Eric Bledsoe (knee) will not play against the Grizzlies on Thursday. The news came after the 9:00 EST tip on Thursday night. The decision to hold out Bledsoe was made just before tip. Bledsoe's knee sprain occurred in Los Angeles and this is the first we've heard of this report. The good news is his injury does not appear to be serious, making him questionable to play against the Bucks on Saturday. Gerald Green will start and should be picked up in most leagues until Bledsoe is healthy. It's worth noting he missed 10 days due to a bruised shin earlier this season.

Eric Bledsoe left Monday's blowout win early after logging 31 minutes, as he could be seen wincing with some sort of right knee/leg injury. The fact that there has been no reporting on this underscores that this is likely a minor injury, but we'll put him on the injury report until we get an 'all clear' from the locals. Absent any other reporting he should remain in all lineups.

Eric Bledsoe had 25 points, four rebounds, six assists, a steal and three 3-pointers on 9-of-12 shooting in Saturday's win. Bledsoe had cooled off, scoring just 10 and 15 points in his previous two games, but was back in form tonight. The slump should be over and Bledsoe remains a must-start player as long as he's healthy.

Eric Bledsoe was outstanding in Friday's win over the Kings with 28 points, five boards, eight assists, three steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers on 11-of-16 shooting. He's a beast. Bledsoe is blowing by perimeter defenses in his first year with the Suns and is making a pristine 65.2 percent of his shots from within eight feet. He doesn't have much of a jumper, but who cares with that kind of efficiency in short range? Bledsoe is shooting 48 percent on the season to go with impressive averages of 19 points, 6.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 triples on the year. There probably aren't 20 better players to own when he's clicking like he is right now.

Eric Bledsoe hit 7-of-19 shots and a 3-pointer for 18 points, four rebounds, nine assists and three steals in Tuesday's win over the Lakers. Bledsoe wasn't nearly as efficient as teammate Goran Dragic, who had 31 points and five assists on 18 shots, but still put up a nice line. While he hasn't been the dynamo he was before his shin injury, when Dragic was injured for a time, he is playing well again, averaging 18 points, 2.7 rebounds, 7.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.0 3-pointers over his last three games, so make sure he's back in your lineup.

Eric Bledsoe hit 7-of-14 shots and three 3-pointers on his way to 20 points, three rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in Wednesday's win over the Rockets. This was his best game since Nov. 13, just before he suffered a shin injury, and it looks like he's finally about ready to get back on track. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback, Bledsoe is back in must-start territory.

Eric Bledsoe played 32 minutes in his first start since suffering a shin injury last month, scoring nine points with three boards, five assists and one turnover during Tuesday's loss at Memphis. The Grizzlies have been a tough matchup for guards for a while now and this line is basically the opposite of what he was putting up before going down to injury. In his previous nine starts, Bledsoe averaged 20.4 points, 4.6 boards, 6.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.1 triples on 50.0 percent shooting.There's no reason to think he can't get back to that type of production, so maybe his owner would trade him at a slight discount.

Eric Bledsoe is expected to start alongside Goran Dragic on Tuesday, after coming off the bench in the Suns' previous two games. Gerald Green will likely slide to the bench to make way for Bledsoe, who missed six games with a bruised shin but no longer has any limitations. Green's numbers are lower across the board in five games as a reserve this season, so his probable bench role on Tuesday is bad news for his fantasy owners.

Eric Bledsoe played again on Saturday night after returning from a shin injury on Friday, and had 13 points, two rebounds, two assists and a 3-pointer on 4-of-9 shooting off the bench. The big news is that he actually started the second half over Gerald Green and should continue to do so going forward, assuming his shin is OK. Bledsoe's shin injury was a much bigger deal than anyone thought it would be, but the good news is that he's back and ready to roll for three games this week.

Eric Bledsoe will likely come off the bench again during Saturday's game against the Jazz. It worked yesterday against the Jazz, so why not do it again? Bledsoe was up to his usual tricks of putting up a great line in 28 minutes, scoring 19 points with six boards, two assists, three steals and one 3-pointer on 7-of-11 shooting. He's a must-start play in the shallowest of formats. Gerald Green has been very good and will still see some time at small forward, so he's worth owning in most leagues unless it's to pick up a hot free agent.
