Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Puts on stellar shooting display
Rotowire
Bogdanovic finished with 26 points (10-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds in 26 minutes Tuesday in the Hawks' 157-152 loss to the Pacers.
Bogdanovic hit double figures in the scoring column for the ninth straight game and cleared 20 points for the second time in three contests, but he did little to supplement his stellar shooting line. The empty lines have been a familiar sight for Bogdanovic, who is averaging 2.8 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 0.4 blocks in 26.0 minutes per contest through 13 appearances this season. However, because of the plus returns he's offering in four categories (15.5 points, 2.8 three-pointers and 1.5 steals per game, 94.7 percent shooting from the free-throw line), Bogdanovic profiles as a must-roster player even in 10-team leagues for the time being.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Leads team in scoring off bench
Rotowire
Bogdanovic contributed 28 points (8-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 116-114 loss to the Knicks.
With neither Trae Young nor Dejounte Murray providing their typical offense, Bogdanovic stepped up from the second unit with a season-best performance -- in fact, the veteran guard hadn't scored more than 17 points in a game coming into Wednesday. Bogdanovic has also added some extra fantasy value to his profile on the defensive end through the early part of 2023-24, recording multiple steals five times and averaging what would be a career-high 1.5 steals per game.

Bogdanovic logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, six assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-110 win over the Bucks.
The Hawks do not have a clear No. 3 offensive option behind Trae Young and Dejounte Murray, but it was Bogdanovic's turn to handle that role Sunday. The sharpshooter stepped his game up despite playing off the bench, finishing as one of Atlanta's main scorers in a huge win against a bonafide title contender.

Bogdanovic notched 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 win over the Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Bogdanovic moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Dejounte Murray who was serving a one-game suspension. Playing increased minutes, Bogdanovic turned in his best performance of the opening-round series, helping the Hawks to an incredible come-from-behind victory. Murray will return for Game 6, presumably sending Bogdanovic back to the bench. No matter his designation, Bogdanovic will need to keep his foot on the gas should the Hawks hope to force a Game 7.
