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.

Impact Kispert played well in the spot-start, and he saw his usage rate spike to 21.1 with Atlanta resting their usual starters. Kispert has been a solid addition to the Hawks with averages of 9.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 triples per game on 46/35/81 shooting splits.

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.

Hawks' brutal injury news opens the door for key contributor to emerge in rotation After the injury to Jock Landale, Corey Kispert is back in the rotation and making the most of his early minutes.

APRIL 4 • SOARINGDOWNSOUTH.COM

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.

Pops for 33 points Kispert closed with 33 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 28 minutes during Thursday's 126-96 win over Washington.

Impact Kispert led Washington with 33 points despite being deployed off the bench. This offensive outburst marks his best of the season through 40 games. Unfortunately for Kispert, these opportunities on the offensive end are likely to dwindle once Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) and Jalen Johnson (hip) return to play.
