Bridges finished Friday's 116-107 victory over Milwaukee with 26 points (12-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes.
Bridges was one of several New York players who had to step up their game due to the struggles of Karl-Anthony Towns (14 points, 6-16 FG) and the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). He responded by reaching the 20-point plateau for the sixth time across his streak of 11 straight games with double-digit points. Over that 11-game stretch, Bridges is averaging 21.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 55 percent from the floor and 37.5 percent from three-point range.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Dishes out nine assists Wednesday
Rotowire
Bridges racked up 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 loss to the Clippers.
Bridges has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances, but the veteran forward still posted a solid line in this game due to his passing. The nine assists were a season-high mark in that category for Bridges, who averaged 21.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 0.9 steals per game across his last 10 appearances.
Bridges logged 27 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 122-103 victory over Washington.
Bridges extended his streak of games with double-digit points to eight, and this was the third time he cleared the 25-point mark in that stretch. The veteran forward has been outstanding in recent weeks and has looked solid as one of the go-to options on offense for the Knicks in the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle). Bridges is averaging 21.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game in that eight-game stretch.
Bridges finished Thursday's 115-98 loss to Charlotte with 16 points (5-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, six assists and three steals in 33 minutes.
Bridges scored in double digits for the seventh game in a row and was able to deliver a more efficient effort compared to the one he posted in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs. However, the uptick in numbers wasn't enough to stop the Knicks' ongoing losing skid. He should continue to operate as one of the Knicks' secondary go-to options on offense behind Karl-Anthony Towns as long as Jalen Brunson (ankle) remains sidelined.
Bridges totaled 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 loss to San Antonio.
Bridges can certainly operate as the Knicks' second-best option on offense, but he didn't have his best shooting performance Wednesday, ending with 14 points while attempting 13 field goals. Even though this wasn't Bridges' best performance, fantasy managers can be satisfied with his consistency, as he's recorded double-digit points in six games in a row, averaging 21.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 0.3 steals per game in that span.

Bridges recorded 28 points (10-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal over 32 minutes in Monday's 116-95 win over Miami.
Bridges led the way for new York offensively, pacing all Knicks players in scoring and threes made while finishing two points shy of the 30-point mark in a winning effort.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Plays hero in Portland
Rotowire
Bridges provided 33 points (13-21 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 overtime win over the Trail Blazers.
The 33 points represented his best performance since he erupted for 41 against the Spurs on Christmas Day. It was Bridges' last bucket Wednesday that was the biggest, as he drained a three-pointer from the top of the arc right at the final buzzer to secure the victory. His offensive production has been inconsistent of late, but the culprit has been his usage rather than his efficiency. He's scored 20-plus points only three times in 17 contests since the beginning of February, a stretch in which he's shooting 50.0 percent from the floor but averaging 15.5 points, 4.1 assists, 3.2 boards, 1.2 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Rotowire
Bridges accumulated six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 43 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 overtime loss to the Lakers.
Bridges put up fewer than seven shot attempts for the first time since Jan. 12, finishing with single-digit points for the second time over his last three appearances. While the 28-year-old swingman was fairly quiet on the offensive end, he did rack up the second-highest mark in steals, tying his season high in swipes. Over eight outings since the All-Star break, Bridges has averaged 13.8 points, 4.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds across 35.3 minutes per contest.

Bridges registered 28 points (12-18 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 win over the 76ers.
Bridges got the Knicks off to a flying start Wednesday, scoring 19 points in the first quarter to help the team build an early double-digit lead. He ceded scoring duties to Jalen Brunson in the second half, but Bridges still managed to finish with his highest scoring output since Jan. 27 against the Grizzlies (28). Bridges will look to carry over his momentum into Friday's game against Memphis.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Team-high five assists in rout
Rotowire
Bridges recorded 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 142-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
After hauling in a season-high 10 rebounds in Thursday's overtime win over Chicago, Bridges didn't make nearly as much of an impact on the glass but led the team with five assists Friday. The 28-year-old swingman remains a dependable presence in New York's lineup by not missing a single game and leading the NBA in minutes this season, and he's averaged 16.2 points, 4.1 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 0.9 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 36.1 minutes across his last 11 contests.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Quiet showing in win
Rotowire
Bridges produced six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and five assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 win over Indiana.
Bridges' six points Tuesday matched his second-lowest scoring output of the campaign, but teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart were able to pick up the slack by scoring 40 and 30 points, respectively. Bridges hasn't seen a noticeable bump in usage amid the absence of OG Anunoby (foot), as he's averaged 14.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers in 35.6 minutes across his last six contests. Although Bridges' counting stats have dipped in his first year with the Knicks, the 28-year-old leads the league in minutes and should be able to finish as a top-100 fantasy player in all formats if he can stay healthy.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Expected to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Bridges is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors with left ankle soreness.
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the Knicks also threw probable tags on Josh Hart (knee) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee).

Bridges had a night to forget against his former team. He couldn't find his offensive rhythm. He's been cold from beyond the arc in January, hitting 32.5 percent of his three-pointers. His defensive production has also been lacking, with just 0.5 blocks and 0.3 steals over his last 12 outings.

Bridges contributed 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 41 minutes during Friday's 117-107 loss to the Thunder.
Even though Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have been impressive as the Knicks' one-two scoring punch this season, Bridges has been settling in well as a reliable third option. The veteran forward endured a slow start to the season, but he seems to be peaking in form in recent weeks. Over his last 10 games, Bridges is averaging 22.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and he notched a season-high 41-point display on Christmas Day versus San Antonio in that span.
