Struggles in spot start Kispert finished with six points (2-11 FG, 2-9 3Pt), two assists, two blocks and one rebound in 26 minutes during Monday's 113-110 preseason win over the Thunder.

Impact Kispert was elevated into the starting lineup, with Atlanta choosing to rest a number of its key personnel. However, despite the opportunity, Kispert failed to find any rhythm on the offensive end, in turn highlighting his lack of peripheral numbers. While the two blocks were nice, fantasy managers shouldn't expect anything close to that during the regular season. At best, he can be utilized as a streaming option for threes, but only when absolutely essential.

Earns starting nod Monday Kispert is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason game against Oklahoma City, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With Dyson Daniels and Lu Dort resting, Kispert will enter the starting five. Through three preseason games, the Gonzaga product is averaging 11.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 19.8 minutes per contest.

Corey Kispert returning to form could complicate Hawks' impending decision If Kispert shoots like he did Monday night for most of the season, it's going to be hard for Atlanta to keep him on the bench.

Scores 19 points in preseason loss Kispert contributed 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's 132-123 preseason loss to the Grizzli...

Impact Kispert made the most of his 20 minutes off the bench, led Atlanta in scoring, and also set a team high with four threes. The sharpshooter made the most of his limited workload, needing only 11 field-goal attempts to produce 19 points. Kispert's ability to stretch the floor should keep him firmly in Atlanta's rotation, though his fantasy value will depend on whether he can provide enough production outside of scoring and three-pointers.

Role uncertain for 2026-27 Kispert will have added competition for playing time after the Hawks acquired both Luguentz Dort and Aaron Wiggins this offseason.

Impact Kispert was traded from Washington to Atlanta last January, averaging 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 18.2 minutes per game in 39 regular-season appearances with the Hawks. However, the club traded for Wiggins, Dort and Ryan Nembhard this summer, giving up Zaccharie Risacher and draft capital in the two deals. Kispert's floor-spacing ability could help him retain a meaningful role, but he isn't guaranteed significant minutes in a crowded wing group.

Impact Kispert wasn't able to find much success off the bench for Atlanta as the season came to a disappointing end. Following his mid-season trade to the Hawks from the Wizards, Kispert appeared in 39 regular-season contests with averages of 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 18.2 minutes per contest.

Headed to bench Kispert will come off the bench for Saturday's Game 1 matchup with the Knicks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Kispert started in Atlanta's regular-season finale with the Hawks resting most of their main guys, but he'll return to a reserve role for the playoffs. As a member of the second unit this season, Kispert has averaged 8.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 three-pointers per game.

Starting in regular-season finale Kispert is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The Hawks are resting all of their normal starters for Sunday's regular-season finale, so Kispert will enter Atlanta's starting five for the eighth time this season. His last start took place March 12 against the Nets, when he played 20 minutes and finished with seven points, four assists and three rebounds.

Muted role continues Kispert closed Friday's 124-102 win over Cleveland with eight points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT) and one assist in nine minutes.

Impact Kispert continues to play limited minutes off the bench, resulting in modest production. While he does provide the Hawks with a floor-spacing option off the bench, his lack of defensive versatility makes him more of a depth piece than a consistent part of the rotation.

Removed from rotation Kispert (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Monday in the Hawks' 112-102 win over the Celtics.

Impact For the first time since being acquired from the Wizards in early January, Kispert was left out of the rotation. The Hawks opted to remove Kispert from the mix after he had struggled to live up to his billing as a perimeter threat over his first 35 appearances with the club, during which he shot just 32.6 percent from downtown on 4.1 attempts per game. Kispert doesn't offer much impact as a creator and isn't a standout defender, so his opportunities could be limited while he continues to struggle with his three-point shot.

Chips in 11 points off bench Kispert had 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 16 minutes during Monday's 146-107 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Kispert remains a difficult fantasy player to roster, given his lack of contributions elsewhere in the box score. The swingman has averaged only 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 14.0 minutes per contest in his last six games, shooting a poor 25.0 percent from downtown during this span.

Retreating to bench Kispert is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Bucks, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Impact Dyson Daniels (toe) is back from a one-game absence, pushing Kispert back to the second unit. Across his last six outings as a reserve, Kispert has averaged 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes per game.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Joining starting lineup Kispert will start Thursday's game against the Nets, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Dyson Daniels (toe) was downgraded to out a few hours before tipoff, opening up a spot in the starting five for Kispert. The Gonzaga product started six straight games from Jan. 19 - Jan. 29 and averaged 9.2 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists during this span.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Barely visible in win Kispert supplied two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) over 15 minutes during Tuesday's 124-112 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Kispert scored just two points, failing to reach double digits for the ninth time in the past 11 games. While he does provide the Hawks with another floor-spacing option, Kispert offers very little upside across the board. In 25 appearances since joining Atlanta, he has averaged just 10.0 points and 1.6 three-pointers, barely putting up top-300 value.
