Muscala posted 17 points and six rebounds during 25 minutes of action against the Hornets.
Muscala is currently filling in for Paul Millsap (shoulder) through Sunday's game against the Wizards. This means that Muscala will have elevated value for at least one more game, but he'll head back to a limited role off the bench whenever Millsap makes his return from injury.

Muscala will make another start in place of Paul Millsap, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Millsap will remain out for the next two games, so Muscala figures to start Sunday against the Wizards as well.

Tue Apr 7 201518:25Muscala will start at power forward Tuesday against Suns
Muscala will start at power forward Tuesday against the Suns, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Muscala has been afforded the start due to Paul Millsap's absence due to a sprained right shoulder. In three previous nods this season, Muscala averaged 8.7 points (on 42 percent shooting), 8.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, one block, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 three-pointers in 26 minutes.

Muscala started in the second half after Paul Millsap suffered a shoulder injury. He scored seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in 19 minutes.
Muscala started three of the last four games Millsap missed. The Hawks have two days off before they begin a stretch of five games in seven days, potentially extending Muscala's fantasy worth. He's averaging 8.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in his three starts this season.
Sun Mar 29 201509:36Mike Muscala:
Muscala drew the start and scored a season-high 18 points (7-13 FG 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with 10 rebounds, four asssits one steal and two blocks in the loss to Charlotte on Saturday.
Atlanta rested the their entire starting five after clinching the No.1 seed, and Muscala put together a solid double in 34 minutes. Keep an eye for more sneaky starts like this for Muscala as the Hawks continue to rest their starters down the stretch to prepare for the playoffs.

Muscala is starting in the frontcourt with Paul Millsap and Al Horford getting the night off Saturday against the Hornets.
Muscala is an interesting play in daily games, but when the Hawks are healthy, he doesn't play enough to be of use in anything other than the deepest of leagues.

Muscala started in place of Paul Millsap (rest) on Saturday, scoring two points (1-3 FG) with seven rebounds and one block in 17 minutes.
Despite the start, Muscala's game did yield any fantasy goodness as the Hawks preferred an Al Horford/Mike Scott frontcourt most of the game. There is barely a league where Muscala's 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds would be useful, so we can ignore this as a spot start.
Sat Mar 7 201518:29Muscala will start Saturday's contest at Philadelphia
Muscala will start Saturday's contest at Philadelphia, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
With Kyle Korver, DeMarre Carroll, Paul Millsap, and Pero Antic all receiving a day of rest, the Hawks will entrust Muscala with significant run in the post Saturday. In his sole start of the season, Muscala posted six points (3-10 FG), nine rebounds, and one steal in 26 minutes.

Muscala returned to the Hawks on Monday after a one-game D-League stint.
Muscala played one game for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants, but he's rejoined the team and should be available for Tuesday's home game against the Rockets. The second-year forward has played only sparingly this season, seeing mostly garbage time in 20 games.

Muscala saw an uptick in playing time Saturday, logging 16 minutes on the floor. He finished the game with five points, four blocks, and one rebound.
Muscala generally doesn't see a ton of playing time outside of blowouts, but the Hawks were without Al Horford and Pero Antic on Saturday, limiting their front court depth. Generally speaking, Muscala is too far down on the depth chart to carry much fantasy value.
Sat Feb 21 201509:26Muscala contributed five rebounds and one assist during eight mi...
Muscala contributed five rebounds and one assist during his eight minutes on the court against the Raptors on Friday.
The eight minutes that Muscala saw Friday came in garbage time as the Raptors maintained a healthy lead over the Hawks for the majority of the game. The 22-year-old is only averaging 8.2 minutes on the court this season and holds limited value as a result.
Sun Feb 8 201513:30Muscala recalled by Hawks on Sunday
Muscala was recalled by the Hawks on Sunday.
Muscala was sent down to the D-League for one game as he was able to put up 12 points, eight rebounds, and three assists for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Despite Sunday's promotion, Muscala will struggle for minutes with the Hawks and could face another stint in the D-League shortly.
Sat Feb 7 201501:34Muscala will be sent to D-League on Saturday
Muscala will be sent to the D-League on Saturday, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Muscala will join the Fort Wayne Mad Ants for Saturday's contest and is expected to return to the Hawks on Sunday.
Sat Jan 17 201523:54Muscala received DNP-coach's decision Saturday against Bulls
Muscala received a DNP-coach's decision Saturday against the Bulls.
With Pero Antic getting the night off, Muscala was expected to get some run against the Bulls, but never entered the game. He remains a low-end option in most formats, averaging just eight minutes off the bench per-game this season.
Tue Jan 13 201521:51Muscala started for Al Horford (rest) and had six points (3-10 F...
Muscala started for Al Horford (rest) and had six points (3-10 FG) and nine rebounds in 26 minutes in the win over the 76ers on Tuesday.
Muscala had only played scraps of minutes, but was able to board against Philadelphia. Horford should be back Wednesday against Boston, so there is no reason to add the former Bucknell center at this time.
Tue Jan 13 201518:15Muscala will get start at power forward Tuesday
Muscala will get the start at power forward Tuesday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports.
Paul Millsap is getting the night off to rest, as the Hawks can probably handle the Sixers without him, and this is the first game of a back-to-back. Despite getting the start, Muscala is not necessarily a good bet to outproduce Mike Scott or Pero Antic, who should both see significant run off the bench in the frontcourt.
Fri Jan 9 201516:47Muscala's current contract became guaranteed for rest of season
Muscala's current contract became guaranteed for the rest of the season, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
Muscala hasn't necessarily shined during his 10 games on the court this season, although Atlanta is one of the best teams in the league so they hardly have any reason to tinker with team chemistry by dropping Muscala's contract. He'll continue to stay with the Hawks this season, although he'll almost certainly never be called upon unless things have gotten out of hand.

Muscala was recalled from the D-League and will be available for Tuesday's game, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports.
He has been back and forth between the Hawks and the D-League a couple times this season, and that trend should continue, with Muscala struggling to offer much fantasy value.
Sat Dec 20 201411:19Muscala recalled by Hawks on Saturday
Muscala was recalled by the Hawks on Saturday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports.
He will be available off the bench for Saturday's game in Houston, but he does not offer much fantasy value due to a lack of considerable playing time.
