Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Balanced line in blowout loss
Rotowire
Bogdanovic had 18 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 142-110 loss to the Nuggets.
Bogdanovic has responded well to his adjusted role in the backcourt, but Trae Young's (finger) potential return may send the former back to the second unit. Jalen Johnson is locked in at the four, leaving Bogdanovic and De'Andre Hunter as the top candidates to be excluded from the starting five if Young returns in time for the Play-In Tournament.
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: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Bogdanovic missed Friday's contest against the Jazz, but it seems that will be a short-lived absence, and it wouldn't be shocking if he handles his regular workload against the Clippers on Sunday. Bogdanovic is averaging 15.0 points, 4.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.

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.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Erupts in loss
Rotowire
Bogdanovic supplied 28 points (11-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 136-126 loss to the Bulls.
Bogdanovic matched his second-highest scoring output of the season, while Monday represented his 16th game of the campaign with at least 20 points. The 31-year-old is a critical figure for Atlanta's spacing and rotational three-point shooting. His booming scoring ability makes him one of the top microwave bench bombers in the league, although his fantasy value is typically entirely tied to his nightly scoring production.
