Bledsoe managed 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds, four steals and two blocks across 36 minutes in Friday's 91-85 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was an ideal complement to Giannis Antetokounmpo's team-leading efforts on the night, generating his third straight double-digit scoring effort in the process. The veteran has been sporting a hot hand during that stretch, as he's drained 58.7 percent of his 46 attempts in that trio of contests. Bledsoe has drained multiple threes in each game as well, and his solid supplemental contributions in rebounds and assists are keeping the 28-year-old's stock bullish across all formats.

Bledsoe contributed 23 points (7-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight assists, five rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 103-89 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe has been scalding hot in the last two tilts, combining for 51 points (on 19-of-31 from the field), 14 dimes, nine boards, and two steals in 61 minutes. He is stepping up in a big way following the recent injuries to Malcolm Brogdon (quad) and Matthew Dellavedova (ankle), and Bledsoe will likely continue enjoying boosts in production and usage over the next several weeks.

Bledsoe scored 28 points (12-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while adding six assists, four rebounds and a steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 109-94 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
After scoring just 17 combined points in his prior three games, Bledsoe came through for the Bucks in a big way on an afternoon when Giannis Antetokounmpo checked out early due to a minor ankle sprain. It was Bledsoe's best scoring effort in over a month, and while he's had a little difficulty adjusting to the coaching change in Milwaukee, the guard was too talented to stay quiet for long. Don't be surprised if he goes on a tear now that he's found his shot again.

Bledsoe (ankle) registered seven points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 21 minutes in Friday's 92-90 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran point guard posted his second consecutive single-digit scoring tally in a non-injury-shortened game, as his shooting struggles persisted for a third consecutive contest. Bledsoe has shot just 31.4 percent (11-for-35) over that aforementioned three-game sample, leading to his least productive multi-game stretch of the season. Despite the current struggles, the projected extended absence of backcourt mate Malcolm Brogdon (quadriceps) should result in Bledsoe taking on a larger offensive role overall for the foreseeable future.

Bledsoe (ankle) is available to play in Friday's game against the Knicks, Matt Velazquez of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe had been nursing a sore left ankle that caused him to miss Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, but the point guard is back in action Friday. His return could not have been more timely, as it was just announced earlier that Malcolm Brogdon (quad) will be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, leaving Bledsoe as the clear cut No. 1 option at point guard moving forward. Bledsoe will likely be called upon to play a heavy dose of minutes Friday, with Matthew Dellavedova serving as his primary backup.

Bledsoe (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was given a doubtful designation coming into Thursday after playing just three minutes in the Bucks last contest due to an ankle injury, so this latest update doesn't come as much of a surprise. With the Bucks currently heading into a back-to-back set, there's certainly a chance he's ultimately held out of Friday's game too, though tentatively consider him questionable for now. With Bledsoe sidelined, both Matthew Dellavedova and Malcolm Brogdon should benefit with more run in the backcourt.

Bledsoe (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Thursday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe played just three minutes during Monday's matchup with the 76ers, as he was dealing with what's being listed as a sore left ankle. He was also limited during Wednesday's practice, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that he's not expected to take the court against the Timberwolves. Barring a surprise recovery, look for Bledsoe to sit out Thursday, which would make his next shot to take the court on Friday against the Knicks. Bledsoe's absence should create more opportunities for guys like Matthew Dellavedova and Malcolm Brogdon.

Bledsoe (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe started Monday's win over the 76ers, but he departed early in the game and curiously sat out the remainder of the contest. It was revealed afterward that he's battling a minor ankle issue, though interim coach Joe Prunty did note that Bledsoe could have returned to the game had it been necessary. The point guard was able to go through parts of Wednesday's practice, and at this point he should be considered questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Timberwolves.

Bledsoe left Monday's game against the 76ers with a sore left ankle and did not return, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe started Monday's game, however left after playing just three minutes and wasn't able to return. The Bucks next game is Thursday against the Timberwolves, and Bledsoe should be considered questionable for that game at this time. More information should come out in the coming days.

Bledsoe amassed 14 points (5-16 FG, 3-7 3PT) and four assists in a 116-91 win over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe has seen a small dip in numbers since joining Milwaukee, as he's only reached double-digits in rebounding or assists once all season. The assisting numbers are especially discouraging, as hasn't handed out more than seven assists in 17-straight games while averaging under four assists a game in that span. That's a strange number from a guy who averaged over six assists per game in his last three years with the Suns, as it's clear he's not handling the ball as much with Giannis Antetokounmpo dominating the team's usage.
