Bey isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's Play-In Game versus the Heat.
Despite starting in five of Atlanta's last six games, Bey will be replaced by John Collins in the starting lineup Tuesday. However, Bey can still be relied upon for his outside shooting, making 2.0 threes on 5.2 attempts across his 40 bench appearances this season.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Back in starting lineup
Rotowire
Bey will start Sunday against the Celtics, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
With numerous regulars sidelined, Bey draws the start during Atlanta's regular-season finale and will be joined by Aaron Holiday, AJ Griffin, De'Andre Hunter and Onyeka Okongwu. Across his previous 36 starts this season, Bey has averaged 15.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in 30.5 minutes per game.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Moves back to bench
Rotowire
Bey isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus Philadelphia.
De'Andre Hunter will replace Bey in the starting lineup Friday after missing the previous four games with a knee injury. Bey is averaging 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25.3 minutes across his previous 39 appearances coming off the bench this season.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Scores 16 in starting unit
Rotowire
Bey closed with 16 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 124-107 loss to the Nets.
De'Andre Hunter (left knee swelling) sat this game out, allowing Bey to slide into the starting lineup. Bey was trending up coming into Friday's outing, averaging 13.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in his previous five games. He was one of the Hawks' few bright spots Friday evening, so he'll be looking to keep the momentum going April 2 against Dallas.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Bey will start versus the Nets on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
De'Andre Hunter (knee) is sitting out Friday for the Hawks. Hunter usually plays a ton of minutes for Atlanta, so this will be a great opportunity for Bey to see plenty of usage and shots. Bogdan Bogdanovic, AJ Griffin and Jalen Johnson are also candidates to see increased run.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Gets double-double in limited run
Rotowire
Bey finished Tuesday's 120-118 win over the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes.
Though he came away with his fourth double-double of the season, Bey still fell under the 25-minute mark for the sixth time in eight contests. He's averaging 10.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 three-pointers over that stretch of games, and that level of production makes him a better fit in 14-team leagues or deeper rather than 12-team formats.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Struggles in loss
Rotowire
Bey amassed nine points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Sunday's 123-119 loss to the Grizzlies.
Bey scored single digits for the first time in his past four games, continuing what has been a modest yet underwhelming start to his Atlanta career. Since being traded to the Hawks, Bey has eclipsed 20 points only once, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. Given his role tends to fluctuate from one night to the next, he should be viewed as nothing more than a stream option for anyone in need of points and triples.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Efficient off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Bey registered 16 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 loss to the Timberwolves.
Bey failed to log more than 20 minutes off the bench for the third game in a row, but he scored in double digits for the second straight contest and is trying to make the most of his chance despite his decrease in playing time. He's averaging 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds across 24.8 minutes per game since joining the Hawks, but those numbers are clearly a drop-off compared to what he was putting up at the beginning of the season when he was playing for the Pistons.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Double-double off bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Bey accumulated 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 129-107 victory over the Pistons.
It's his first double-double of the season, but the third-year forward continues to have trouble adjusting to his second-unit role on his new club. Bey managed a total of only 12 points over his prior three games, and in 15 contests for the Hawks he's averaging 10.4 points, 4.3 boards and 2.1 threes in 25.1 minutes a game. Barring an injury that moves him into the starting lineup, the 23-year-old will be tough to rely on down the stretch.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Nice offensive outing
Rotowire
Bey finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Celtics.
Bey came off the bench to score 17 points, the fourth time in the past five games that he has scored at least 14 points. While his playing time has been up and down since arriving in Atlanta, Bey has at least been able to hover around the top 100 in nine-category formats. He doesn't offer much outside of scoring and triples, although that alone can be enough to earn a roster spot in most leagues.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Goes ice cold Wednesday
Rotowire
Bey recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 victory over the Wizards.
After scoring a combined 39 points in the previous two games, Bey struggled Wednesday. However, ups and downs are nothing new for Bey. He has six performances this season with at least five made threes and 12 performances without a made triple.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Thriving on second unit
Rotowire
Bey finished Monday's 130-128 loss to the Heat with 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes.
Though he continues to come off the bench for the Hawks, Bey appears to have emerged as the team's preferred sixth man over Bogdan Bogdanovic. While playing 67 minutes to Bogdanovic's 50 between the past two contests, Bey has erupted for 39 points on 59.1 percent shooting from the field and 53.8 percent shooting from three-point range. Even for an above-average perimeter threat like Bey, that level of shooting is unsustainable. Bey typically doesn't offer much production in other areas when his shot isn't falling, so expect a notable downturn in his overall fantasy output from his past two games sooner rather than later.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Scores team-high 22 points
Rotowire
Bey logged 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Heat.
Bey came off the bench and outscored all of Atlanta's starters. His 22-point performance was his highest-scoring output since joining the Hawks, and he's now averaging 11.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 26.4 minutes with his new team (seven games).

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Back to bench
Rotowire
Bey isn't starting Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
With John Collins (concussion/back) available, Bey will shift back to his usual reserve role. Across three games with Atlanta, Bey has averaged 11.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 22.3 minutes, but he mustered only two points and five rebounds in 18 minutes during his lone appearance as a reserve with his new squad.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Modest production in start
Rotowire
Bey closed Monday's 144-138 loss to the Hornets with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 21 minutes.
Bey debuted for the Hawks on Monday, sliding straight into the starting lineup after John Collins was ruled out due to a hip issue. Despite starting, Bey logged only 21 minutes and put up 12 points with three made triples. While it appears he will have a steady role moving forward, it is unlikely he sees enough playing time to warrant fantasy attention outside slightly deeper formats. At this point, it is more of a wait-and-see situation.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Draws start Monday
Rotowire
Bey is starting Monday's contest against the Hornets.
The recently-acquired forward is listed as a starter for his first career game with the Hawks. Over Bey's 52 appearances with Detroit this season, the 23-year-old averaged 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.8 minutes per game.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Available Monday
Rotowire
Bey is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Hornets.
Bey will be available to make his Atlanta debut Monday after the four-team trade between the Warriors, Hawks, Trail Blazers and Pistons was finally completed Sunday. Across 52 appearances (30 starts) with Detroit, Bey averaged 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes. However, he'll likely have a smaller role in Atlanta, as he's expected to operate as a reserve option behind starting forwards John Collins (hip) and De'Andre Hunter. As Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network notes, Bey hasn't had a chance to put in a real practice with the Hawks since being acquired, so even though he may dress for Monday's contest, head coach Nate McMillan may not be keen on having him handle big minutes right off the bat.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Ruled out Saturday
Rotowire
Updating a previous report, Bey (trade) has been ruled out of Saturday's matchup against the Spurs.
Bey won't make his debut Saturday, and it seems everything hinges on whether the Warriors accept the trade while understanding the injury issues regarding Gary Payton (core). Given the deadline to accept the trade is Sunday at 9.30 p.m. ET, Bey won't be playing until next week at the earliest, and if he stays with the Hawks, then his next chance to feature would come Monday at Charlotte.
