2. Miles Bridges will finish with season-high in points
What if I told you before the season began that 11 games in that Josh Langford, Cassius Winston and Nick Ward’s season-highs would be more than Miles Bridges’, in terms of points? You’d probably call me crazy, right?
Well, that’s the case as Winston, Ward and Langford have all surpassed Bridges’ season-high of 21 points and that may not irk Miles as much as it would other superstar players, but he’s on a mission to get back to his normal self.
Sure, this season he hasn’t been known as an elite scorer because he doesn’t need to be. He has four or five other guys around him who can fill it up from all over the court and it’s not like the 2016-17 season where the team needed him to score 20-plus each time out to have a chance. No, this year’s team is much different and more balanced.
However, Bridges will finish with his season-high in points after finishing with his second-lowest total against Oakland while shooting just 30 percent from the floor, 20 percent from long-range and receiving a technical foul. Expect a huge game from Bridges, resulting in 25 points.
