Bledsoe contributed 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven assists, six rebounds, and two steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was highly efficient, though he was perhaps limited (in terms of minutes) due to the five fouls he committed. With that being said, coach Mike Budenholzer has clearly prioritized keeping Bledsoe fresh, as he is averaging 28.5 minutes through 14 games, his lowest share of court time since 2012-13. Regardless, Bledsoe is enjoying one of his most well-rounded campaigns of his career.

Bledsoe generated 26 points (10-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes in the Bucks' 134-111 win over the Warriors on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After struggling with his shot in a loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, Bledsoe bounced back with his sharpest performance of the season. The veteran's 83.3 percent success rate was a season-high figure, and it led to a season-best point total as well. Bledsoe was also active on the assists and rebounding fronts, making it a strong night all around. Plagued by some inconsistency that had seen him score in single digits in three of five games prior to Thursday's, Bledsoe and his fantasy owners will hope his effort against the Warriors serves as a launch point for an extended stretch of strong production.

Bledsoe produced just five points (2-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), seven assists and two rebounds across 30 minutes in the Bucks' 118-103 loss to the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran point guard has been alternating poor shooting nights with strong performances over his last seven games, leading to some maddening fluctuations in his production. Bledsoe has generated three single-digit scoring tallies and managed to drain just seven of 29 three-point attempts during that stretch. While his assist totals are generally solid, they're not enough to make up for his scoring downturns when they do occur. He'll look to bounce back from Wednesday's sub-par effort against the Warriors on Thursday.

Bledsoe tallied 13 points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven assists, one rebound and one steal across 33 minutes in the Bucks' 117-113 loss to the Celtics on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe couldn't get much going offensively, and he had a critical miss of a free-throw attempt with 12.8 seconds remaining and the Bucks down by two. He still found his way to a serviceable stat line courtesy of his work as a facilitator, and he's now dished out between six and nine assists over his last three games. However, the nine-year veteran continues to be less productive offensively overall as compared to last season, as he's seen his scoring drop from 15.7 to 13.1 points per game, which is directly tied in to a decline in shot attempts from 13.3 to 10.6 per contest.

Bledsoe totaled 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight assists, two rebounds, and one block in 25 minutes during Monday's 124-109 victory over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe got off to a slow start Monday but turned things around in the third quarter to finish with 17 points and eight assists. He continues to be solid without being too flashy, contributing in a number of areas as he tends to do. This game was over early and his low minutes are certainly not a cause for concern. Giannis Antetokounmpo (concussion) was out for this one and if he is forced to miss more time, Bledsoe could be in line for a short-term boost to his usage numbers.

Bledsoe contributed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 123-108 victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was able to contribute across the board in Wednesday's impressive victory, finishing with 18 points, albeit on 6-of-18 shooting. The Bucks made a statement with an emphatic victory over the highly-fancied 76ers on a night when all the stars came out to play. Bledsoe is one of the more underrated fantasy producers, due in large part to the fact he plays behind Giannis Antetokounmpo. He will likely keep up this sort of pace for the rest of the season, going unnoticed in a lot of leagues.

Bledsoe scored 17 points over 34 minutes in Wednesday's victory over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe played 34 minutes in the Bucks' opener, and he had a good night from the floor, going 7-of-13, including 3-for-5 behind the arc. He averaged 31 minutes per contest over 71 games with the Bucks a year ago, so expect him to top 30 minutes on a regular basis.

Bledsoe will be held out of Tuesday's preseason game against the Thunder for rest purposes, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe is simply getting a breather in a meaningless preseason game and will be joined by the bulk of the Bucks' typical starting lineup as well. Look for Bledsoe to return to the lineup for Friday's preseason finale against the Timberwolves and he should also be a full go for the start of the regular season in just over a week.

Bledsoe delivered 17 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one block across 27 minutes during Milwaukee's 116-92 win over the Celtics in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe bounced back from a pair of sub-40-percent shooting efforts in the first two games of the series to drain an impressive 61.5 percent of his 13 attempts Friday. The veteran point guard has upped his point totals in each game of the series and will look to accomplish the feat again when the Bucks try to even matters up at 2-2 in Sunday's Game 4.

Bledsoe scored 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt) while adding seven rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 120-106 loss to the Celtics in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
After being held to just nine points in the opener, Bledsoe wasn't much better in Game 2. The Bucks will need to find a way to get their point guard going against the Celtics' tough perimeter defense if they hope to climb back into the series with a win Friday in Milwaukee.
