Hawks' Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot: Seven points in seventh start
Rotowire
Luwawu-Cabarrot produced seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal during Wednesday's 111-99 victory over Orlando.
Luwawu-Cabarrot logged his seventh straight start but responded with a moderate performance across 20 minutes of action. Since entering the starting lineup Dec. 1 against the Pacers, Luwawu-Cabarrot has recorded double figures twice while posting at least seven points in five matchups.
Luwawu-Cabarrot tallied 23 points (8-18 FG, 7-14 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Monday's 121-110 win over the Timberwolves.
The seven triples were a career-high for Luwawu-Cabarrot, who was making his fourth consecutive start with Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and Cam Reddish (wrist) both sidelined. Though Bogdanovic could be sidelined until late December, Reddish could be ready to play as soon as the Hawks' next game Friday against the Nets, so Luwawu-Cabarrot's run as a big-minute member of the starting five will likely come to an end in short order. Over his four starts in place of Bogdanovic, Luwawu-Cabarrot is averaging 10.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.8 triples and 1.3 assists in 30.0 minutes per contest while shooting 44.4 percent from the field.
