Gueye will come off the bench for Friday's game versus the Nuggets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Jalen Johnson is back and starting and Kristaps Porzingis will be working with the second unit, so it could be tough for Gueye to find meaningful minutes Friday evening. He's a risky target with the Hawks' frontcourt healthy again.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Scoreless over 23 minutes
Rotowire
Gueye ended Wednesday's 115-92 loss to the Clippers with zero points (0-2 FG), six rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes.
Gueye saw some increased opportunity as a starter Wednesday, but he failed to make the most of it, missing both of his shot attempts in a scoreless performance. He's gone 0-for-5 from the floor over the past two games, so he's clearly slumping at the moment. Expect him to return to a reserve role Friday against the Nuggets.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Gueye is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Gueye is getting the start with Jalen Johnson (calf) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu. As a starter this season, Gueye has posted averages of 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.0 triples, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: All-around impact in win
Rotowire
Gueye closed Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime victory over the 76ers with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 23 minutes.
Gueye has now put up back-to-back double-digit scoring performances and has recorded both a steal and a block in both those games. His increased role may be due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being sidelined, but Gueye has taken advantage of the opportunity and will continue to do so if Porzingis remains out.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Muted in win
Rotowire
Gueye posted four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two blocks over 17 minutes during Sunday's 113-110 win over the Hornets.
Gueye's role within Atlanta's rotation has been very inconsistent, and although he recorded two blocks Sunday, he scored only four points in 17 minutes. Gueye will likely continue to back up Jalen Johnson for the foreseeable future.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Leads Atlanta in start
Rotowire
Gueye amassed 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes in Saturday's 122-102 win over the Lakers.
Gueye got the starting nod for the injury-plagued Hawks, posting a team- and career-high 21 points. He also knocked down four three-pointers for just the second time in his career. Additionally, the 22-year-old dished out a career-high mark in assists after totaling eight in his first nine regular-season appearances. He'll likely continue to provide a spark off the bench, though Gueye is a likely candidate to step into the starting five whenever Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) is sidelined.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Flirts with double-double in win
Rotowire
Gueye produced 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three turnovers in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 111-107 win over Orlando.
Gueye got some extended run in this one with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) unavailable and both Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu dealing with foul trouble, and he made the most out of the opportunity. He brought some great energy and grit to the second unit, but it's worth noting he only saw five minutes off the bench in the season opener when Porzingis was healthy. There's a lot of talent here, but he's currently buried on the depth chart.

Rotowire
Gueye totaled 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.
Gueye was a bright spot in a disappointing overall showing from the Hawks. The forward offers solid per-minute upside in fantasy, but he's seen just 21.4 minutes over his last five outings. In that span, Gueye has posted averages of 7.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks on 56.5 percent shooting from the field.

Coming off a 12-rebound effort against the Nets on Thursday, Gueye did even better on the boards Friday as he hauled in a career-high 18 rebounds, nine of which came on the offensive side of the floor. Gueye has averaged 7.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals over 20.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Moving to bench role
Rotowire
Gueye isn't starting Thursday's game against the Heat.
Gueye will come off the bench for the first time since Feb. 7, as the Hawks have elected to change up the starting five.

Vit Krejci will be penciled into the starting lineup in Gueye's place.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Muted performance in loss
Rotowire
Gueye notched two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 17 minutes during Sunday's 122-114 loss to the Nets.
Gueye posted a dud of a fantasy line Sunday, but his fantasy managers should consider cutting him some slack. Over his last seven outings, Gueye has been a top-100 fantasy player in nine-category formats in just 19.2 minutes with 7.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Back with parent club
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Gueye from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.
Gueye will rejoin the Hawks for Monday's game in Orlando after he had been assigned to the G League ahead of Saturday's 125-111 win over the Wizards. The Hawks chose to hold the second-year big man out Saturday because he had already seen significant playing time in both of the previous two days, as he logged 34 minutes for College Park in Thursday's win over the Birmingham Squadron before joining Atlanta and producing 15 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 23 minutes in Friday's win over the Bucks. In the wake of his big performance Friday, Gueye may have made a case for a more permanent spot in the rotation, though he likely won't be in line for major minutes in Monday's game in any case since the Hawks have all of their key forwards and centers available aside from Jalen Johnson (shoulder).

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Drops 11 points in spot start
Rotowire
Gueye racked up 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-96 loss to Houston.
Gueye was unexpectedly named a starter Tuesday, filling in for Zaccharie Risacher, who was resting on the second night of a back-to-back. It was the first start of Gueye's career and just the fourth time he has appeared in a game all season. There is no reason to think he will step into a consistent role assuming the Hawks can stay relatively healthy.

Gueye was assigned to the G League on Friday and recalled the same day. The 21-year-old will be available off the bench for Friday's game against the Kings but isn't a lock to be included in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation, even with injuries piling up for Atlanta.
