SADDIQ BEY NEWS

Enters starting lineup Sunday Bey is starting Sunday against the Celtics, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Bey came off the bench in his last 10 appearances but will rejoin the starting lineup Sunday with Jalen Johnson (wrist) sidelined. Johnson is slated to miss at least 3-to-4 weeks, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Bey retain a starting role in the coming weeks. Over three starts earlier this year, Bey averaged 11.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game.

Plays 32 minutes off bench Bey ended with 13 points (6-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 win over the Wizards.

Impact Bey started the second half of Saturday's contest, as Jalen Johnson suffered a wrist injury and was unable to return. If Johnson misses additional time, Bey is the most likely candidate to start which could see his fantasy value trend up. In 28.2 minutes per game this season, Bey holds season averages of 12.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.

Double-doubles off bench Tuesday Bey racked up 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 157-152 loss to Indiana.

Impact Bey seems to have lost the starting power forward role to Jalen Johnson, but he seems determined to get it back based on how good he's played of late. Bey has scored in double digits in each of his last four outings while shooting 59 percent from the field in that stretch.

Strong revenge game Bey posted 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 win over Detroit.

Impact Bey's 19 points marked a season high, and his output could have been partially motivated by playing against the team that traded him for James Wiseman last year. Bey's has been slightly duplicative on Atlanta's roster this year with Jalen Johnson and DeAndre Hunter directly competing for minutes, but he's still a two-way contributor at a primary position.

Moves back to bench Bey is not in the starting lineup to face the Pelicans on Saturday, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Bey has been trading starts at power forward with Jalen Johnson, and he will move to the bench for the third time in Atlanta's last four contests. He's averaging 11.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest.

Retreats to bench Bey isn't starting Sunday's game against the Bucks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Saddiq Bey notches career-high steals as Hawks aim for defensive improvement With the team looking to get out in front and play with a quick offense, it put an even bigger priority on getting stops.

Hits for 13 in Friday's loss Bey scored 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 Ft) while adding four rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes during Friday's 120-106 preseason loss to the 76ers.

Impact The 24-year-old forward got pushed this preseason for a starting job by Jalen Johnson, but Bey seems to have done enough to stay in the starting five with two strong performances to close out the exhibition schedule after he popped for 21 points and 10 boards against the Pacers on Monday. His offensive contributions (14.8 PPG to 11.6 PPG) and usage rate (21.3% to 17.4%) declined last season after the trade that brought him over from Detroit, but Atlanta needs secondary scoring behind Trae Young, so Bey's three-point shooting should allow him to maintain a consistent role.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Feasts in win Bey poured in 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT) while tacking on 10 rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes of action during Monday's 116-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact Bey had been absent from Atlanta's two prior preseason games, but he set aside any injury speculation with a dominant performance in limited run Monday. The 24-year-old is well positioned for a productive scoring campaign entering his first full season with the Hawks.

Won't play Thursday Bey has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact The Hawks didn't indicate that Bey is dealing with an injury, so he's likely sitting out for rest purposes. Jalen Johnson and Mouhamed Gueye could see increased run in his absence, while Bey's next chance to suit up will be during Saturday's exhibition matchup against the Pelicans.

NBA Play-In gives Atlanta Hawks' Saddiq Bey chance to make good on improbable promise Something Saddiq Bey said to himself back in October, something outlandish, while he was playing for Detroit, kept him awake Monday night.

Moves into starting lineup Bey will start versus the Nets on Friday according to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Impact De'Andre Hunter (left knee swelling) is sitting this one out for the Hawks. Hunter usually plays a ton of minutes for Atlanta, so this will be a great opportunity for Bey to see plenty of usage and shots. Bogdan Bogdanovic, AJ Griffin and Jalen Johnson are also candidates to see increased run.

Struggles in loss Bey amassed nine points (4-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Sunday's 123-119 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Bey scored single digits for the first time in his past four games, continuing what has been a modest yet underwhelming start to his Atlanta career. Since being traded to the Hawks, Bey has eclipsed 20 points only once, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. Given his role tends to fluctuate from one night to the next, he should be viewed as nothing more than a stream option for anyone in need of points and triples.

Efficient off bench Wednesday Bey registered 16 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Bey failed to log more than 20 minutes off the bench for the third game in a row, but he scored in double digits for the second straight contest and is trying to make the most of his chance despite his decrease in playing time. He's averaging 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds across 24.8 minutes per game since joining the Hawks, but those numbers are clearly a drop-off compared to what he was putting up at the beginning of the season when he was playing for the Pistons.

Double-double off bench Tuesday Bey accumulated 14 points (5-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 20 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 129-107 victory over the Pistons.

Impact It's his first double-double of the season, but the third-year forward continues to have trouble adjusting to his second-unit role on his new club. Bey managed a total of only 12 points over his prior three games, and in 15 contests for the Hawks he's averaging 10.4 points, 4.3 boards and 2.1 threes in 25.1 minutes a game. Barring an injury that moves him into the starting lineup, the 23-year-old will be tough to rely on down the stretch.

Nice offensive outing Bey finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Bey came off the bench to score 17 points, the fourth time in the past five games that he has scored at least 14 points. While his playing time has been up and down since arriving in Atlanta, Bey has at least been able to hover around the top 100 in nine-category formats. He doesn't offer much outside of scoring and triples, although that alone can be enough to earn a roster spot in most leagues.
