Provides spark off bench Wiggins contributed 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Wiggins supplied a well-rounded performance in reserve, connecting on three triples while making an impact defensively. His 29 minutes were the most among Atlanta's bench players, and he finished with a plus-15 rating. The combination of perimeter scoring and defensive production makes Wiggins worth monitoring in deeper leagues if he continues seeing substantial playing time.

Scores 20 points off bench Wiggins notched 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and a block across 24 minutes in Thursday's 114-111 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Wiggins delivered an impressive offensive performance off the bench, and while he's not expected to maintain this efficiency over the season, he's made the most of his role so far. This 20-point output was a season-high mark for Wiggins, but he's scored in double digits in each of his six appearances so far while clearing the 15-point mark four times. Wiggins offers intriguing scoring upside in Atlanta's rotation, but his fantasy reliability will depend almost entirely on his scoring, as he hasn't offered much value in other categories so far.

Efficient scoring off bench Wiggins notched 19 points (7-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), a rebound, an assist and two steals across 22 minutes off the bench in Friday's 128-81 win over the Hornets.

Impact Wiggins tied Jalen Johnson for the team lead in scoring despite playing just 22 minutes, converting seven of his nine field-goal attempts. His efficiency was impressive, but the limited workload and modest peripheral production suggest his fantasy value could remain inconsistent. With Atlanta featuring several established offensive options, Wiggins may need to maintain strong shooting percentages to deliver meaningful fantasy production.

Drops 16 points in opener Wiggins closed with 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 132-125 win over Orlando.

Impact Wiggins was one of only two Hawks players to log more than 30 minutes, despite playing off the bench. He finished with 16 points in his 32 minutes, an encouraging sign for what might be to come. However, the majority of the starting five played somewhat limited minutes as the team eases into the season. Keeping that in mind, it wouldn't be surprising to see Wiggins' playing time decrease slightly over the coming weeks.

Solid display off bench Friday Wiggins delivered 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 22 minutes in Friday's 135-111 preseason win over the Mavericks.

Impact Wiggins provided a significant offensive boost off Atlanta's bench, finishing as the team's third-leading scorer while connecting on four three-pointers. The forward also collected seven rebounds, the second-highest total on the team behind Jalen Johnson's 14, and posted an impressive plus-33 rating in just 22 minutes. Wiggins' scoring versatility and rebounding ability could make him a useful fantasy contributor if he earns consistent playing time.

Impact Wiggins provided an efficient scoring contribution off the bench, knocking down three three-pointers while also contributing defensively with two steals, factors that contributed to a team-high plus-13. His combination of perimeter shooting and defensive activity will secure him a consistent role in Atlanta's rotation, but his role off the bench will limit his upside a bit.

Back to bench role Wiggins is not in the starting lineup in Saturday's preseason game against the Pacers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Wiggins won't start after doing so in Thursday's contest, but he could still get minutes off the bench. The 27-year-old is expected to be a bench option at both forward spots once the regular season starts, and he'll move back to the bench here since Jalen Johnson is back in the starting lineup.
