Mikal Bridges Gets First NBA Start
6 years agoPhoenix Suns small forward Mikal Bridges will make his first career start on Wednesday night against the Spurs. The 6-foot-7 rookie replaces veteran Trevor Ariza (personal) in the starting lineup. Bridges has been up and down this season and his minutes have fluctuated as well. He is coming off one of his better games against the Thunder on Wednesday, filling all major statistical categories for the first time ever. The 22-year-old is a younger version of Ariza in terms of a "3D" mold, so fantasy owners should expect mainly three-pointers and steals from him with an occasional double-figure scoring effort. However, before jumping all in, owners should take a little time to monitor his progress.
