Bledsoe scored 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while adding three steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
He struggled badly on the defensive end, finishing with a minus-24 plus/minus rating that was just one point better than the rest of the Suns' starting lineup put together. Bledsoe did at least keep his streak of games with multiple steals alive at eight, but otherwise it was an uncharacteristically poor performance. He'll get a chance to bounce back Monday night in Utah.

Bledsoe managed a game-high 29 points (12-17 FG, 1-3 3PT, 4-5 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and a pair of steals over 35 minutes in Friday's 104-88 victory over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran guard was outstanding from the field, and also encountered a high degree of success setting up his teammates for scoring opportunities as well in what was an outstanding all-around effort. The nine dimes equaled a high-water mark in that category in December for Bledsoe, and the 29 points represented his second-highest scoring total during the month. It was a stellar bounce-back effort for the six-year pro, who had managed a season-low six points in a blowout loss to the Warriors last Wednesday.

Bledsoe was held to a season-low six points (3-12 FG) to go with eight assists, five rebounds, two steals, and five turnovers across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 128-103 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe and Brandon Knight have been one of the league's most dynamic backcourt tandems this season, but they were absolutely no match for the Splash Brothers (Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson), who combined to pour in 68 points on 25-for-36 shooting. While Knight at least held up to his end of the bargain with 17 points, Bledsoe's inability to make shots from the floor or get to the free-throw line ended up being his undoing. It was the first time he had been held to single-digit scoring all season.

Bledsoe posted 23 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven assists, five rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in 37 minutes in Monday's 104-94 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe has been consistent this season at putting up numbers across the board, so it's no surprise that he was able to have this performance on Monday. He's able to get blocks (which is rare for a guard), and is also shooting above 45 percent from the field for the season. Continue to expect him to produce consistently while he's healthy.

Bledsoe contributed 23 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, four steals, and four blocks in 36 minutes during the Suns' 108-101 win versus the Timberwolves on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Despite giving the ball away six times, Bledsoe delivered one of his best performances of the season on Sunday while helping lead his team to a much-needed win against the Timberwolves. He and Brandon Knight continue to impress in fantasy while carrying the load for the Suns' offense. Meanwhile, Bledsoe is posting a career-high 2.0 steals per game this season.

Bledsoe tallied 31 points (12-26 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five assists, four rebounds, a pair of steals and a block over 35 minutes in Friday's 106-96 loss to the Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The six-year pro put up a mammoth 26 shot attempts on the night--and uncorked a season-high 10 shots from beyond the arc--in a terrific one-on-one battle versus C.J. McCollum. Bledsoe was also likely picking up some of the slack for backcourt mate Brandon Knight, who inexplicably managed one point on 0-for-12 shooting over 33 minutes. The four three-pointers also equaled a season-high in that category for Bledsoe, who has become the unquestioned leader of a Suns team that has seen Markieff Morris descend into mediocrity (and the bench), and that is still enduring some of Knight's inconsistencies on the offensive side of the ball.

Bledsoe provided 23 points (8-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 40 minutes during Sunday's 95-93 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe raised his scoring output for the fourth game in a row, but missed a 22-footer with less than a second left to keep the Suns out of the win column. The 25-year-old is in the midst of his best season over six years in the NBA, as his averages of 22.2 points, 6.5 assists, and 1.9 steals are all career-best marks.

Bledsoe scored 22 points (9-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT) while adding seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Since missing one game with a minor knee issue, Bledsoe has averaged 19.8 points, 8.0 assists, 3.0 boards, 1.8 steals and 1.7 threes over his last six starts. He's already on pace for a career high in assists, but his recent burst of distribution indicates that Bledsoe might have another level of production in him as he adapts to being the primary ball-handler in the Suns' offense.
