Impact The scoring eruption tied his career high, set Feb. 15 last season against the Heat, and the OT period ended up being a duel between Bridges and Trae Young -- the Nets' star accounted for 11 of his team's 14 points, but Young rained in 14 of Atlanta's 16. The double-double was Bridges' second of the season, and he's scored at least 20 points in nine of 14 contests to begin the campaign, averaging career highs with 22.1 points, 6.1 boards and 3.8 assists per game.

Leads starters offensively in loss Bridges provided 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 121-99 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Bridges once again lifted the Brooklyn starting unit in a blowout loss, leading all Nets starters in scoring and shots made while coming up two points shy of reaching the 20-point mark. Bridges has recorded 18 or more points in 11 of his first 13 appearances this season, also adding three or more assists in 11 contests.

Puts up 23 points and seven boards Bridges registered 23 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 35 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 loss to the Heat.

Impact Bridges pushed his streak of games with at least 20 points to three, and he has achieved that feat in all but four outings, leaving no doubts regarding his premier role in Brooklyn's offensive scheme. Bridges is averaging 20.4 points per game in nine November contests, and his scoring prowess alone is enough reason to make him valuable across all fantasy formats.

Goes for 27 points Sunday Bridges provided 27 points (11-29 FG, 2-14 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 win over Washington.

Impact Bridges needed 29 shots to score his team-high 27 points, but fantasy managers won't be upset by the volume if he keeps scoring at this rate, especially if he also adds solid numbers in other categories. Bridges was eclipsed by Cam Thomas' (ankle) excellent start to the campaign, but he should operate as Brooklyn's go-to guy on offense on a regular basis. To note, Bridges has scored at least 20 points in six of his first 10 games of the campaign.

Struggles from field Friday Bridges delivered 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 28 minutes in Friday's 121-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Bridges might have co-led all starters in scoring alongside Spencer Dinwiddie, but that doesn't hide the fact that he needed 11 shots to score 12 points while struggling with his three-point shot. Bridges is still one of the Nets' main offensive threats and should be rated as such going forward, but he has failed to reach the 15-point mark in his last two outings following a promising start to the season. He will look to bounce back when the Nets take on the Wizards on Sunday.

Impact Bridges did a little bit of everything in Wednesday's road win over the Clippers, finishing as one of six Nets players with a double-digit scoring total while ending two boards and three assists shy of a triple-double. Bridges posted his lowest scoring mark of the season, but set season-high totals in rebounds, assists and blocks in a win.

Pours in 31 points Bridges registered 31 points (12-21 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 129-125 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Bridges set a new season high with 31 points, and he did it with remarkable efficiency. He hasn't been as dominant in fantasy basketball as he was late in the 2022-23 season, as he's losing some usage to both Cam Thomas and Ben Simmons. However, Bridges has still been a third-round value in nine-category leagues so far.

Impact Bridges posted his least efficient shooting night of the season, although it came against a stout Boston defense. The 27-year-old is entering is his first full season of being an offensive focal point, so patience is advised. In his 27 game sample with Brooklyn last season, Bridges earned 6.6 free throws per game, but he's averaging just 3.8 through six games thus far.
