Gueye notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Monday's 107-106 win over the Knicks in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Gueye played just five minutes, continuing to serve as a makeshift backup, highlighting the fact that Atlanta is certainly not blessed with center depth at the moment. Both he and Tony Bradley are really the only two backup options right now, with neither providing reliable production.

Rotowire
Gueye (hip) is available to return to Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Knicks.
Gueye went to the locker room after suffering a right hip contusion at the 5:33 mark of the first quarter but has since returned to the bench and is available to play. With Jock Landale (ankle) out, Gueye is the primary backup to Onyeka Okongwu at center and should see action over the remainder of Monday's contest.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Gueye (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Gueye was initially tagged as questionable due to right shoulder inflammation, but the third-year pro has been given the green light to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. He's averaging 15.3 minutes per game this season but should operate in an expanded role against the Heat due to the absences of Onyeka Okongwu (finger), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Jalen Johnson (rest).

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: May not play against Miami
Rotowire
Gueye is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to right shoulder inflammation.
The Hawks are resting several key players for Sunday's regular-season finale, including Onyeka Okongwu (finger), Jalen Johnson (rest) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee). Gueye was slated to take on an elevated role, but his status is now in jeopardy due to his injury. If he's unable to play against the Heat, then more minutes would be available for Tony Bradley, Christian Koloko and Asa Newell.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Won't start Monday
Rotowire
Gueye won't start Monday's game against the Celtics.
With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) and Dyson Daniels (toe) back in action, Gueye will slide to the second unit. He has averaged just 10.0 minutes per game while shooting 12.5 percent from the field over his last five appearances off the bench, though he could see a bump in minutes due to Jock Landale (illness) being out.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Back to bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Gueye is not in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Heat on Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Gueye made his fifth start of the season Saturday during the Hawks 129-124 loss to the Pacers, when he logged 15 points, four rebounds, three steals and one block over 32 minutes. Even with Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) not playing Tuesday, Gueye will revert to a bench role while Christian Koloko enters Atlanta's starting lineup.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Goes for 15 points and three steals
Rotowire
Gueye logged 15 points (4-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Saturday's 129-124 loss to the Pacers.
Gueye turned in a solid two-way performance, scoring at least 15 points for just the second time this season while also matching his season high with four combined steals and blocks. With Onyeka Okongwu (mouth) set to miss at least another game, Gueye is someone to consider for streaming purposes, specifically for those in need of cheap defensive stats.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Available to play
Rotowire
Gueye (ankle) is available for Thursday's game in Portland, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Gueye should be more involved in the rotation with Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) out again, so he's on the radar as a potential deep league streamer if you need some defensive stats. Over the past four games, Gueye has posted averages of 5.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 steals in 24.2 minutes per contest.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Upgraded to probable
Rotowire
Gueye is probable for Thursday's game against Portland due to a right ankle sprain.
With Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) ruled out, Gueye is in position to see a fairly decent amount of run if cleared to play Thursday. Gueye has logged at least 19 minutes in four consecutive games, and a similar workload appears to be in store against the Trail Blazers.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Iffy for Thursday
Rotowire
Gueye (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Portland.
Gueye is managing a right lateral ankle sprain that puts his availability for Thursday in question. Primarily a reserve this season, the big man has seen solid playing time recently, averaging 24.0 minutes, 5.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.8 assists over the past four games. With Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) already ruled out, Gueye's potential absence would leave Atlanta thin in the frontcourt.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Monster line in win
Rotowire
Gueye supplied 10 points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and four steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-100 win over the Pelicans.
With Onyeka Okongwu (illness) sidelined Wednesday, the Hawks let Gueye loose with the starters, and he delivered. He posted his second double-double of the season and set a new career-high mark in steals (4). Kristaps Porzingis is likely to have reduced workloads going forward, so Gueye could be able to build some momentum from this eruption.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Iffy for Tuesday
Rotowire
Gueye is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls with a sprained right shoulder.
Gueye is in danger of missing his first game of the season. His possible absence would free up some more playing time for Zaccharie Risacher and Asa Newell in the frontcourt, as Kristaps Porzingis (illness) remains on the shelf.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Scoreless over 23 minutes
Rotowire
Gueye ended Wednesday's 115-92 loss to the Clippers with zero points (0-2 FG), six rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes.
Gueye saw some increased opportunity as a starter Wednesday, but he failed to make the most of it, missing both of his shot attempts in a scoreless performance. He's gone 0-for-5 from the floor over the past two games, so he's clearly slumping at the moment. Expect him to return to a reserve role Friday against the Nuggets.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Gueye is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Gueye is getting the start with Jalen Johnson (calf) unavailable, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Zaccharie Risacher and Onyeka Okongwu. As a starter this season, Gueye has posted averages of 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 3.0 triples, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: All-around impact in win
Rotowire
Gueye closed Sunday's 142-134 double-overtime victory over the 76ers with 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and two steals over 23 minutes.
Gueye has now put up back-to-back double-digit scoring performances and has recorded both a steal and a block in both those games. His increased role may be due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being sidelined, but Gueye has taken advantage of the opportunity and will continue to do so if Porzingis remains out.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Leads Atlanta in start
Rotowire
Gueye amassed 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes in Saturday's 122-102 win over the Lakers.
Gueye got the starting nod for the injury-plagued Hawks, posting a team- and career-high 21 points. He also knocked down four three-pointers for just the second time in his career. Additionally, the 22-year-old dished out a career-high mark in assists after totaling eight in his first nine regular-season appearances. He'll likely continue to provide a spark off the bench, though Gueye is a likely candidate to step into the starting five whenever Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) is sidelined.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Flirts with double-double in win
Rotowire
Gueye produced 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three turnovers in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 111-107 win over Orlando.
Gueye got some extended run in this one with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) unavailable and both Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu dealing with foul trouble, and he made the most out of the opportunity. He brought some great energy and grit to the second unit, but it's worth noting he only saw five minutes off the bench in the season opener when Porzingis was healthy. There's a lot of talent here, but he's currently buried on the depth chart.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Off injury report for Wednesday
Rotowire
Gueye (rest) is off the Hawks' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Gueye will return to game action after sitting out Thursday's preseason loss to the Rockets. The 22-year-old big man is expected to provide frontcourt depth for the Hawks this season behind Jalen Johnson, Kristaps Porzingis and Onyeka Okongwu.
