Miles Bridges records 1st career double-double, Hornets take down Timberwolves
Charlotte Hornets rookie small forward Miles Bridges scored 11 points (5-of-8 field goals) with 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 1 3-pointer in 30.5 minutes of a 113-106 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.
Bridges picked up the first double-double of his NBA career and he's now recorded 10-plus rebounds in two consecutive games. The 12th overall pick hadn't reached double-digit boards over his first 67 contests. Charlotte plays a back-to-back on Saturday-Sunday and Bridges' minutes have been trending up, so he should stay busy this weekend.
Bridges scored a season-high 37.4 FanDuel points in the win. He's averaging 33.2 FanDuel points over the past two games, compared to 15.6 FanDuel points per game for the season.
