Miles Bridges Questionable For Saturday Afternoon
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.

Miles Bridges Cleared To Suit Up On Thursday
Miles Bridges (illness) will play on Thursday versus the New York Knicks. He wasn't available for Tuesday's loss to the Hawks, allowing DaQuan Jeffries to slide into the starting lineup. He played well, amassing a team-high 19 points (tied) with five boards and two blocks. While Jeffries could see some work on Thursday night, he'll have a difficult time staying as productive with Bridges and LaMelo Ball (wrist) in the equation.

Miles Bridges Expected To Play On Thursday Night
Miles Bridges (illness) is listed as probable heading into Thursday's encounter with the Knicks. He didn't suit up for Tuesday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. DaQuan Jeffries entered the starting lineup, amassing a team-high (tied) 19 points with five boards and two blocks. But with Bridges and LaMelo Ball (wrist) expected to get back on the floor, Jeffries will be tough to trust in any fantasy setup.

Miles Bridges Resting Against Hawks
Miles Bridges (rest) will not be in action on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks. He will sit out the game for rest purposes. It's a busy week for the Hornets, who begin a stretch of four games in six days Tuesday night. Nick Smith Jr. may return to the first unit against Atlanta, while Wendell Moore Jr. and Marcus Garrett (back) are also options to start in place of Bridges. Additionally, LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Mark Williams are expected to get more offensive touches.

Miles Bridges Available Against Warriors
Miles Bridges (illness) will play in Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. The team has upgraded his status from probable to available. Bridges has been fighting an illness that may impact his performance on Monday, but he remains an appealing fantasy option. After a highly productive February, Bridges started March with an 18-7-7 line in Saturday's 113-100 loss to the Washington Wizards.
