Miles

Bridges

Bridges and Williams will be unavailable for Charlotte’s season finale, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Tidjane Salaun and Jusuf Nurkic are the likely starters, with Moussa Diabate (illness, questionable) also factoring into the center rotation if he’s allowed to play. Bridges performed to expectation this season, providing sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While Williams exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (102), injuries limited him to 44 appearances. The young center possesses a high fantasy ceiling, but the injury history makes him challenging to trust in competitive leagues.

Bridges will miss another game with a left hip injury. Tidjane Salaun replaced him in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s loss to the Raptors and should retain that role. The rookie hasn’t offered much fantasy value this season, but he should not lack playing time in Charlotte’s final two games.

Bridges and Williams will get a day off after suiting up against Memphis on Tuesday. Tidjane Salaun and Jusuf Nurkic could benefit from their absences against Toronto.

Bridges was questionable with a hip injury but ultimately played Tuesday against the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old small forward struggled with 14 points on 13 shots in 30 minutes as the Hornets lost by 24. Charlotte has another game Wednesday against the Raptors, and it’s worth wondering if Bridges will be available on the second night of the back-to-back.

Bridges is available after being a late addition to the injury report with a hip injury. The Hornets also have a matchup with the Raptors on Wednesday so it’ll be interesting to see if Bridges is ultimately available for both legs of the back-to-back.

Bridges is a late addition to the injury report, and he may be held out Tuesday for precautionary reasons for the first leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back set. If he’s sidelined, Tidjane Salaun and Wendell Moore Jr. will likely see a bump in playing time.

At this stage in the season, Bridges is Charlotte’s only healthy fantasy-relevant player. While he did score a team-high 22 points against the Kings, the Hornets forward had a rough night shooting the basketball. Bridges was 2-of-11 from beyond the arc, which did a number on his overall field-goal percentage. Over the past two weeks, Miles has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats and is ranked outside the top 150 in nine-cat. Charlotte ends Week 22 with a home game against the Bulls on Sunday.

Bridges played just 24 minutes in the Hornets’ 14-point loss. The 27-year-old small forward is the primary offensive option for Charlotte with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller sidelined. Bridges was efficient with 18 points on 10 shots including two made three-pointers. He’s scored at least 20 points in just three of his last nine games, but should have a higher scoring ceiling as the No. 1 option for the Hornets.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game, Bridges is officially available. He’ll take his usual place within the starting lineup, and Bridges’ availability also means Tidjane Salaun will miss out on an increase in his playing time.

Bridges and Gibson are both dealing with an illness ahead of Wednesday’s matchup. Tidjane Salaun should get some extra burn if Bridges misses this game, while Gibson’s status won’t impact Charlotte’s rotation.
