Bledsoe finished with 14 points (6-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 boards, six assists, and one block, in 40 minutes of a 118-115 overtime win to Miami on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe turned in his best game of the series with his team's back against the wall in Game Four, notching a double-double as his team fought off elimination and extended the series. The stellar all-around game wasn't without its flaws, as Bledsoe was miserable from deep in a game where his team needed him to make a shot. He'll look to improve his shooting in Tuesday's Game 5.

Bledsoe (hamstring) is expected to be a game-time decision for Wednesday's Game 2 against Miami, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks are playing things close to the vest with Bledsoe, who did not play in Game 1 due to a strained right hamstring. Coach Mike Budenholzer had little to say about the point guard, noting only that he'll "know closer to tip-off" whether the Bucks' medical staff will clear Bledsoe to play. George Hill entered the starting lineup in Bledsoe's place on Monday.

Bledsoe (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier Tuesday, coach Mike Budenholzer confirmed that Bledsoe was able to go through practice, but it was only a light session that did not include much full-contact work. Bledsoe appears to be trending in the right direction, but he could ultimately end up as a game-time decision, as was the case entering Monday's Game 1.

Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer was non-committal regarding Bledsoe's (hamstring) status for Wednesday's Game 2 against Miami, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Budenholzer did confirm that Bledsoe was able to participate in practice Tuesday, but he noted that it was a light session that only included roughly 15 minutes of "real basketball work." A decision on Bledsoe's status likely won't come until the team can re-evaluate him at shootaround Wednesday morning. Without Bledsoe in Game 1, Milwaukee inserted George Hill into the starting lineup and he saw 36 minutes of action.

Bledsoe (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's Game 1 against Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe came into the contest very much questionable with a strained right hamstring, and he's now being listed among the Bucks' inactive players, according to Ted Davis of the Milwaukee Bucks Radio Network. George Hill will get the start in Bledsoe's place, with Donte DiVincenzo potentially in line for increased minutes off the bench.

Bledsoe (hamstring) will be a game-time call for Monday's Game 1 against Miami, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe is still nursing the strained right hamstring that ailed him after the Bucks closed out Orlando on Saturday. Coach Mike Budenholzer didn't have much to say about the situation pregame, but he noted that Bledsoe will be re-evaluated closer to the 6:30 p.m. ET tip off. In the event Bledsoe is held out, George Hill would likely serve as the Bucks' primary point guard.

Bledsoe is considered questionable for Monday's Game 1 against Miami due to a strained right hamstring.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe picked up the injury during Saturday's series-clinching Game 5 win over the Magic, and his status is now in at least some degree of jeopardy as Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals approaches. Should Bledsoe be held out or limited, George Hill will be in position to benefit.

Bledsoe had just six points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six boards and five assists in Monday's Game 4 win over Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
After solid showings in Games 2 and 3, Bledsoe struggled Monday afternoon, finishing minus-16 in 24 minutes -- by far the worst differential on the team. Through four playoff games, he's gone just 3-for-13 from beyond the arc.

Bledsoe has been a steady presence in the Round 1 series, having scored at least 13 points and dished at least five assists in each of the first three games. He's also totaled five steals and two blocks.
