Hawks' Luke Kennard: Empty performance Saturday
Rotowire
Kennard supplied 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 18 minutes during Saturday's 129-124 loss to Indiana.
Kennard scrapped his way to 11 points, although he failed to produce anything in terms of peripheral numbers. He has now scored fewer than 14 points in five straight games, one of which was a scoreless performance against the Rockets. He remains a viable three-point streaming option, albeit one with an element of risk.

Rotowire
Kennard racked up 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-9 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 20 minutes during Sunday's 124-111 victory over the Warriors.
Kennard exited in the second quarter due to a neck injury but returned and caught fire, pouring in a season-high 22 points while drilling a game-high six three-pointers. The veteran's minutes have fluctuated in a reserve role across all 36 appearances this season, but elite perimeter shooting remains his calling card, as the Duke product is connecting on 47.5 percent from deep and hasn't finished below 40.0 percent since the 2019-20 campaign.

With all of the absences for the Hawks, Kennard saw a boost in playing time Monday but has struggled for fantasy relevance overall.
