Bledsoe went for eight points (2-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and two steals across 26 minutes in Friday's 112-101 preseason loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran saw a solid workload for the second consecutive exhibition and the knee soreness that plagued him near the end of his playing time last season appears to be a non-factor at present. Bledsoe has offered modest production through the first pair of preseason games, but given his established track record, there's no reason to question the numbers. The 27-year-old should be in line for heavy minutes at the point once again in the coming campaign, although head coach Earl Watson now knows he has a capable backup in Tyler Ulis to call upon when necessary.

The Suns indicated that Bledsoe has been playing through left knee soreness lately and will be shut down for the rest of the season in order to recover, Doug Haller of The Arizona Republic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though the historically brittle Bledsoe has enjoyed relatively strong health this season, he popped up on the Suns' injury report last week with the left knee issue. With the Suns out of playoff contention, it appears coach Earl Watson isn't inclined to let the point guard play through the injury any longer. Bledsoe is probably still worth holding in mid-sized or shallower formats for a little bit longer in the event the organization reverses the decision, but Bledsoe's expected absence over the Suns' final 14 games will pave the way for Tyler Ulis to serve as the team's starting point guard. Ulis put up 13 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 13 assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 107-101 loss to the Kings and should make for a solid pickup across most formats while he remains in line for hefty minutes the rest of the way.

Updating a previous report, Bledsoe will not play Wednesday in order to rest, Craig Grialou of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe participated in warmups, but is not expected to play. The Suns announced at the last minute that rookie Tyler Ulis would be starting at point guard, which led many to believe that he was starting over Bledsoe. However, it appears the Suns just oped to rest their starting point guard minutes before tip-off.

Bledsoe will play a reserve role for Wednesday's game against the Kings, CRaig Grialou of ArizonaSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe has played in every game but one this season, and started all of them. He will come off the bench in favor of rookie Tyler Ulis on Wednesday though. Bledsoe has not been playing as well as he was during a hot stretch he had in late January and earlier February, but he has not been bad. Thus, this move is pretty surprising. The Suns are likely giving Ulis, who has played very well recently, an opportunity to show what he can do running the point as a starter. It is unclear if the plan is for Bledsoe to continue coming off the bench going forward, but his production figures to take a hit if he does. The situation will need to be monitored going forward, or until the Suns provide more clarity on the issue.

Bledsoe tallied 12 points (4-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block over 31 minutes in Saturday's 100-98 win over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe's shooting struggles continued Saturday, and he's now a combined 8-for-28 over the last two games, including 1-of-8 from behind the arc. The veteran may still be struggling with a hyperextended left knee, as his point totals over the last two games represent his lowest over the last seven contests.

Bledsoe (knee) managed 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block over 32 minutes in Thursday's 122-110 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran guard was fighting a hyperextended knee but managed to turn in a serviceable outing for fantasy purposes by contributing across the stat sheet. Bledsoe's injury may have contributed to his game-high seven turnovers, however, and Thursday's contest marked his worst scoring total in six games. The 27-year-old's condition will be monitored closely heading into Saturday's game against the Mavericks, although the fact he was able to play 32 minutes Thursday would appear to bode well for his potential availability.

Bledsoe (knee) will be available for Thursday's tilt against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

After being listed as questionable with a hyperextended left knee, Bledsoe has been given the green light to take the floor Thursday against the Lakers. With Tyler Ulis (ankle) also available, the Suns will have their usual backcourt crew ready for action, and they should see typical workloads. That being said, Bledsoe is only averaging 29.0 minutes per game over his last four contests, with coach Earl Watson favoring his younger players as of late.

Bledsoe is questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Lakers due to a hyperextended left knee.

EDGE Analysis

Though the exact severity of the injury isn't known, with the Suns completely out of the playoff race, coach Earl Watson may opt to sit Bledsoe to not risk further injury. Bledsoe's status should be monitored as tipoff grows closer, but if he's unable to give it a go, Tyler Ulis would likely draw the start and could be in for a 30-plus minute workload.

Bledsoe scored 30 points (9-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT) to go along with five assists and three rebounds across just 27 minutes during Tuesday's 131-127 loss to the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Bledsoe enjoyed a terrific night shooting the ball in all phases, but his minutes were limited as he struggled with turnovers and on defense, containing what could have been an even bigger night. The dynamic guard endured a slump by his standards toward the end of February, but he seems to have snapped out of it with averages of 29 points, seven assists and three treys per game over his last two.

Bledsoe collected 28 points (9-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine assists, and six rebounds across 35 minutes during Sunday's 109-106 victory over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

After playing only 25 and 29 minutes respectively in the Suns' last two outings, Bledsoe saw 35 minutes of action Sunday and responded by nearly dropping a triple-double on the playoff-bound Celtics. He remains one of the better fantasy options at either of the guard slots due to his skill on both sides of the ball, averaging 21.1 points, 6.4 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals across 33.1 minutes per game this season. While his fluctuating minutes could be a concern for DFS players, year-long fantasy owners shouldn't have too much to worry about, as his long-run production outweighs the occasional 25-minute night.
