Hawks' CJ McCollum: Swats three shots Thursday
Rotowire
McCollum provided eight points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and three blocks over 32 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 victory over Utah.
The Hawks appear content with keeping McCollum in a reserve role, and the veteran guard has maintained healthy workloads from the second unit. However, it does remain to be seen how the eventual presences of Buddy Hield, Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Gabe Vincent might shake up the rotation. McCollum has come off the bench in nine consecutive games, during which he's averaging 18.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 28.4 minutes per tilt.

He is fine to have on a standard-league roster, keeping in mind that his overall value is reliant on just a couple of categories.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
McCollum is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
McCollum is getting the start with Dyson Daniels (ankle) unavailable Saturday, so he should see some increased playmaking and scoring opportunities. With McCollum running with the starters, Kevin Huerter could spend more time operating as the primary playmaker in the second unit.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Surges with 25 points from bench
Rotowire
McCollum racked up 25 points (11-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 141-116 loss to the Lakers.
A move to the first unit seems to be a foregone conclusion for McCollum, who joined the Hawks in the Trae Young trade. The Hawks can't afford to keep the veteran on the bench for long, and either Dyson Daniels or Nickeil Alexander-Walker could be removed to allow for McCollum's insertion into the starting five.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Modest production in team debut
Rotowire
McCollum amassed 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.
McCollum made his Hawks debut Sunday after being acquired Friday in the deal that sent Trae Young to the Wizards. After he had started in each of his 35 appearances with Washington while averaging 30.9 minutes per contest, McCollum was deployed on the second unit Sunday and predictably saw a reduction in his playing time. The 34-year-old still looks to be worthy of holding in most leagues for the time being, but if he ends up sticking in a 20-to-25-minute bench role with the Hawks on a more permanent basis, fantasy managers in shallower formats may be best served moving on from him.

Hawks' CJ McCollum: Traded to Atlanta
Rotowire
The Wizards traded McCollum (quadriceps) and Corey Kispert (hamstring) to the Hawks on Wednesday in exchange for Trae Young (quadriceps), Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
McCollum was acquired by the Wizards in the offseason in a trade with the Pelicans in June, and the veteran guard will end up being on his third team in less than a year. McCollum started in each of his 35 appearances with Washington this season, but it's unclear whether whether he'll retain that role in Atlanta, as he would have to displace Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker or Zaccharie Risacher from the Hawks' starting five. McCollum is averaging 18.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.7 threes over 30.9 minutes per game this season.
