Lakers' Avery Bradley: Pops for 14 points Friday
Rotowire
Bradley closed Friday's 128-123 overtime win over Toronto with 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 25 minutes.
Bradley scored 14 points in the win, the first time he has put up double-digit points in over a month. Despite a somewhat consistent role, Bradley is not particularly close to being a standard league fantasy asset. In deeper formats, managers would need to see more games like this before considering him a worthwhile addition.

Lakers' Avery Bradley: Scoreless in 16 minutes
Rotowire
Bradley (knee) ended with zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Saturday's 124-116 victory over the Warriors.
Bradley was technically active for the Lakers' previous game against the Clippers, but he didn't see any court time in that contest. As such, this was his first opportunity to play since missing four games with a right knee injury. He was invisible on offense against the Warriors but did corral five boards in his 16 minutes. Bradley has started 42 of the 50 games in which he has played this season and could return to that role once he ramps back up, but he hasn't produced the type of output that makes him worth rostering in fantasy.

Rotowire
Bradley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Pelicans.
Bradley is slated to miss his third straight contest due to a right knee effusion. The injury dates back to before the All-Star break, which raises concern that it may be a long term issue. Nonetheless, barring any further update, it appears the Lakers will continue to update Bradley's status on a game-by-game basis. Therefore, his next chance to suit up will come Tuesday against the Mavericks.

Lakers' Avery Bradley: Cleared for Friday
Rotowire

Rotowire
Bradley is listed as questionable for Friday's contest against the Hornets due to a stomach illness, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
Bradley played 26 minutes during Thursday's loss, but his status for the second half of the back-to-back is up in the air. Malik Monk (groin) has already been ruled out, so if Bradley is also sidelined, Wayne Ellington, Austin Reaves, Talen Horton-Tucker and Kent Bazemore would all be candidates for increased roles.

Lakers' Avery Bradley: Impressive against Hawks
Rotowire
Bradley finished with 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and six rebounds over 24 minutes during Friday's 134-118 win over Atlanta.
Bradley is known more for his defensive ability rather than his scoring exploits, but this wasn't the case Friday since he ended as one of the Lakers' highest-scoring players. The fact that he has scored at least 14 points in three of his last six appearances is encouraging for his fantasy upside, at least on a short-term basis.
