Miles Bridges of the Charlotte Hornets slides down to third in this week's NBA Most Improved Player of the Year power rankings. Bridges had a rough outing in three of his four games last week, including games against the Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and Orlando Magic.
The 23-year-old forward's only good game of the week came in the loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Bridges had 35 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in the 10-point defeat. He will have to perform much better this week if he wants to stay in the top five of the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year power rankings.

Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat moves up to number two in this week's NBA Most Improved Player of the Year power rankings. Herro was balling in the three games he played this week. He missed one game due to a wrist injury, but he played the next game.
Herro's best performance of the week came against the Detroit Pistons.

Morant finished the game with 32 points, four rebounds and seven assists. He made the final pass to Jaren Jackson Jr., who hit the game-winning three-point shot.
