb. 20 for allegedly violating a protection order related to the incident. Bridges has been performing well since making his season debut Nov. 17, averaging 19.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 36.1 minutes over 14 appearances (12 starts), so his potential absence would leave a big hole in Charlotte's rotation Monday, especially given LaMelo Ball (ankle) is still out, Mark Williams (back) is doubtful and P.J. Washington (shoulder) and Gordon Hayward (illness) are questionable.
