Miles Bridges's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Bridges has been dealing with a nagging right knee issue and he appears to be in too much to pain to play on Thursday. His absence should result in more playing time for Tidjane Salaun and Cody Martin in the rotation. Between the two, Martin is the better streaming option for Thursday's slate. Martin has recorded four steals and four blocks over the last two games, so his defensive ability makes him a more appealing option for this contest.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 26-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 14.6 points and shooting a career-low 26.7% from behind the arc. With that said, there's a good chance he won't return from his three-game absence on Saturday, although the questionable tag at least suggests he's moving in the right direction. In the meantime, Grant Williams, averaging 10.0 points, 3.5 boards, and 44.4% shooting from downtown, is worth starting in deeper fantasy formats. However, Bridges' absence should mean the most to LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller, who are both in line to see a significant bump in scoring chances.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has suffered a bone bruise to his right knee and will be out for at least two weeks. According to Michael Scotto, the 26-year-old will be re-evaluated at the two-week mark to see if he'll need to miss any more time after that. In his last game on Wednesday, Bridges played 35 minutes and posted 27 points, seven rebounds, and two assists. Either Cody Martin or Grant Williams will likely take over that starting spot but both of them are riskier streaming options right now.

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Bridges suffered a hypertension of his right knee during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game. He was able to return to the contest, but the Hornets are going to take the cautious approach here. It sounds like Bridges is considered day-to-day, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. Cody Martin is likely to move into the starting five, which should give him increased value for at least one game.

According to Rod Boone of The Charlotte Observer, impending free agent Miles Bridges isn't expected to give the Charlotte Hornets a "hometown" discount. While Bridges has stated he wants to remain in Charlotte, Boone indicated the veteran would sign with the team "who offers the most money," with the Pistons one of the likeliest suitors because of cap space. He didn't play in 2022-23. However, the 26-year-old returned for the 2023-24 campaign and averaged career-highs in points (21.0) and rebounds (7.3). Nonetheless, wherever Bridges lands this offseason, he should remain a top fantasy producer.
