Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Game-high 30 points in Olympic win
Rotowire
Bogdanovic tallied 30 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes in Serbia's 96-85 win over South Sudan in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Bogdanovic was lethal from beyond the arc, and he has served as an extremely productive second option behind Nikola Jokic. The 31-year-old did it all in the win while leading the team with a game high in points and a team high in assists. South Sudan was able to keep the game competitive up until the middle of the fourth quarter, but Bogdanovic's offensive barrage while Jokic was on the bench helped Serbia pull away. In three group-phase appearances, the sharpshooter averaged 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 28.0 minutes per game. The veteran will be crucial for Serbia in the Olympic quarterfinals, and his ability to get a bucket while Jokic is not on the floor could be game-altering.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Puts up 17 points Friday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic recorded 17 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 109-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Bogdanovic's fantasy upside will always be tied to his scoring prowess and his shooting ability, and on that note, he continues to make his presence felt, scoring at least 15 points in four of his last five appearances. Bogdanovic has averaged 19.0 points while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 36 percent from three over his last 10 outings.
Bogdanovic closed with 20 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Bulls.
Bogdanovic played a massive role in Atlanta's pivotal win over the Bulls, which moved the Hawks closer to securing a spot in the Play-In Tournament after missing just one shot from the field throughout the entire contest. Bogdanovic needs to be at his best for a Hawks team that remains without Trae Young (finger), and the veteran sharpshooter has delivered of late, putting up 20 or more points for the fourth time in his last five appearances. He's averaging 24.0 points per game in that five-game stretch.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Explodes for 38 points in loss
Rotowire
Bogdanovic finished with 38 points (12-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Bucks.
Bogdanovic posted his second-highest total of the season during the loss. While big totals come for Bogdanovic after a solid night of shooting beyond the arc, he managed a big number despite draining only five shots from downtown. He was effective with his mid-range shot and made nine of 10 attempts at the charity stripe to supplement his usual long-range skills. He also added 10 rebounds to create his first double-double of the season. After a modest start, the game flow started clicking for Bogdanovic in the fourth quarter, where he posted 17 points.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Puts up 22 points in win Thursday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic closed with 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 43 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime win over Boston.
Bogdanovic's final stat line seems nice, but he struggled from deep once again, and he's gone 4-for-15 from three-point range over his last two games. He's talented enough to bounce back sooner rather than later, though, and he's scoring enough to remain viable in fantasy with most leagues in the playoffs.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Leaves early Sunday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic went back to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 110-93 win over the Clippers and did not return, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Bogdanovic headed to the locker room with about seven minutes remaining in the game and did not return to the sideline. He was able to walk under his own power and nothing was noticeably wrong, so he could have just left the sideline knowing his night was over as the team was up by 20 points. More information should be given postgame, but at this point, there seem to be no issues here.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Ruled out versus Jazz
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (illness) won't play Friday against the Jazz, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The loss of Bogdanovic is a big blow to the Hawks, who are already low on scoring options out of the backcourt and the wing with Trae Young (finger), Saddiq Bey (knee) and Kobe Bufkin (toe) sidelined. With Bogdanovic sidelined Friday, the Hawks could utilize Garrison Mathews, Dylan Windler and Trent Forrest a bit more.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Goes for 23 points in win
Rotowire
Bogdanovic closed with 23 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 victory over Cleveland.
Bogdanovic left a good impression on offense and carried the team from a scoring perspective en route to a tight win over the Cavaliers. The veteran sharpshooter has started in each of Atlanta's last six games due to the absence of Trae Young (finger) and has been thriving, putting up 14.7 points per game. He is, however, shooting just 39.7 percent from the field and 35 percent from deep in that span, so there's still room for improvement. Bogdanovic's scoring figures are enough to make him valuable in most formats.
