  9H ago • By RotoWire

  Alexander-Walker is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Trae Young (knee) is back in the lineup to claim his usual spot in the first unit, which unsurprisingly sends Alexander-Walker to the bench. Over four appearances off the bench this year, Alexander-Walker has averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.1 minutes per game.

  Alexander-Walker posted 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four assists and two rebounds over 33 minutes during the Hawks' 126-98 loss to the Spurs on Friday. Alexander-Walker returned to the starting lineup Friday after coming off the bench Thursday against the Hornets. The Hawks struggled as a whole on both ends of the floor, but despite his inefficiencies from three-point range, Alexander-Walker still managed to lead Atlanta in scoring and finished as the game's second-leading scorer behind Victor Wembanyama (26 points). Since Dec. 1, Alexander-Walker has averaged 22.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 32.9 minutes per game.

  Alexander-Walker racked up 28 points (11-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 loss to Charlotte. Alexander-Walker moved back to a bench role following the return of Trae Young from a knee injury, but his production didn't take any sort of hit. Thursday marked the fifth time in seven December appearances that Alexander-Walker has scored 20 or more points, and he should continue to see chances to fire at the offensive end, even with Young now healthy.

Over three games off the bench this year, Alexander-Walker has averaged 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 30.1 minutes per tilt.
