Bledsoe scored 13 points (3-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) to go along with five assists, two steals and two rebounds across 35 minutes in Monday's win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe continued to handle the ball more with Lonzo Ball (hip) out for the second consecutive game, which resulted in him tallying both five assists and five turnovers. He wasn't much better with his shot and has combined to go just 8-for-29 from the field across his last three games. Bledsoe did balance those poor aspects of his line a bit with his efficiency from the free-throw line and his two steals -- the first time he's managed multiple steals in his last seven contests.

Bledsoe finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 29 minutes before getting ejected in Wednesday's loss against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was ejected with less than two minutes left in the third quarter after arguing a foul call. He ended the game as the Pelicans' leading scorer, as he extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to eight outings while putting up at least 20 points in a game for the first time since early February.

Bledsoe posted 14 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists and two rebounds across 33 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe finished the game as the Pelicans' second-best scorer despite his subpar performance from the field, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late with seven straight games putting up double-digit scoring figures. That's a step in the right direction considering he averaged just 8.2 points per game across 13 contests last month.

Bledsoe has reached double figures in the scoring column in each of the Pelicans' last six games, averaging 14.5 points while chipping in 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 three-pointers in 36.3 minutes per contest over that stretch.
EDGE Analysis
While Bledsoe's production is on the rise again after he was held to single digits in scoring seven times in an eight-game stretch before his recent outburst, it bears mentioning that he's converted only 38 percent of his field-goal attempts during these recent six contests. Bledsoe has reclaimed fantasy relevance largely due to the lack of healthy bodies available for the Pelicans, with head coach Stan Van Gundy feeding him heavy minutes as a result. Over the six games in question, all of Lonzo Ball (five games), Brandon Ingram (three), Zion Williamson (three), Josh Hart (two), Steven Adams (one) and Kira Lewis (one) have missed time at some point. Ball has since returned to the lineup, but expect Bledsoe's fantasy value to trend back down once Ingram, Williamson, Adams and Lewis are likely back in action in the near future.

Bledsoe totaled 14 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 46 minutes Thursday in the Pelicans' overtime loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't the most efficient of shooting efforts for Bledsoe, but it was one of his best all-around performances this season. He posted five boards and five dimes in the same game for just the fifth time this season, and it was the first time he had multiple blocks and steals in the same contest. He appears to have gotten back on track as he has scored in double figures in four straight after doing so just three times in his previous 10 outings.

Bledsoe delivered 16 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes in Friday's loss against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still finished as New Orleans' second-best scorer behind Zion Williamson, who carried the team offensively with a 39-point outing. Bledsoe also ended just one assist shy of putting up his third double-double of the season. The fact that he has scored in double digits in just two of his previous nine appearances suggests his value isn't entirely high at the moment, although this performance might boost his upside and confidence going forward.

Bledsoe provided two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 128-111 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and the rest of the Pelicans' young players took over Tuesday's easy victory against the shorthanded Lakers. Bledsoe has struggled mightily lately. Over the past eight games, he's averaged 5.5 points on 28.6 percent shooting from the field, 20.8 percent from three and 58.3 percent from the charity stripe. That's in addition to just 3.5 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 26.6 minutes. The Pelicans could be looking to unload the veteran at the trade deadline, but there probably won't be many suitors.

Bledsoe was held scoreless (0-4 FG) in Friday's win against Cleveland, contributing three assists and one rebound in 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old had a night to forget, missing all four of his attempts from the field. Bledsoe has struggled over his past three games, averaging just 3.7 points, 3.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds while shooting a dreadful 15 percent from the field in that span. Bledsoe could cede playing time to Nickeil Alexander-Walker if he keeps underperforming.

Bledsoe contributed 12 points (3-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 assists, five rebounds and two steals in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 128-124 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe played a season-high 42 minutes in the loss, matching his season-best of 10 assists. After seeing his minutes drop to the mid-twenties only two weeks ago, the veteran point guard has turned things around in a big way. He has been a top-50 player over the past week and heads into the All-Star break playing his best basketball of the season. It remains to be seen whether his role is sustainable moving forward but at this point, you simply hang on and wait for the outcome.

Bledsoe collected 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in the Pelican's 129-124 victory over the Jazz on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bledsoe was able to score in double figures for the fourth straight game while also playing his usual solid perimeter defense. In his first year with the Pelicans he has taken more of an off-ball role starting alongside Lonzo Ball, which has affected his assist numbers. On the season, Bledsoe has averaged 12.7 points, 3.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game.
