Sitting out Wednesday Bridges (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Bridges played through a questionable tag Tuesday against the Grizzlies due to left hip soreness, finishing with 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes. He'll be held out for maintenance Wednesday, however, meaning Tidjane Salaun could step into a larger role for the Hornets.

Paces Charlotte in lackluster night Bridges supplied 14 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 124-100 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Bridges finished as the Hornets' leading scorer Tuesday, though he struggled from the field once again. Over his last three outings, the 27-year-old forward has averaged 14.7 points and 4.0 rebounds while shooting an abysmal 30.4 percent from the field. Bridges is expected to continue serving as the top option for the non-contending Hornets, who have three regular-season games remaining.

Good to go Tuesday Bridges (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Bridges was a late addition to the injury report due to left hip soreness, though he'll shake off the questionable tag and suit up against Memphis. The 27-year-old forward has averaged 16.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting only 38.3 percent from the field across 28.4 minutes per contest.

Questionable for Tuesday Bridges is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies with left hip soreness.
Impact Bridges was a very late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his status. Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Hornets could be contemplating a maintenance day for one of the games. If Bridges sits out, Tidjane Salaun could step into an expanded role for Charlotte.

Struggles with shot Friday Bridges totaled 22 points (7-21 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Friday's 125-102 loss to Sacramento.
Impact The final stat line was decent at first glance, although Bridges barely contributed in other areas outside of scoring, and that's something he often does on a regular basis. The star forward, who's likely to operate as the Hornets' go-to player on offense in the final games of the regular season, has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four outings, but the lack of efficiency is beginning to look worrisome. Bridges is shooting a mere 38.8 percent from the floor and 23.6 percent from three-point range over his last 10 appearances while averaging 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in that stretch.

Puts up 18 points Wednesday Bridges ended with 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Bridges was efficient from the floor and also contributed in other categories despite logging a mere 24 minutes, the second time over the Hornets' last three games in which he doesn't reach the 25-minute mark. Don't be surprised if the Hornets reduce Bridges' minutes in the final days of the regular season with the team already out of playoff contention, and that would limit his fantasy upside considerably.

Available vs. Indiana Bridges (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Bridges was a true game-time decision due to an illness, but the star forward will be available and should have a prominent role on offense for Charlotte. He's averaging 22.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Questionable for Wednesday Bridges (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Bridges was a late addition to the injury report which is usually a troubling sign for fantasy managers. He was excellent during Monday's 110-106 win over the Jazz, posting 26 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes. If he can't go, the Hornets could turn to Tidjane Salaun and Josh Okogie.

Sniffs triple-double in win Bridges had 26 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-106 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Bridges stuffed the stat sheet Monday, recording his 14th game with a double-double or better on the season. The 27-year-old posted game-high marks in points and assists in the win, and he was extremely efficient following a three-game span in which he had shot only 29.1 percent from the field. Bridges also sank at least three triples for the 23rd time in 60 regular-season appearances. In his last five games entering Monday's contest, Bridges had shot only 17.5 percent from beyond the arc, averaging 8.0 attempts per game.
