Bledsoe contributed 18 points (7-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine assists, eight rebounds and three steals across 27 minutes Friday against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe, who was questionable coming into Friday's game, made up for shooting an inefficient 33-percent from the field with strong statistical contributions in assists, rebounds and steals. The veteran guard took on a larger playmaking role with Giannis Antetokounmpo (hip) out, recording his third-most assists and taking his most shots of the year. When Antetokounmpo returns to the lineup, expect Bledsoe to return to his usual role of a secondary playmaker.

Bledsoe (hamstring) will play in Friday's game against the Wizards, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was a surprise addition to the Bucks' injury report Friday morning with a sore left hamstring, but it isn't severe enough to keep him off the court. Bledsoe will now have played and started in all 41 games so far this season after being a full go Friday night.

Bledsoe is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards due to left hamstring soreness, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear exactly where the injury stems from, as Bledsoe has been healthy all season and started every game, but it appears the Bucks may be taking a cautious approach Friday night with Giannis Antetokounmpo (hip/quad) listed as doubtful. Bledsoe's status will likely be confirmed once tip-off draws closer, but if he is unable to play, Malcolm Brogdon would likely take over as the team's primary ball handler with George Hill seeing additional minutes off the bench.

Bledsoe finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes Tuesday in the Bucks' 121-98 triumph over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe's outing should at least temporarily restore some confidence for his fantasy managers, who may have been frustrated by the point guard averaging only 11.2 points, 4.5 boards and 3.8 assists across his previous six contests. Though the presences of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez won't afford Bledsoe the opportunity to carry the load much offensively, he's at least made up for a slight downturn in his scoring with an uptick in field-goal percentage. His 49.6 percent mark from the field this season is 43 points above his career average.

Bledsoe produced 17 points (7-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine assists, three rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes in Monday's 107-104 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe posted his best assist total in the last 10 contests Monday night, as he efficiently passed the ball around to avoid taking contested shots. His ability to limit turnovers as a point guard also boasts well for his future output and he should see regular run going forward.

Bledsoe posted 26 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 113-97 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was the only source of offense in this game for the Bucks, as he missed just two shots inside arc all night. His strong effort will need better support if the Bucks hope to get a win next time out against the Cavs.

Bledsoe tallied 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four assists and four steals across 29 minutes in Friday's 105-95 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe's five turnovers restricted his evening somewhat, but he aptly directed the offense and stayed competitive against the Warriors for the majority of the evening. After a sub-par game against Chicago, he's rattled off three respectable games with an average of 22.7 points and 5.0 assists over that span.

Bledsoe finished with a season-high 27 points (11-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added seven assists, five rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes Saturday in the Bucks' 136-134 overtime loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from a seven-point stinker against the Bulls on Wednesday, Bledsoe has been rolling for the better part of three weeks, averaging 17.9 points (on 57.3 percent shooting from the field), 5.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 treys and 1.8 steals in 31.3 minutes per game over his last 12 contests. Though a 70.8 percent mark from the free-throw line has hurt Bledsoe's bottom line thus far, the point guard has otherwise performed about as well as fantasy managers could have anticipated when they invested in him on draft day.

Bledsoe tallied 23 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists, and three steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 104-98 victory over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe continues to produce some tasty numbers, dropping 23 points here, to go with another three steals. After a slow start to the season, Bledsoe has now recorded a combined 13 steals across his last five games, chipping in with decent scoring and assist numbers. You may have been able to buy-low on Bledsoe a couple of weeks ago but that window has now firmly slammed shut.

Bledsoe put up 25 points (10-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 30 minutes in Friday's 123-104 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
After a slow start to the campaign, Bledsoe is beginning to pay dividends for those that invested an early-to-mid round pick in the point guard on draft day. A downturn in field-goal percentage and steals were the main culprits behind Bledsoe's underwhelming production through the first 10 games, but he's stepped up the pace in both categories over the last five contests. During that span, Bledsoe is shooting 58.1 percent from the field and is averaging 2.2 steals to go with 18.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.8 treys per game.
