Pratt’s Play of the Day (October 27)
Miles Bridges
Heading into a contract year, many were eager to see if Bridges would finally live up to his potential. Four games in, fans have to love what they’ve seen from the MSU product. Bridges has led the Hornets in scoring with 25.0 points per game, also racking up a career-high 8.5 rebounds. The versatile forward has finished with 45+ DKFP in three-straight contests, including an impressive 25 & 10 performance on Monday vs. Boston. With Terry Rozier (ankle) likely out for Charlotte’s matchup against Orlando, Bridges should continue to handle a bulk of the offensive workload.
