Bogdanovic (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Bogdanovic will play Wednesday after being upgraded from questionable to available due to right knee injury management. He is averaging 12.4 points, 2.2 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 23.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Iffy against Minnesota
Rotowire
Bogdanovic is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves due to right knee injury management, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Bogdanovic also sat out the second leg of Atlanta's most recent back-to-back, so that likely explains his questionable tag Wednesday. AJ Griffin, Garrison Mathews and Aaron Holiday would be candidates to see extended minutes if Bogdanovic sits.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Drains four threes in win
Rotowire
Bogdanovic contributed 18 points (5-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and three assists in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 129-107 win over the Pistons.
The 30-year-old wing has been locked in from the outside since signing a four-year contract extension with the Hawks last week. Over the last three games, Bogdanovic has gone 10-for-21 (47.6 percent) from beyond the arc and scored at least 13 points in each contest. He got the start Tuesday with Dejounte Murray (illness) unavailable, but Bogdanovic figures to offer reliable production down the stretch regardless of his role.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Gets the start Tuesday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic will move into the starting lineup Tuesday against the Pistons, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Dejounte Murray is sitting out Tuesday with an illness, and his status for Wednesday's game against Minnesota is uncertain. Bogdanovic usually sees minutes in the mid-20s, but he'll likely see a much bigger workload versus Detroit with plenty of usage too.
Bogdanovic and the Hawks agreed Thursday to a four-year, $68 million contract extension, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bogdanovic is in the midst of his age-30 campaign and third season with the Hawks. He missed the first month and a half of this season while recovering from a knee injury but has since played up to his usual standard, averaging 14.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting 44/40/81. He's been a reliable sixth man for Atlanta, and the Hawks apparently wanted to lock in that steadiness amid a tumultuous past two seasons. Though Bogdanovic's fantasy value has decreased each of the past two seasons, he remains a quality option in deep leagues and can be streamed in standard formats.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Available Monday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (back) is available for Monday's game against Minnesota.
Bogdanovic missed Saturday's game against Boston due to back tightness, but he participated in Monday's shootaround and has been cleared to suit up against the Timberwolves. He's scored in double figures in four consecutive appearances and has averaged 13.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.0 minutes per game during that time.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Goes through shootaround
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (back), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves, was spotted going through the team's morning shootaround, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Bogdanovic appeared to be moving around well during shootaround in what amounts to a promising sign for his availability Monday. In the event the Hawks decide to err on the caution and rule Bogdanovic out ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip, head coach Quin Snyder could distribute Bogdanovic's minutes to the likes of Saddiq Bey, Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Minnesota, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The back issue forced Bogdanovic to the sidelines for Saturday's loss to the Celtics, which allowed Jalen Johnson and AJ Griffin to get some extended run. It'll be more of the same Monday if Bogdanovic is forced to spend another game on the sidelines.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics due to back tightness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Bogdanovic will miss his third game of the calendar year due to back discomfort. With De'Andre Hunter (ankle) questionable, AJ Griffin, Garrison Mathews and Saddiq Bey could see expanded roles Saturday. Bogdanovic's next chance to play will come Monday against the Timberwolves.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Flirts with double-double off bench
Rotowire
Bogdanovic logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 victory over the Wizards.
Bogdanovic had three tepid performances to begin March, but his efficient, cross-category production Wednesday may have temporarily restored the faith of 12-team managers who had been contemplating whether to drop him. Though his ceiling appears to be lower while he shares usage on the second unit with trade-deadline pickup Saddiq Bey, Bogdanovic still looks like a decent enough back-end roster option for managers in need of three-pointers and free-throw percentage.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Scores in double figures off bench
Rotowire
Bogdanovic amassed 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Heat.
The backup guard connected on at least three triples for a third time over his past four games and outscored both of the starting backcourt members (Trae Young and Dejounte Murray). Since the end of January (14 games), Bogdanovic is averaging 13.2 points while shooting 46.3 percent from the field and 48.8 percent from deep.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Excellent outing off bench Sunday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic registered 22 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 129-127 victory over the Nets.
Bogdanovic was efficient from the field and contributed across the board en route to posting an excellent outing off the bench. However, this performance was likely to be an outlier rather than a sign of things to come, as he's reached the 20-point mark just twice this month and has averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 10 February outings.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Officially cleared
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (hip) is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Hornets.
As expected, Bogdanovic has been cleared minutes after head coach Nate McMillan said the sharpshooter "should" play. Bogdanovic has appeared in 10 straight games (two starts) and is averaging 13.8 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 28.3 minutes during that stretch. He should garner a similar role against Charlotte.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Expected to play
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Hornets, but Hawks head coach Nate McMillan said the sharpshooter "should" play, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.
It appears Bogdanovic is trending more toward probable than questionable at this point, but fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm his status ahead of Monday's 7 p.m. ET tip. The sharpshooter has appeared in 10 straight games (two starts) and averaged 13.8 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 28.3 minutes during that stretch. Given he's cleared to suit up, he should see a similar role versus Charlotte.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets with right hip soreness.
If Bogdanovic is forced to the sideline Monday, more minutes would likely open up for AJ Griffin, Garrison Mathews and perhaps Saddiq Bey, who could be available to make his Atlanta debut now that the agreed-upon four-team deal that was made Thursday has been finalized. The Hawks will likely reassess Bogdanovic during Monday's morning shootaround before updating his status prior to the 7 p.m. ET opening tip.
Bogdanovic closed Thursday's 116-107 win over the Suns with six points (2-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt) and two assists over 22 minutes.
After scoring a team-high 22 points during Tuesday's loss to the Pelicans, Bogdanovic fell flat Thursday and tied his season-low mark with 22 minutes. Despite the solid output against New Orleans, the sharpshooter is averaging just 11.0 points on 36.4 percent shooting over his past four contests, but he's certainly capable of snapping out of his recent shooting slump at any point.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Leading scorer against New Orleans
Rotowire
Bogdanovic closed Tuesday's 116-107 loss to the Pelicans with a team-high 22 points (7-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT) to go with three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes off the bench.
The veteran wing didn't hurt his trade value ahead of Thursday's deadline with another strong effort. Bogdanovic has scored at least 20 points in three of the last seven games but also scored in single digits in three of them, averaging 15.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.4 boards, 2.9 threes and 1.0 steals over that stretch. A move to a contender could help the 30-year-old re-establish some consistency in his performances.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Leads second unit in scoring
Rotowire
Bogdanovic finished Monday's 129-125 loss to the Trail Blazers with 23 points (7-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one steal across 32 minutes.
While Trae Young (ankle) was sidelined Monday, Dejounte Murray (career-high 40 points, seven assists) stepped up as the Hawks' go-to player, while Bogdanovic moved into Murray's usual role as Atlanta's top secondary option on offense. Because Young isn't expected to be in store for a long-term absence, Bogdanovic's playing time and usage could take a dip as soon as Wednesday in Phoenix, but the excellent showing Monday is at least an encouraging sign for the 30-year-old after a recent string of underwhelming, inefficient performances.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Returns to second unit
Rotowire
Bogdanovic will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Bogdanovic saw a pair of starts for Atlanta with DeAndre Hunter (illness) sidelined, but he will return to the bench with Hunter back in action. In 19 appearances with the second unit, Bogdanovic has averaged 14.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 30.5 minutes.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Efficient from field Wednesday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic amassed 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 137-132 victory over the Thunder.
Bogdanovic was efficient from the field en route to his sixth game with at least 20 points this season. His ability as a scorer is not under question, but his performances on a game-to-game basis have been inconsistent at best. That has conspired against his fantasy value, but he remains a valuable player across most formats. He's averaging 13.0 points per game despite shooting 41.5 percent from the field and 31 percent from deep this month.
