Bledsoe struggled in Sunday's loss to the Lakers, scoring 10 points (1-9 FG, 8-11 FT) and committing four turnovers in 29 minutes.

Analysis:

Bledsoe's shooting hasn't been excellent since he returned from a knee injury two weeks ago (42.0 percent), and Sunday's effort was easily his poorest shooting night of the season. However, he's still one of the best rebounding guards in the league and is contributing 5.4 assists per game since returning. Plus, Bledsoe is effectively getting to the free throw line and has attempted at least 10 free throws in three of the last nine contests.
