Miles Bridges has outplayed his rank for four straight games, and Jalen Green is going the other way

The number a fantasy manager should take from Phoenix's 117-104 win over Orlando on Thursday is not Devin Booker's 30 points, good as they were. It is the 52 ESPN fantasy points from Miles Bridges, who finished third on his own team in scoring with 18, added a season-high 13 rebounds according to the Associated Press recap on ESPN, and filled in five assists and two steals against one turnover in 31 minutes. Bridges has now gone 57, 53, 45 and 52 over his last four games, the eighth-best four-game average in the league going by each player's latest four, and the last of them came on the second night of a back-to-back.

The same box score gave Jalen Green six points and no rebounds in 24 minutes, on a night when Booker played 34. The analysts' consensus has Green 85th on points and 129th on 9-cat, and our board has moved him to 137th and 197th. Bridges goes the other way, 69th and 64th on our boards against a consensus of 92nd and 114th. Seven games have favored our side of both disagreements so far, which gives managers a trade to make and in some leagues a drop.
