Bridges has been getting a chance to start lately as he puts the finishing touches on his rookie season. In his last two games, he’s seen at least 29 minutes and has responded with one double-double and one near miss.

Zeller’s on a nice little roll. flirting with a double-double in each of the last six games, while reaching double-digit points in four straight.

Despite limited PT, Ellington sunk more buckets last month, but overall, he’s played just 25 games after falling out of the rotation with a crowded backcourt in Miami and racking up the DNP-CDs. He’ll have a chance to redeem himself with the Pistons.

Osman looked like a breakout candidate when he opened the season with a double-double and followed it up with 22 points and eight assists in the second game. However, he shot poorly in November and didn’t jack up as many trey attempts in December. Well, the Turkish forward is back now, scoring 25 points with eight boards on Wednesday and then pouring in a career high 29 on Friday. Osman is getting more touches lately, and has been sinking more buckets this month. He’s canning way more three-pointers this season, so time to give him a look.
